Why does he not admit the truth? When the Tánaiste was Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport in the Fine...
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (6 May 2021)
Richard Boyd Barrett: What happened ten years ago is important because some of us stood up in this House at the time and begged the then Government not to sell off the NAMA portfolio but instead to use it for social and affordable housing.
