There was a history of domestic violence and alcohol abuse in the family home. He had been listed by Tusla as a high priority case and, sadly, took his own life at the age of 15 years. Despite the fact that he had been identified as a high priority case, he had not been...

Leaders' Questions (17 May 2017)

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: The Taoiseach appears to have misunderstood the context. They are not two or three cases that I have come across.

The Department and the Minister are...

Questions on Promised Legislation (17 May 2017)

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: It appears the Minister has either disappeared or decided he is going to personally investigate fraud himself. The programme for Government states the Government will honour its commitment to recognise the state of Palestine. That vote was taken by the Dáil and Seanad two and a half years ago. Níl an Rialtas tar éis faic a dhéanamh i dtaobh an ábhar seo ó...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Programme for Government Implementation (17 May 2017)

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: As the Taoiseach will know, there was much in the programme for Government, to which Sinn Féin objected from the outset, but, even by this Government's standards and its own brand of politics, its first year has been a failure.

Thar timpeall ar an Dúglas agus i mBaile an Róistigh tá an pobal thart ar 25,000 duine agus i gCarraigh Uí Leighin tá an pobal tar éis méadú ó 12,000 go 16,000 ó bhí 2006 ann.

Topical Issue Debate: School Accommodation Provision (23 May 2017)

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: I am not terribly reassured by that. The site for the Gaelcholáiste was secured in 2010 and we are now in May 2017. The Department is entirely capable of delivering a building before December 2019 on a site that has already been purchased. The potential of the school is being held back and it is not good enough to say it has to go to the back of the queue. The desire to build this...
