Policing, Security and Community Safety Bill 2023: Second Stage (Resumed) (2 Mar 2023)

I want to join with other Deputies in acknowledging and condemning the attack on Detective Chief Inspector John Caldwell of the PSNI last week.

Credit Union (Amendment) Bill 2022 [Seanad]: Second Stage (Resumed) (2 Mar 2023)

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: I welcome the opportunity to speak on this Bill. I find myself in agreement with much of what Deputy Shortall has said. We have long been proponents in the Green Party of a public banking model. We have to realise that retail banking does a particular job and is structured in a particular way, but the model it follows is profit-driven, as I think the banks would acknowledge. It may not be...
