- Recent Cyberattack and its Impact on the Health System: Statements (18 May 2021)
Catherine Connolly: My question was about why it was not published. The Minister of State is telling me it was because of Covid. I do not accept that. Covid did not interfere with the completion of this. It was extremely important to complete this capacity review, which I presume is limited, because it is simply about capacity. We are talking about the risk of the computer system. Deputy Cullinane already...

That is what I am attempting to do here.

- Ceisteanna - Questions: Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (18 May 2021)

- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (18 May 2021)
Catherine Connolly: The fundamental problem is that the Government and previous Governments have commodified housing. They have decided it is a commodity to be sold and traded. Each Government one after the other has had housing policies backing that up to ensure that ordinary people would not be able to buy a house or rent a house. In Galway the task force has told us that the rent crisis has risen 97%. The...
