- Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (18 Jan 2024)
Pearse Doherty: The Minister of State, Deputy Butler, is in the Chamber and she may want to take this question. I raise the important and sensitive issue of the closure of the Letterkenny-based child and adolescent counselling service. It is the only one in our county and it is a vital amenity that provides services right across the county, not just in Letterkenny but elsewhere. Some 120 clients avail of...

Pearse Doherty: Faoin Rialtas seo, níl dabht ar bith ach go leanfaidh creach-chistí ar aghaidh ag ceannach tithe teaghlaigh atá ag teastáil ó cheannaitheoirí tí atá ag streachailt. Caithfimid stop a chur leis seo. Tá moladh curtha os comhair na Dála ag Sinn Féin chun deireadh a chur leis seo ach tá an Rialtas ag diúltú agus ag cur in...
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (18 Jan 2024)
Pearse Doherty: The Minister can huff and puff all he wants. A Belcamp Manor is happening every month under his watch. He knows it. The figures stand over exactly what I said.

Many of them had to get on planes because of what his party did in the housing crisis. He sits there with a brass neck and tries to lecture...
