Pearse Doherty: Medical scientists have been waiting for 20 years for the Government to turn up and deliver. They do not need plaudits. They do not need applause. What they need is a government to step up to the plate, recognise the invaluable work they do in the health service and recognise all of the work that they have done over the past number of years. They have been waiting 20 years for a...

Pearse Doherty: The Government's lack of forward planning in respect of special education school places is holding children back from achieving their full potential.

Pearse Doherty: Níl dabht ar bith ach go bhfuil smacht caillte ag an Rialtas ar an ghéarchéim costais maireachtála.
