Micheál Martin: The Taoiseach avoided answering the key questions I put to him. He is, perhaps, the only person who has that view on the removal of the former Garda Commissioner. Irrespective of one's views on the former Commissioner or whether one was for or against him, the bottom line is that on this issue he did everything appropriately. However, the Taoiseach sent the Secretary General out to his...

Leaders' Questions (11 Apr 2017)

Ceisteanna - Questions: Brexit Issues (5 Apr 2017)

Micheál Martin: I have two questions in this group. We spent some time on this yesterday and we had a debate on Brexit. Will the Taoiseach elaborate on a question I asked?
