- Ceisteanna (Atógáil) - Questions (Resumed): Cabinet Committee Meetings (22 May 2019)
Micheál Martin: The brief visit of President Trump next month appears to have been confirmed this morning. I have been very clear in my party's attitude to President Trump and his policies. However, the US is a country with which we have strong relations and connections. It is correct for the Taoiseach to meet him should President Trump wish to visit here. I find it ironic that people who have no trouble...
- Ceisteanna (Atógáil) - Questions (Resumed): Cabinet Committee Meetings (22 May 2019)
Micheál Martin: I thank the Taoiseach for his reply. In recent months, it has become clear that the system of Cabinet committees has been almost completely sidelined. Even on vital issues such as health and housing, the relevant committees meet infrequently. The Taoiseach has justified this by saying that he prefers to have discussions at Cabinet level. In doing this, he has cut out the entire tier of...
- Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (22 May 2019)
Micheál Martin: It is over a year since the CervicalCheck scandal was made public following the case that Vicky Phelan took to the High Court.

The general scheme of the tribunal Bill was published this month, but...

- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (22 May 2019)
Micheál Martin: This is all very unsatisfactory. All of this has all been dragged from the Taoiseach over the past number of weeks and he has been less than transparent on it. He cannot go on being as detached as he is. A former Minister who was responsible for this project and this tender met the preferred bidder on a number of occasions.
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (22 May 2019)
Micheál Martin: We were led to believe they were all innocent dinners or personal lunches, but they were not. The Taoiseach needs to come off it. He cannot stand up here as Taoiseach of this country and say that no one in the current Government is involved. For God's sake, Deputy Naughten was a former Minister in the Taoiseach's Government, and the Taoiseach still depends on him for support. David...
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (22 May 2019)
Micheál Martin: The Minister's Department toldThe Sunday Timestwo weeks ago in two series of articles that McCourt Global was the financial underpinner of this project, but McCourt Global has now disappeared. The Government is confusing the picture deliberately at this stage. What is the Taoiseach hiding in respect of the relationships between GMC, Tetrad, and McCourt Global? He said, and he may correct...
