Public Transport: Motion [Private Members] (25 Oct 2022)

Mattie McGrath: We have two and a half minutes each. Gabhaim buíochas leis an gCathaoirleach Gníomhach agus tá an ceart aige i gcónaí. I compliment Sinn Féin on this motion.

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Road Network (25 Oct 2022)

We argued, as did farmers who knew the area and its topography, but it did not listen. Now we have a problem because it will not do maintenance. It cannot just develop a project. People cannot just build a house and forget to...
