- Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Civil Liability (Amendment) Bill 2017: Committee Stage (29 Jun 2017)

If someone has made a mistake that impacts on an...
- Waste Disposal: Motion [Private Members] (4 Jul 2017)
Jack Chambers: I thank my colleague, Deputy Dooley, for bringing forward this very important motion. The position is clear.
