Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: EU Issues (29 Sep 2020)

Eoghan Murphy: It is very important that we continue with the progress we are making in the capital market union to protect the European Union from negative external shocks, in terms of capital flowing in and out of the EU.

I asked for confirmation on some issues relating to the e-Government strategy which was meant to be updated.

I know it might not seem like a very important matter, but so many of my constituents are now...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: eGovernment Services (29 Sep 2020)

Eoghan Murphy: Hopefully not, but it is happening in the private sector. I have only found it to be a frustrating experience.

It is great to see a new Minister of State who is able to take charge and drive...

This country has a...
