Imelda Munster: Two weeks ago, I raised the issue of Louth County Council closing the applications for housing adaptation grants for new applicants because of the lack of Government funding.

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (13 Jun 2023)

Imelda Munster: As I speak, retained firefighters are on the picket line in Drogheda and they have been forced to do so and left with no other option because of Government inaction. At present only six out of ten retained firefighter positions in Drogheda are filled, and that is a problem across County Louth which has been ongoing for seven years. They work six 24-hour shifts in a row, with only two days...

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2021 - Sport Ireland and Sport Ireland Facilities DAC (15 Jun 2023)

Imelda Munster: I wish to touch on the previous financial scandals in the FAI. I suppose it is fair to say the light-touch governance that was in place at the time allowed it to develop as it did. It was interesting to hear Sport Ireland say it did not feel the need for a regulator and there was sufficient governance and oversight in place now with the MoU. There were 163 recommendations and 90% have been...
