Questions on Proposed Legislation (13 Dec 2016)

Micheál Martin: A Cheann Comhairle, it seems to be extraordinarily chilly in the Chamber. I hold the view maybe it was to prevent Members from coming in in their T-shirts or something like that.

There is also a big shortage at preschool level but I am concentrating on post-primary level. The Taoiseach said it is up to schools to decide but that is what I am asking him to end. It can no longer be left to...
