National Cervical Screening Programme: Statements (1 May 2018)

Kevin O'Keeffe: To be fair, we must thank the Minister for immediately bringing whatever information has come to hand to the Dáil. We must commend the bravery of Vicky Phelan.

We, as legislators, should set about dealing...

Road Traffic (Amendment) Bill: Report Stage (Resumed) (2 May 2018)

Kevin O'Keeffe: The last time I spoke on this Bill was on 8 December 2017. That night, one of the oldest rural pubs in north Cork, the Function Bar, closed. That bar made its living out of people who drove to the pub and had a couple of drinks. They did not pass any other pub. These people have since been left in rural isolation. They are the older generation, not the young generation. I speak tonight...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Tourism - An Industry Strategy for Growth to 2025: Discussion (2 May 2018)

Kevin O'Keeffe: I want to touch on the thorny issue of raising tax on a regional or intercity basis. No one can compete with Dublin. How can we make the regions more attractive?
