An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (3 Dec 2019)

They state that the global image our country is to be transformed so that we will be recognised as one of the cleanest and safest environments in the world. That is an exaggeration and a bit of hyperbole, to say the least. The failure of the Government to legislate for a complete ban on smoky...

He did not represent the people of Cork from the end of 2017 onwards....
