Topical Issue Debate: Bus Éireann (4 Apr 2017)

Ruth Coppinger: The Minister, Deputy Ross, has come a long way from when he was on this side of the House ranting and raving.

Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committee Meetings (5 Apr 2017)

Ruth Coppinger: It seems that the seriousness of this issue had not permeated the Government. The reputation of the whole system of justice has never been so low, yet the Taoiseach has not bothered to convene a committee on which key players sit and is choosing not to use the forum in question.
