Order of Business (22 May 2018)

Joe McHugh: Tá brú ama ann faoi láthair. Táim dóchasach go mbeidh an t-ábhar seo ar an gclár Rialtais ar an 12ú Meitheamh agus ba mhaith liom mo bhuíochas agus mo aitheantas a ghabháil chuig an Teachta Connolly fá choinne an brú air sin agus an pointe fosta. Beidh sé réidh i ndiaidh an chruinniú ag an bord Rialtais ar an...

Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed): Migration Data (16 May 2018)

A friend of mine went to...

Joe McHugh: I thank the Deputies for tabling these questions because this is a space where we do not have enough time as a Parliament to debate and plan for future projections and the country’s direction.

Other Questions: Gaeltacht Policy (9 May 2018)

Joe McHugh: Sin an bealach is fearr. Gabhaim buíochas as an gceist. Maidir leis na Pop-up Gaeltachts, ba mhaith liom aitheantas a ghabháil chuig na daoine uilig a mbíonn páirteach iontu.

Other Questions: Straitéis 20 Bliain don Ghaeilge (9 May 2018)

Joe McHugh: Glacaim leis go bhfuil an Teachta ag tagairt don Straitéis 20 Bliain don Ghaeilge.
