Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Departmental Expenditure (28 Sep 2023)

Peadar Tóibín: Politics 101 in Ireland is to launch a multimillion euro budget for a sector in society that is significantly suffering, accompanied with plenty of media and loads of photographs, and then make the application process for that money so tied up in red tape and bureaucracy that it is almost impossible for community groups or citizens who are in trouble to draw down the money. Funds are then...

Ceisteanna Eile (Atógáil) - Other Questions (Resumed): Northern Ireland (28 Sep 2023)

Peadar Tóibín: Many victims of the Troubles will find it extremely sad that the Tánaiste has descended to whataboutery to defend inaction.

Ceisteanna Eile (Atógáil) - Other Questions (Resumed): Northern Ireland (28 Sep 2023)

Peadar Tóibín: The Government has been consistent in talking, in giving its views and in diplomacy, but it has been completely opposed to action. In fact, this is a Government of inaction and inertia. It is a do-nothing Government when it comes to standing up for the rights of Irish citizens on this human rights issue. It is an incredible situation. The Tánaiste talked about a shared approach....

Ceisteanna Eile (Atógáil) - Other Questions (Resumed): Northern Ireland (28 Sep 2023)

Will he give hope to the victims and survivors by declaring...
