Withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union (Consequential Provisions) Bill 2019: Committee Stage (5 Mar 2019)

Maurice Quinlivan: If I was not sure about pressing amendment No. 31 before, I am sure after the Minister's response. It was underwhelming.

Ceisteanna - Questions - Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Oireachtas Joint Committee Recommendations (7 Mar 2019)
