We have seen several examples - one that I have referred to recently may well be one of them - where the State has provided lucrative contracts for companies that are involved in union-busting activities. My final question to the trade union representatives is this: do they think there is an issue in this State with the State providing contracts for...

Uisce Éireann statistics indicate that on nine separate weeks in the past 18 months,...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (31 Jan 2024)

Mick Barry: The title of this session is Leaders' Questions not leaders not answering the questions. The Minister did not answer the Sinn Féin question.
