Reception Conditions Directive: Motion (23 Jan 2018)

Michael Healy-Rae: The first thing I would say to the Minister is that I do not blame him one iota for this situation. He inherited the situation in which he finds himself.

Leaders' Questions (23 Jan 2018)

Michael Healy-Rae: I am, therefore, seeking an increase in the funding this year and that the Minister, Deputy Ring, would be allowed to secure at least €15 million rather than €10 million. Second, historically, it has been late August, September or into October when the funding has been announced.
