Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (1 Feb 2022)

Two weeks ago, I tabled a question to the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage relating to a family in Crumlin that was facing possible homelessness.

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: School Accommodation (1 Feb 2022)

Joan Collins: I take on board the point that there has been a huge increase. That is very welcome and it was needed from the point of view of autistic children.
