Joe O'Reilly: I welcome the witnesses. I endorse what my colleague, Senator Gallagher, said about the importance of ensuring the Northern economy benefits from every opportunity presented now. In that context, it is welcome that there was an increase in North-South trade in January, if I understood the presentation correctly. That is a good news story and hopefully it will continue. I turn to the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: Syrian Conflict: Engagement with Non-governmental Organisations (9 Mar 2021)

Joe O'Reilly: I thank the Chairman for the kind introduction and the opportunity to speak.

That is a...

Joe O'Reilly: The Chairman's point that the scheme, while wonderful, indicates shortcomings and inadequacies in our health service that need addressing is a given. I congratulate PDFORRA. The scheme is a wonderful bit of self-help and a wonderful initiative. Like Senator Gallagher, I come from an area with a large PDFORRA presence. There is a large PDFORRA membership living in Cavan town and beyond....
