An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (5 Nov 2024)

Seán Canney: I want to raise the power up grant for small business which was part of budget 2025 for the retail and hospitality sector. Some €170 million was made available with €4,000 per business.

Finance Bill 2024: Committee and Remaining Stages (5 Nov 2024)

Seán Canney: First, I want to speak to the issue of the universal social charge.

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (6 Nov 2024)

Seán Canney: I appreciate what the Taoiseach has given me there. It is a history lesson, let us say. What I think can and should be done is to first look at the work the Minister, Deputy Ryan, has carried out in the all-island rail review.
