Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Reform of Family Law System: Discussion (Resumed) (6 Mar 2019)

Mick Wallace: I will be brief. Mr. Ó hUllacháin spoke about the site in Hammond Lane. I believe the OPW paid approximately €4 million for it some 20 years ago. Does he know why it was stalled? Has he ever challenged the Government about it? I will ask a number of questions together as otherwise we will never get out of here. Mr. Ó hUllacháin spoke about the need for...

Local Drug and Alcohol Task Forces: Motion [Private Members] (7 Mar 2019)

Mick Wallace: I support the motion. We could implement all the actions in the motion and matters would certainly improve for people who are suffering under a crazy system, but many of the situations that give rise to the drugs issue will persist. The criminalisation of drugs is a travesty. Above all, it is a gift to the gangs that have been handed by the State a tax-free business that is worth over...

National Children's Hospital: Motion [Private Members] (12 Mar 2019)

Mick Wallace: I thank the Rural Independent Group for giving me time. This is the fifth time I have raised the national children's hospital in this House. I have asked many questions.

It is absolute nonsense that there is no...
