Order of Business (16 May 2017)

Lisa Chambers: In A Programme for a Partnership Government there are various commitments to funding across many sectors. In that context, I am sure the Taoiseach will agree that the sale of any State asset should realise full and proper value for the people.

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Capital Investment Plan 2016-2021: Dublin Chamber of Commerce (9 May 2017)

Lisa Chambers: I take the points Mr. McGibney is making and I want to see a vibrant capital city. That is vitally important for the entire country but there has to be balance between the regions.

There is a figure I am sure we would be eager to ascertain at some point....

Other Questions: Ambulance Service Response Times (3 May 2017)

Lisa Chambers: I welcome the fact the Minister will look into the issue of ambulances being called when they know they will not get there, which is happening all over the place.
