Vote 31 - Transport, Tourism and Sport (Revised) (29 Mar 2017) Kevin O'Keeffe: Now for the hard question. Out of that budget, the Minister has made his spend this year on capital projects.

- Topical Issue Debate: Bus Éireann (4 Apr 2017)
Kevin O'Keeffe: The time has come for tit-for-tat politics to end. It is time for the Government to lead through policy on Bus Éireann. Is it not enough for our public transport system to be at a standstill for 12 days? What is clear is that we are faced with two possible outcomes where either we find a solution to the current crisis or we see Bus Éireann go into examinership and then almost...

The actions of Fine Gael have imposed hardship on members of the Defence Forces and their families. In the past...
