Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection: Report on Child and Family Income Support: Discussion (20 Mar 2013)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I have a number of questions. I was almost lost in the tables in the report. Sometimes when one looks at statistics it is hard to glean exactly what they indicate.

Topical Issue Debate: Part-Time Firefighters (14 Mar 2013)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I thank the Minister of State for his reply and the clarification he has given.
