- Ceisteanna - Questions: European Council Meetings (28 Jun 2017)
Micheál Martin: If there is to be any form of special status for Northern Ireland, Dublin will have to propose it, especially in the absence of working institutions in the North.

The Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade said last week that we are in favour of a...

Micheál Martin: Last week's summit took no significant decisions and all its specific outcomes were well signalled in advance, yet this is an important moment for Europe, where the future shape and direction of the EU is receiving more attention than at any time in the last quarter of a century.

- Leaders' Questions (4 Jul 2017)
Micheál Martin: A man died because he could not get access to emergency heart treatment within any reasonable timeframe. People feel the time for review is over. I asked the Taoiseach a very specific question. The clinical review team said to go ahead with the second cath lab. A business case was made in 2013 and 2014. Who stopped that? Can someone give me a transparent answer to that question? Why...

- Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committee Meetings (4 Jul 2017)
Micheál Martin: When the re-establishment of a Department of community and rural affairs was announced three weeks ago, no details were provided on what its responsibilities would be. There has since been near-complete silence. In the Taoiseach's leadership manifesto there is very little detail on rural affairs, with the programme simply promising to implement existing policies. It is clear that the...
