Planning and Development (Strategic Infrastructure) Bill 2006 [Seanad]: Second Stage (Resumed). (14 Jun 2006)

Séamus Healy: In yesterday's debate, I went through some of the key features of the Bill.

Garda Deployment. (8 Jun 2006)

Séamus Healy: While any increase in Garda numbers is welcome, does the Minister accept that an unacceptable situation has been allowed to develop by him and the Government, as well as the previous Fianna Fáil-Progressive Democrats Administration, in south Tipperary over the past ten years? For example, there has been no increase in the number of gardaí in south Tipperary during the lifespan of this...

Greyhound Industry (Doping Regulation) Bill 2006: Second Stage (Resumed). (8 Jun 2006)
