- Questions on Promised Legislation (27 Jun 2018)
Ruth Coppinger: There is a reference in the programme for Government to improving tax compliance.

- United States Immigration Policy: Motion (20 Jun 2018)
Ruth Coppinger: A parent will do anything for his or her child and anything to make the child's life easier. We live in a grossly unfair world in which wealth is sucked like a magnet to the top and the eight men control the same amount of wealth as 3.5 billion people.

It is absolutely vital that we ask the Business Committee to alter the schedule to take into account the dominant issue on our television screens over the last few days, namely the separation of children from their parents and the putting of those children into cages under the new immigration policy of the US President, Mr. Donald Trump.

- Order of Business (19 Jun 2018)
Ruth Coppinger: I suggest that we ask the Taoiseach to withdraw the invitation to Mr. Trump to visit this country and that we support the protest that will take place at 5 p.m. this evening at the US embassy.
