Anniversary of the Good Friday Agreement: Statements (26 Apr 2023)

Michael Healy-Rae: I say a heartfelt thanks again to all the people who worked so diligently from all political parties and none.

Michael Healy-Rae: I am glad to put on the record that I have been providing accommodation to families and others for many years, throughout all my life.
