Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: International Protection (29 Apr 2025)

This is a tourist village, and the loss of this...

Final Draft Revised National Planning Framework: Motion (30 Apr 2025)

Louis O'Hara: This framework will have a significant influence on the development of major strategic projects in the State. It should show ambition for future balanced regional development. As a TD from the west of Ireland, however, I think this development plan fails to address the current regional imbalance between the greater Dublin area and the rest of the country. If anything, the population growth...

Childcare: Motion (7 May 2025)

Louis O'Hara: The consequences of the crisis in childcare are well known. Many parents who want to work are prevented from doing so.

It impacts hugely on low-income families. At present, we have some of the highest...
