- Ceisteanna - Questions: Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (8 May 2018)
Brendan Howlin: It is always fascinating to read the Taoiseach's or anyone else's views. Having had the chance to look at his speech in Leuven on the future of Europe, I believe there are many questions one could ask. In general terms - we have had references to this previously during Taoiseach's questions - all of us need the opportunity to talk about the future of Europe. There is an ongoing debate on...

- Ceisteanna - Questions: Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (8 May 2018)
Brendan Howlin: I was uncharacteristically pessimistic in my own few comments during the dialogue in Dundalk because I am now becoming quite fearful that the British Government's strategy is to fudge the issue in June and again in October and to hope somehow to fold it into the transition period and that even that will not work. It is now abundantly clear that the so-called bulletproof, unalterable safety...

To ask the Minister for Health the reason for the delay in approving the retention of the mobile temporary diagnostic cath lab at Waterford University Hospital; the date when approval issued to the hospital to renew the contract for the mobile lab; if appointments for diagnosis were cancelled which could have been dealt with by the mobile lab; if contract staff operating the lab were...
- Questions on Promised Legislation (9 May 2018)

- Ceisteanna - Questions: Departmental Strategies (9 May 2018)
Brendan Howlin: We need a strategic view of what doubling Ireland's global footprint by 2025 actually means. Is it specifically looking at regions we need to invest in, beefing up existing embassies and-or establishing the embassies which have been announced? As Deputy McDonald said, the Taoiseach announced new embassies for Wellington in New Zealand, Santiago in Chile, Bogota in Colombia and Oman in...

- Ceisteanna - Questions: Departmental Staff Data (9 May 2018)
Brendan Howlin: The Leas-Cheann Comhairle will be glad to hear that I will be very brief. I wish to ask just three questions of the Taoiseach, if I may. The Taoiseach has been hearing a more pessimistic tone coming from me in respect of what is happening with Brexit. For my own information as much as anything, he might indicate with some clarity the structure of the Brexit team. As I understand it,...
