Jennifer Whitmore: That is low, Minister of State.
- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Charitable and Voluntary Organisations (22 May 2025)
Jennifer Whitmore: That is an incredibly disappointing response. It is also very confusing.

In another part, he said the immigrant investor programme was first introduced by the Government and directed us to the...
