Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (17 Nov 2022)

Paul McAuliffe: There are issues with the word, "test". When the courts are determining between a contract of service or a contract for services, they use a number of tests such as integration and control tests. That is separate from the use of the word "test" in the example that we have used.

In the case of those coming from Ukraine, they are...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Housing Provision (15 Nov 2022)

Paul McAuliffe: I welcome the Taoiseach's answer.

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Cycling Facilities (10 Nov 2022)

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Cycling Facilities (10 Nov 2022)

Paul McAuliffe: The Minister is right. I served for ten years on Dublin City Council and I am passionate about bike sharing because I saw how Dublin Bikes worked and how much the people of the city love it.
