UK Withdrawal from the EU: Statements (Resumed) (27 Sep 2017)

Peadar Tóibín: Political activism is mainly a hard grind. Progress is usually frustratingly slow and barriers to development often seem insurmountable.

Brexit is an unmitigated disaster. It will affect...

My question simply asked how much in loans was being given out by the Irish Film...

Priority Questions: Cruinnithe an Aire (27 Sep 2017)

Peadar Tóibín: I will take this question in English because I want the senior Minister to answer, if possible. Irish is a massive part of our heritage. It is rich in vibrant history, literature and thought, and it is as rich as the language of any country in Europe. It is a key part of the diversity of this planet.
