Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: National Car Test (2 Mar 2023)

Darren O'Rourke: Gabhaim buíochas leis an Aire Stáit. I am concerned about what we have we heard from Applus and the RSA, and the Minister of State is today just reflecting figures that Applus is giving him. He said 35,000 tests have been done, a significant improvement on December; however, it is no improvement at all on the figures we were given in the committee on 23 January. The figures the...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Ports Policy (2 Mar 2023)

Darren O'Rourke: I accept that there is activity here and that it is not all about funding, but if the funding is not there, the deck of cards will fall and we will not be in a position to deliver on it.
