Catherine Connolly: It is very difficult to have faith. I do not mean in Mr. Doyle personally, whom I welcome here today. We are going down a cul-de-sac and we are under extraordinary pressure with climate change and sustainable development. I started by referring to all of the plans but we do not need any more plans. We need implementation of what is on the ground. We need reviews. It should have been...

Catherine Connolly: Baineann mo cheist le cúrsaí mheabharshláinte agus an polasaí agus fís A Vision for Change, 2006 go dtí 2016. Mar a léiríonn an tréimhse ama, tháinig sé chun deiridh breis is bliain ó shin. Go mion minic sa Dáil ó shin, tá sé geallta agus deimhnithe go bhfuil athbhreithniú ar siúl. An freagra...

Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed) - Priority Questions: Schools Building Projects (1 Mar 2017)

Catherine Connolly: I tabled a question to the Minister last month and I am back on the same subject because I am unhappy - more importantly, the group behind the request for a new Educate Together school in Galway is most unhappy - with the response.

Insurance Industry: Motion [Private Members] (1 Mar 2017)

Catherine Connolly: I thank Deputy Michael McGrath for tabling this motion. I have no hesitation in supporting it. I want to say there is quite a lot of merit in what my colleague, Deputy Boyd Barrett, has said in respect of a State insurance company. It should be looked at. Since the 1980s, the compensation fund has advanced moneys to the former PMPA, to the former Insurance Corporation of Ireland, to...
