Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (21 Sep 2023)

Ivana Bacik: The Minister wants to deal with facts. This month marks two years since the launch of his Housing for All programme.

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (21 Sep 2023)

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (20 Sep 2023)

Ivana Bacik: We have all been utterly dismayed this week about revelations concerning the safety of certain surgeries performed at Temple Street Children's Hospital.
