- Strategic Communications Unit: Motion [Private Members] (20 Mar 2018)
Brian Stanley: I welcome this motion. I heard the defence by the Tánaiste earlier on. I think he is either confused or deliberately missing the point. Communications, political or otherwise, must not be about confusion, contradiction or concealment. They must be about clarity and facts. Leo's good news department was not created for clarity and truth but for confusion. We now have this unit at a...

- Telecommunications Services (Ducting and Cables) Bill 2018 [Seanad]: Second Stage (21 Mar 2018)
