The protestors today were an orderly and large crowd, but the anguish on their faces said it all.

Danny Healy-Rae: In the house where I was brought up in Kilgarvan, I was taught that when a person gave their word on something, they stood by it.

National Recovery and Resilience Plan: Statements (2 Jun 2021)

Danny Healy-Rae: The big question relates to the delay in the Government making the application to the European Commission under this funding programme in the first place.

They will reopen but the trouble is whether they will be able to stay open. That...
