Ceisteanna - Questions: National Economic and Social Council (5 Jul 2023)

Mick Barry: As the Taoiseach knows, library workers have been subjected to a campaign of harassment and intimidation in recent months by far-right activists who are objecting to books on LGBTQ+ sexuality.

I want to bring to the attention of the...
