Situation in Belarus: Motion (1 Jun 2021)

Catherine Connolly: I have no hesitation in supporting the motion. I note that the language was strengthened from the original motion from the committee in the name of the former Minister for Justice. I have no difficulty with that.

Catherine Connolly: I am not sure if the Minister of State understood my reference to Kafka but his reply has just confirmed that I have misjudged that writer. He is much easier to understand than the reply I am getting. I asked a simple question. How many premises in Galway city and county are now connected? Does the Minister of State have a reply to that question or do I take it that no premises have been...
