Housing Affordability: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (28 Jan 2015)

Regina Doherty: I can take it.

Order of Business (5 Feb 2015)

Regina Doherty: Have we an exact date for the horse racing (amendment) Bill to come to the House?

Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (Revised) (11 Feb 2015)

Regina Doherty: On the one hand it is good, and on the other hand it is a pity to see such an increase in the budget for flood risk. I appreciate what is being done and wish the Minister of State well. I hope everything that he and the officials do yields results. The people we represent do not have any more hope. They are at the end of their tether. Will the Minister of State explain the increase in...
