Imelda Munster: It was just about getting an update. There were recommendations from the advisory group, and that included the number completed in the fourth quarter of last year.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (27 Jan 2022)

Imelda Munster: I agree with the suggestion that we should not have to write to request this information. As the Chair said, it is a battle a day to try to get the information.

Cost of Living: Motion [Private Members] (26 Jan 2022)

Imelda Munster: We are emerging from a pandemic and walking straight into the teeth of a cost-of-living crisis. We have among the highest costs for housing, childcare and energy in Europe.
