There are a number of things at issue, the first of which is the abolition of the old borough council in Drogheda. Drogheda is an historical town with a proud tradition and the removal of statutory powers from the borough council was...

Committee on Public Petitions: Business of Joint Committee (27 Feb 2019)

Shane Cassells: Yes. I support the fact that the provision of statistics by the CSO will be informative for Drogheda and many other areas. I agree with the Chairman that the response, while informative and addressed some of the issues at play, did not address the issue of city status.

Vote 34 - Housing, Planning and Local Government (28 Feb 2019)

Shane Cassells: What puzzles me then is how the Rebuilding Ireland Twitter account this past week retweeted @campaignforleo, which is the Taoiseach's political account rather than his departmental account, and the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government, Deputy Eoghan Murphy's political account. I have no problem with retweets where the performance of ministerial duties is concerned, but these...

Vote 34 - Housing, Planning and Local Government (28 Feb 2019)

Shane Cassells: Rebuilding Ireland has a standalone Twitter account. There have been contributions from Deputies this morning on the failings of aspects of any account.
