European Union Battle Group: Motion (27 Jun 2019)

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (26 Jun 2019)

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (26 Jun 2019)

Paul Murphy: I will pose some very clear questions to the Taoiseach in order that there will be no mistaking them. I will set out the logic of the workers, which is foolproof.

Summer Economic Statement 2019: Statements (25 Jun 2019)

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Special Educational Needs Service Provision (25 Jun 2019)
