Micheál Martin: I think the Taoiseach will agree that An Garda Síochána is central to our democracy and to the security of our State.

Micheál Martin: I commend the Taoiseach on the Joycean stream of consciousness we were just privileged to witness. There have been numerous issues with new drug technologies and medicines coming on stream. We have had one row after another. One of the issues is the lack of ring-fenced funding to enable decisions to be taken with one eye on the current health budget. The most recent case concerns malignant...

Questions on Promised Legislation (10 May 2017)
