Pearse Doherty: It is a disaster for the young people who wanted to build a future here and it is a disaster for the families they will leave behind.

Pearse Doherty: I want to make a point on the decision made by the Government last night to appeal to the Supreme Court the judgment secured in the High Court on behalf of the people of Donegal South-West.

I understand Dr. Donal Martin's statement on Highland Radio yesterday was made on the basis that the HSE had decided not to fill the vacancy. The clock is ticking.

Caithfimid bheith dáiríre fá dtaobh seo agus cad atá déanta ag an Rialtas. Tá coiste curtha ar bun le scrúdú a dhéanamh ar caidé a dhéanfar leis na tithe seo sa todhchaí agus tá suirbhé déanta a dheireann nach bhfuil rudaí...
