Mortgage Interest Relief Scheme: Motion [Private Members] (8 Feb 2023)

Catherine Connolly: Gabhaim comhghairdeas leis an Aire Stáit nua. Ní bhfuair mé deis é sin a rá go dtí seo agus go n-éirí léi ina ról nua.

We are talking...

Nursing Home Charges and Disability Allowance Payments: Statements (9 Feb 2023)

Catherine Connolly: I have less than two and a half minutes. I will not take a breath and will stay focused.

Not alone is it done that way, it is...
