An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (18 Jun 2024)

Holly Cairns: At the outset, I wish the Minister, Deputy Eamon Ryan, the very best as he announced he is stepping down as leader of the Green Party. He has always been sincere and helpful.

These figures...

The Minister is talking about people reaching their full potential and people's needs being met. There is a stark contrast between that kind of language and the language that comes back in reports from the Ombudsman with titles such as "Wasted Lives"....
