- Other Questions: Garda Strength (16 Dec 2016)
David Cullinane: One of the consequences of not having enough officers in each division is that the Garda must make choices in allocating resources. The Tánaiste will be aware that the numbers in the drugs units dropped from 2010 right up to this year: in one division in Cork from 34 to 22; in another division in Cork from 32 to 21; in Waterford from 15 to five, which is a reduction of 66%; and in...

- Planning and Development (Housing) and Residential Tenancies Bill 2016: Report Stage (15 Dec 2016)
David Cullinane: I was chastised in the past. I do not mind being interrupted.

- Topical Issue Debate: Schools Building Projects Status (14 Dec 2016)
David Cullinane: I welcome the Minister's reply. I wonder about the timelines involved. I received this letter from the school on 12 December, and it does not mention that the Department got back in contact with the school to let it know that it could re-tender.
