- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (27 Nov 2019)
Micheál Martin: The first issue is the scale of the problem as revealed by Europol. That is the bit I do not think the Government has got yet, to be honest, in particular given the fact nine Ministers of State signed a document on the reduction of resourcing of community partnerships and the whole loss of multidisciplinary impacts on the ground in certain disadvantaged communities. It is very clear from...

- Ceisteanna (Atógáil) - Questions (Resumed): Electoral Process (27 Nov 2019)
Micheál Martin: It will soon be three years since Deputy James Lawless published Fianna Fáil's Bill to introduce transparency and protections for the public in respect of political advertising. The handling of this issue has become a classic case of how the Government is failing to address important public issues. The initial response from the Taoiseach and his party was to reject the idea that...

- Ceisteanna (Atógáil) - Questions (Resumed): Supports to Former Taoisigh (27 Nov 2019)
Micheál Martin: It is the near universal practice in democratic states that former Heads of State and Heads of Government receive continued support and protection after leaving office. That reflects the fact that they continue to be a potential focus for people who might want to cause harm. They also have ongoing calls from the public both here and internationally. They do not suddenly disappear from...
- Ceisteanna (Atógáil) - Questions (Resumed): Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (27 Nov 2019)
Micheál Martin: The breakdown of key relationships has been central to the ongoing crisis in North-South relations in recent years. I am sure the Taoiseach would agree that his statement last year that his relationship with the DUP was fine because he had Arlene Foster's mobile number was not really a reflection of reality. When the DUP went off with the European Research Group, ERG, Tories in their Brexit...
