Eoin Ó Broin: We had this conversation when representatives of the Department originally came before the committee for discussion on strategic housing development, SHD.

While I do not seek a spreadsheet for all 117 initial contacts, a...

Local Government (Rates) Bill 2018: Second Stage (30 Jan 2019)

Like others, when I was on a council, I was trying to negotiate for an individual ratepayer who was...

If we sat down at committee and worked our way through it in that collegiate spirit in which we have been working on a number of issues with the Minister, we might find some good suggestions and good ways.
