Home Ownership: Motion [Private Members] (31 May 2023)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: One of my colleagues brought up the fact that all of us do clinics, or most of us in this House do. A considerable number of people come to us during those clinics.

Ruairí Ó Murchú: I thank the Minister of State and his entourage for coming.

Níl mé cinnte gur gá le hainmniúcháin ar an mbord. Tuigim na deacrachtaí atá ann maidir le cuótaí inscne nó a leithéid...

Tá muidne ag lorg trí seachas dó. Níl mé cinnte go bhfuil an framework i gceart faoin am seo maidir leis sin. An bhfuil muid ag lorg feidhmeanna nua...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Autism: Autism Policy: Discussion (Resumed) (30 May 2023)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: Apologies, I have just landed, but I was listening to the debate the entire time. I will not break with what people have said in thanking everyone.
