George Mitchell Scholarship Fund (Amendment) Bill 2010: Second Stage (18 Feb 2010)

Order of Business (25 Feb 2010)

It has come to light that the Courts Service of Ireland is considering closing Ballymote...

Court Accommodation. (25 Feb 2010)

John Perry: In this context, the removal of Ballymote District Court from the town would be a decision of the most short-sighted and ludicrous nature. It would clearly undermine and interfere with the smooth operation of the Garda station. There is no joined-up thinking in this regard. It would take gardaí away from their communities for unnecessarily long periods of time and undermine the concept of...
