Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (25 Feb 2025)

Martin Daly: Given the current fluid international political climate and the apparent disengagement of the US from European security, Ireland may be expected to contribute more to EU security.

With the need to protect our infrastructure and secure our borders, do we have a strategy for...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Weather Events (26 Feb 2025)

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Social Welfare Benefits (27 Feb 2025)

Martin Daly: I thank the Minister. In Fianna Fáil, we recognise the major contribution carers make to this society, many giving up careers and job opportunities and often providing full-time care to their loved ones. They take away a huge burden that would otherwise have to be met by the State by means of the use of third-party residences and institutional care for people who are disabled or had...
