That campaign by the spouses of soldiers raised very legitimate...

Spring Economic Statement (28 Apr 2015)

Clare Daly: I thank the Government for introducing me to a brand new emotion, which is a kind of combination of, on the one hand, being incredibly underwhelmed and, at the same time, offended by the fanfare that is scheduled for this week.

Other Questions: Irish Airlines Superannuation Scheme (29 Apr 2015)
