Seanad: Commencement Matters: Teagasc Courses (30 May 2018)

Paul Daly: I appreciate the response from the Minister of State. As she stated, Teagasc has full responsibility and the part-time course is treated or seen as adult education.

It would be shameful if one or several young individuals felt because of...

Seanad: Local Property Tax: Motion (30 May 2018)

Paul Daly: I second the motion. I agree wholeheartedly with everything Senator Horkan said. As the Minister of State comes from an agricultural background, I am sure he will concur with this.
