Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Hospital Facilities (3 Oct 2023)

Maurice Quinlivan: I thank the Minister of State. With the greatest respect to him, as I said earlier, I am deeply disappointed the Minister for Health or a Minister of State from the Department of Health are not here.

Domestic, Sexual and Gender-Based Violence Agency Bill 2023: Second Stage (28 Sep 2023)

Maurice Quinlivan: When the Minister for Justice talks of a zero tolerance approach to domestic and gender-based violence, I cannot but agree with her. It is one of the most horrendous crimes of which a person can be a victim. I think of my home as a sanctuary that I can retreat to after a tough day at work, a place of peace and comfort. For those who are attacked, often the violence directed against them...

At that time, a flag was seized from the Irish Volunteers by the 4th Battalion of the British Army's...
