Róisín Shortall: I am on the clock. Paul Cullen of The Irish Timeswent to a lot of trouble to get his hands on this report. He had to go through the entire freedom of information process and appeals. It was finally released to him. If a report is released under freedom of information, it should be publicly available to anybody who requests it.

Róisín Shortall: Thanks for that. I have one further question about what is happening in relation to students in the University of Limerick, UL, and why they cannot get clinical placements in the NAS.

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (21 Feb 2023)

Róisín Shortall: The cost-of-living package the Cabinet agreed earlier is wholly inadequate. It goes nowhere near meeting the desperate needs of the many workers and families who are really struggling to keep their heads above water. Once again, the Government's entire focus is on once-off measures. People need to know how they will pay their soaring bills not just this week or next week, but next month...
