Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (18 Feb 2021)

Alan Kelly: I used to believe the Departments of Justice and Health were the most dysfunctional in government for a number of years but the Department of Education has come up on the outside and taken that mantle.

Alan Kelly: I have two points. Will the Tánaiste take on board the request of the Labour Party for both sets of students to have oral and practical examinations?

I really do not have an issue with the Tánaiste...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (24 Feb 2021)

Alan Kelly: I wish to raise the strategy announced yesterday on dealing with Covid-19 entitled Covid-19 Resilience & Recovery 2021: The Path Ahead.

It is totally reliant on vaccines. There is no effort...
