Special Education School Places: Motion [Private Members] (17 Sep 2025)

Paul Murphy: What we have had tonight from the Government is a display of gaslighting par excellence. It is incredible and really cynical, because the audience is not the children who are affected. It is not the parents in the Gallery because the Minister of State knows they know that a school place does not necessarily equal a school place. The audience is the public who are concerned and think it is...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (17 Sep 2025)

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (17 Sep 2025)

They did so because they appalled at the failure of Simon Harris to meet...
