Private Security Services (Amendment) Bill 2016: Second Stage (Resumed) (12 May 2021)

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Harbours and Piers (12 May 2021)

Catherine Connolly: I thank the Minister, but I received the exact same answer on 29 June 2020. I am sorry, but I have learned nothing extra beyond the fact that there was a final report in 2020.

Catherine Connolly: An chéad cheist a chur mé ná an nglacann na finnéithe leis go bhfuil an rud atá déanta ag an gCoimisinéir Teanga thar a bheith neamhghnách.
