Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Food Exports to Iran (26 Mar 2019)

Mick Wallace: I realise that Iran is buying a great deal of meat from Australia, New Zealand and Brazil, as well as from Romania. It is buying a lot of meat from Romania.

Post-European Council Meetings: Statements (27 Mar 2019)

Mick Wallace: I may be. I re-echo Deputy Boyd Barrett's comments about the Taoiseach's attack on Jeremy Corbyn's Labour Party and the notion of anti-Semitism. It is the height of inaccurate populism on the Taoiseach's part. It is totally inaccurate and he could serve himself better. The Government's decision and the decision of 23 governments of the EU to recognise Guaidó as the interim...
