Gerard Craughwell: Councillor Leonard from Wicklow talks about the Rosslare line. I understand now that the train is so overcrowded that people stand all of the time. She has made the request for at least two more carriages to be added. She also mentions people carrying bicycles on the train, and this is becoming a problem. I use the Luas and have seen people bringing their bicycles into seated and standing...

Gerard Craughwell: As we move through the period up to the referendum on 8 March for the thirty-ninth and fortieth amendments to the Constitution, it is vital and important that the public is protected from mis- or disinformation.

- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (23 Jan 2024)
Gerard Craughwell: I appreciate that this is not the debate. She wrote: Article 41.2 may not hurt women directly, but it frames our lives, our society and our value.
