- Leaders' Questions (8 Mar 2018)
Imelda Munster: I thank the Tánaiste. As I was listening to him speak of gender equality and leadership, there were four men and just one women in the Front Bench. I remind the House, lest we forget, that the homicide review arose when the National Women's Council of Ireland and Women's Aid requested it. It did not come from the Government. It is the groups representing women — the groups...

- Strategic Communications Unit: Motion [Private Members] (20 Mar 2018)
Imelda Munster: We all acknowledge that the strategic communications unit has been a disaster from day one and the Government will eventually be forced to acknowledge it - the sooner the better. A communications unit is supposed to make news, it is not supposed to be the news. Initially we were told the unit would not cost the State a cent. Those were the Taoiseach's words. Subsequently, we discovered...

Imelda Munster: This particular person was director of market development at Fáilte Ireland at the time that the Taoiseach in his capacity of Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport took it upon himself to lobby on foot of a phone call from Donald Trump.
