Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Food Industry (11 Jul 2023)

Peadar Tóibín: Many farmers are seriously concerned that meat, which is being exported from Ireland and stamped with the Irish logo and brand, is not actually Irish meat at all.

All of that is categorised as...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: An Garda Síochána (11 Jul 2023)

Peadar Tóibín: In fairness, gardaí do not want the Minister's commendation; they want support. That is what they want every day.

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: An Garda Síochána (11 Jul 2023)
