Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Farm Safety (15 Jul 2021)

Brendan Griffin: The question relates to farm safety. It is a very important issue. I know it is an area the Minister and the Minister of State have prioritised so far during their Ministries.

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Departmental Schemes (15 Jul 2021)

Brendan Griffin: I appreciate the efforts that have been made with the Department of Transport. I have been a long-time advocate of the Department of Transport supporting the local improvement scheme. The Department should not have abdicated all responsibility back in 2016.
