Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed): Brexit Negotiations (21 Mar 2018)

Leaders' Questions (22 Mar 2018)

There will be an opportunity for us to look in detail at the lessons to be learned about evacuation procedures and so on, but they worked well last night and nobody was injured or died, which is an incredible tribute...

Leaders' Questions (22 Mar 2018)

Brendan Howlin: I thank the Tánaiste for the clarity of his response. It is a view that is shared broadly across the House. Sinn Féin has also introduced legislation in this area, which I acknowledge. In truth, there are people who will miss the deadline and be forced out. Can we not have consensus that the legislation will be introduced this side of the summer recess and implemented with...
