Centenary of Women's Suffrage: Statements (6 Feb 2018)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection: Public Services Card: Discussion (8 Feb 2018)

Joan Collins: Senator Higgins covered many topics in her contribution. Public services cards were originally brought in in the context of old age pensioners and their access to transport.

Leaders' Questions (15 Feb 2018)

Joan Collins: I also received that letter this morning at 10.38. Obviously, the hospital knew this case was going to be raised today. I do not think it is acceptable.
