- Leaders' Questions (18 Apr 2018)
Micheál Martin: I asked the Taoiseach if he had made inquiries of the Minister. Does he not find it unacceptable that the Minister gave this information to a public relations firm acting on behalf of INM two months before making a public announcement on it?

- Ceisteanna - Questions: Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (17 Apr 2018)
Micheál Martin: Yesterday the Government issued its latest Brexit briefing, which is startling since it seems to be already out of date. The bulletin points to the schedule of meetings in Ireland agreed to for the negotiations. What it does not state is that the schedule is already well behind. The most crucial meetings intended at co-ordinator level were delayed and are no longer due to be separated from...
- Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committee Meetings (17 Apr 2018)
