Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Transport Infrastructure Ireland Projects and Related Issues: Discussion (6 Apr 2022)

I have seen it myself in one country. I was driving by night, and as I reached a certain...

Cathal Crowe: Thousands of people depend on farming in Ireland, including the 6,000 farms in my own county of Clare.
