I hope he gave the Taoiseach a sense of the frustration among a very large and broad gathering of people, and also the sense of ambition that was expressed in terms of Ireland after Brexit. It is really important for the Taoiseach to hear those...

- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (5 Feb 2019)

It is not good for taxpayers that nurses and midwives are on picket lines. Has...
