Other Questions: Rural Transport Services (19 Jul 2016)

Catherine Connolly: I thank the Minister for his reply. However, I am disappointed. This is my third follow up in relation to this matter. I will continue to follow up on it. During a meeting with the National Transport Authority, which comes under the remit of the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, a delegation, of which I was a member, was told that the NTA was preparing a report. I have tried to...

Housing Strategy: Statements (19 Jul 2016)

Catherine Connolly: I listened to the Taoiseach tell us this morning that the local authorities had not measured up. He repeated this later using different phraseology.

Health (Amendment) Bill 2016 [Seanad]: Second Stage (20 Jul 2016)

Catherine Connolly: I have no hesitation in supporting this Bill. The Minister of State said it was a technical amendment to the 2007 Act with the sole purpose of extending the transitional period but the necessity of the amendment is certainly not technical in the lives of the people affected. I and everybody else throughout the country who watched the programme on Áras Attracta were rendered speechless....

Priority Questions: IDA Expenditure (20 Jul 2016)

Catherine Connolly: I thank the Minister. It would represent a saving, but how was this allowed to happen? What was the Minister's knowledge of it? When did it come to her attention or that of the previous Minister? How could something like this be allowed to happen, where €10.4 million of taxpayers' money was spent on a property that is empty? The Minister has given me the background to the case,...

Priority Questions: IDA Expenditure (20 Jul 2016)
