Section 39 Agency Staff Reimbursements: Motion [Private Members] (17 Jan 2018)

Michael Fitzmaurice: I commend Deputy Calleary on this motion, which I fully support.

Michael Fitzmaurice: As Deputy Daly said, no one in here condones people who drink and drive and our hearts go out to people who have lost family members as a result of drink-driving.

The answer, realistically,...

Michael Fitzmaurice: In the past few months farm organisations in different parts of the country have publicised the fact that even though meat might be stamped as such - especially chicken - it is actually not Irish.
