Peadar Tóibín: I met a large number of protestors today outside the Dáil and spoke to them about what is happening in the nursing sector, which is absolutely shocking.

Peadar Tóibín: The ODCE has had a troubled existence, mostly because of the lack of resources it has received. We spend so much time in this Chamber discussing legislation and fretting over wording or phrasing but it is usually the case that unless there is proper enforcement, the legislation is not worth the paper it is written on. There are many examples of businesses, and staff and employees...

Peadar Tóibín: On a slightly left-field note, this country is also dealing with a big problem relating to commissions of investigation.
