- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Welfare, Treatment and Traceability of Horses: Discussion (Resumed) (23 Oct 2024)
Tim Lombard: I am open to taking the committee's view on this. Constitutionally, we might have to see about the membership of the committee.

- Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Road Network (6 Nov 2024)
