Committee on the Future of Healthcare Report: Motion (Resumed) (16 Nov 2017)

Róisín Shortall: I thank everyone who contributed to this debate, though I think it very disappointing that it was very quietly slipped in this morning. I think many Members were not even aware that this debate was taking place this morning as this was not signalled last week.

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Brexit Negotiations (16 Nov 2017)

Róisín Shortall: We all agree that it would be madness from our point of view and from that of the EU. While we all hope for the best, however, we must clearly prepare for the worst.

He was confident about free movement of people and...
