Extension of Civil Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2021: Motion (29 May 2024)

Pauline Tully: When the Act of 2021 was first introduced and areas were pedestrianised, there was a lack of consultation with disabled people and disabled persons' organisations.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Women and Constitutional Change: HERe NI (30 May 2024)

It does not matter what part of the island they are from as these...
