Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Road Projects Status (26 Jun 2014)

Charlie McConalogue: The Minister has just outlined the decrease there has been in the roads capital budget.

Beef Industry: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (25 Jun 2014)

Charlie McConalogue: It has been recommended, and I believe it would be a worthwhile step.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection: Possible Reconfiguration of Schools: Archdiocese of Dublin (25 Jun 2014)

Charlie McConalogue: Yes. Ms McDonagh referred to that issue in her contribution. The point I was asking for clarification on was where the parents and community come into the process. It seems that they enter the process quite late. I was making the point that it would be important to involve them at the very early stages, before a pathway is agreed at board of management level or patronage level.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection: Possible Reconfiguration of Schools: Archdiocese of Dublin (25 Jun 2014)
