Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Olympic Games (13 Jul 2021)

James Lawless: I thank the Minister of State. I listened with interest to his reply. This is a taxpayer-funded sport, and certainly the governing body is taxpayer funded. The selection process and the Olympic Games delegation would receive similar taxpayer funding. The coach, who is a resident of California I am told, is taxpayer funded. I am not sure how appropriate it is for someone who has not set...

Maritime Jurisdiction Bill 2021: Committee and Remaining Stages (14 Jul 2021)

James Lawless: Notwithstanding Deputy Brady's political assault on Fianna Fáil and other parties, which is irrelevant to the debate, it is important to put down some law around the subject and to consider the points.
