Equal Participation in Schools Bill 2016: Second Stage [Private Members] (16 May 2017)

Ruth Coppinger: I move: "That the Bill be now read a Second Time."

Questions on Promised Legislation (10 May 2017)

Ruth Coppinger: The Taoiseach promised there would be legislation in regard to the Citizens' Assembly and to abortion, yet the committee that was meant to be established has not yet been convened.
