- Ceisteanna - Questions: EU Meetings (8 Nov 2017)
Micheál Martin: I do not buy that entirely, to be frank. We must be very clear in terms of that relationship, particularly in light of the Taoiseach's comments. I know the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, Mr. Brokenshire, is not the final authority on Brexit within the British Government but his comments when visiting Brussels on Monday were quite negative. He stated the British Government does...
- Ceisteanna - Questions: EU Meetings (8 Nov 2017)
Micheál Martin: It depends what momentum we are talking about, given the position of the British Government and what is happening there.

- Ceisteanna - Questions: EU Meetings (8 Nov 2017)
Micheál Martin: We can all agree that the Catalonian situation has escalated because of a failure of both sides to engage meaningfully.

- Questions on Promised Legislation (8 Nov 2017)
Micheál Martin: In the programme for Government, there is a clear commitment to reduce emergency department overcrowding and numbers coming into hospitals as well as to expand hospital capacity. Will the Taoiseach outline his response to the fact that in October there were 8,903 patients admitted for care for whom there was no inpatient bed? That is a 15% increase when compared to October 2016. In the...
