Pa Daly: Cuirim fáilte roimh na finnéithe. Bhí mé chun ceist a chur ach chuir an Teachta Connolly í cheana. Aontaím le Gráinne O'Rourke gur speictream atá ann. Dúirt sí go bhfuil a lán daltaí in ann an Ghaelainn a fhoghlaim. Aontaím le Donald Ewing mar gheall ar dhaltaí nach bhfuil diagnóis acu. Tá aithne agam ar...

Ms Jourová said that more judges were needed to deal with the backlog of cases and that we had the lowest number of judges, per head of population, in the EU and that there have been some other concerns expressed because following Covid there are backlogs, especially in family law cases. Citizens' access to...
