Ceisteanna (Atógáil) - Questions (Resumed): European Council Meetings (3 Apr 2019)

Micheál Martin: On 5 March, I pressed the Taoiseach to detail the level of business preparedness for a no-deal Brexit on 29 March. He said at the time that he had the details and would provide them but for the fact that we were running out of time.

Although...

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (3 Apr 2019)

Micheál Martin: I have looked at my contribution in the House on 1 May 2018. In keeping with the Taoiseach's approach from time to time, he quoted very selectively from that contribution and suggested that I attacked people and so on.

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (3 Apr 2019)

Micheál Martin: The Taoiseach cannot accept that and then turn on those people and dismiss them.

The Government panicked. The decision...

More than 1 million women aged between 25 and 60 years were screened in its first ten years. The participation rate is close to 80%, which is on a...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (3 Apr 2019)

Micheál Martin: I put it to the Taoiseach that he and the Minister have been in denial and that the Minister has not been upfront with this House. He needs to correct the record.
