The core dysfunction in the Dublin-London relationship in recent years has been that there have been many meetings but no concrete outcome. The...
- Questions on Promised Legislation (21 Jun 2017)
Micheál Martin: The Technological Universities Bill, which was before the last Dáil and which is a critical piece of legislation in regard to the future of the institutes of technology, has been languishing for over 12 months now, with absolutely no progress in terms of bringing it to this House and having it passed.

- Leaders' Questions (21 Jun 2017)
Micheál Martin: It was disingenuous. That is what the Taoiseach was at and he should not have done it. The Taoiseach should be much more straight about it. He should come clean, say this was badly handled and that it circumvented the law. That would end all of this.

I made it clear to the Taoiseach, as I did last week in the House. I...
