Aindrias Moynihan: Bhí roinnt mhaith plé againn cúpla seachtain ó shin mar gheall ar ann litriúcháin i gcomhair na hainmneacha, an síneadh fada agus a leithéid.

Land Development Agency Bill 2021: Second Stage (Resumed) (18 Feb 2021)

Aindrias Moynihan: It is an ambition of many people in my area to own their own homes. It is a reasonable and decent ambition. However, it is increasingly difficult for those on ordinary incomes - engineers, teachers, nurses or those who occupy similar roles - to realise that ambition. Not only is it difficult to get a deposit together when renting, but the prices are moving further and further out of reach....

Covid-19 (Agriculture, Food and the Marine): Statements (17 Feb 2021)

Aindrias Moynihan: I would like to draw the Minister's attention to two issues, namely, BVD testing and sheep farmers' concerns about dog attacks.

Walkers are always welcome in the countryside. Walking clubs have worked well and...

Aindrias Moynihan: Baineann an leasú seo le margaíocht ó chomhlachtaí poiblí ionas go mbeidís ag plé le muintir na Gaolainne nuair atá siad ag déanamh fógraíochta agus pé airgead atá siad ag cur chuige sin.

Aindrias Moynihan: Aontaím gur rud bunúsach é go bhfuil ainm duine mar chuid tábhachtach d'aitheantas duine.

Níor chóir go...
