Animal Health and Welfare (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2021: Second Stage (4 Nov 2021)

Réada Cronin: I too welcome this Bill and Sinn Féin will support it.

Réada Cronin: As has already been stated, Sinn Féin will support this motion.

Given that we are dealing with a full-blown...

On this side of the House we have been told for a long time it could...

The large delegation of posh fossil fuel lobbyists was reportedly the largest delegation and when the leaders of governments asked them to pay nicely, they, basically, just said "No." I wonder at the surprise there....
