Ceisteanna - Questions: Northern Ireland (11 Apr 2017)

Micheál Martin: I want to make a point through the Chair. The Northern Ireland Executive and the Assembly were deliberately scuttled on an issue that everyone knew about six months in advance, namely, the renewable heat scandal.

Leaders' Questions (12 Apr 2017)

Micheál Martin: Last Friday, I visited the Capuchin Day Centre for Homeless People and met Brother Kevin Crowley and his team.
