Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (10 Nov 2021)

Joe O'Reilly: I join with the words others have said about the late Austin Currie, leader of the civil rights movement.

The Minister will observe today that this entire House is mandating him, supporting...

Seanad: Protocol on Ireland and Northern Ireland: Statements (17 Nov 2021)

As Senator Ó Donnghaile said, it stands alongside the EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement in that regard. They are inter-changeable and...
