Peter Fitzpatrick: On a point of order, there are many Deputies here belonging to different groups. I thought there was a maximum of two allowed per party.

Covid-19 (Local Government): Statements (27 May 2020)

Peter Fitzpatrick: Louth has probably the two biggest towns in Ireland, Dundalk and Drogheda. There are also big towns such as Ardee and Carlingford.
