Post-European Council Meeting: Statements (30 Jun 2021)

Land Development Agency Bill 2021: Report and Final Stages (30 Jun 2021)

Thomas Gould: Deputy Matthews spoke earlier. I know Deputy Matthews is a new Teachta Dála but I would invite him to contact any local authority or to come to County Cork.
