Dublin (North Inner City) Development Authority Bill 2018: Second Stage [Private Members] (14 Nov 2018)

Maureen O'Sullivan: I find a bittersweet irony in what is being debated when I think back to 1982 and what was agreed between my predecessor, the late Deputy Tony Gregory, and the late Taoiseach, Charles Haughey.

He was able to negotiate a...

When we campaign for a seat on the UN Security Council, we use our neutrality as a...
