Questions on Promised Legislation (22 Mar 2017)

Michael Moynihan: This decision is horrendous. I compliment Deputy Thomas Byrne for highlighting it.

Questions on Promised Legislation (29 Mar 2017)

Leaders' Questions (30 Mar 2017)

Michael Moynihan: Yesterday was the day the British Government finally, formally and officially triggered the signing of Brexit some nine months after the referendum in June.

It has been described in some of the newspapers this morning as not just a storm...

Leaders' Questions (30 Mar 2017)

Topical Issue Debate: Bus Éireann (4 Apr 2017)
