Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Industrial Disputes (11 Apr 2019)

Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin: RTÉ has "Claire Byrne Live" but Leinster House has the Minister of State, Deputy Catherine Byrne, show every Thursday for Topical Issue matters. I do not say that in jest, I say it because it is wrong that the Minister himself has not presented to deliver his own script. I have to say I am exasperated reading what we already know and the points we have already made. We heard that the...
