Maurice Quinlivan: Would anybody else like to contribute? Nobody else seems to have indicated.

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (20 Jan 2021)

I do not expect the Taoiseach to know about every single road across the State, but in my constituency of Limerick there is a road of which he should be aware of, namely, the Coonagh to Knockalisheen road. I ask the Taoiseach to...

Twice so far in 2021 we have had 66 patients being treated on...
