An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (16 Apr 2019)

Michael Moynihan: The Taoiseach and his Ministers have given various answers indicating that CE supervisors are not employed by the State.

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: National Broadband Plan (9 Apr 2019)

Michael Moynihan: I have two questions. First, have Government officials met Eir to discuss the issue of inflexibility in areas in which it is currently expanding the broadband network?

In the case of some of the communities it is serving, if...
