I want to point out that the Minister, Deputy Stephen Donnelly, did commit to convening a stakeholder group to see what can be done and, certainly, to stamp out the risks associated with Epilim. It is vital that the stakeholder group be...

Financial Resolutions 2021 - Financial Resolution No. 2: General (Resumed) (13 Oct 2021)

Carol Nolan: We heard from many Government Deputies in the Chamber last night. Shamefully, some rural Deputies were lauding the great budget and, as they termed them, the great climate action measures contained in it.

Is that on the cards within the Department or is it a done deal that the responsible persons will be shut out such that we will see job losses unnecessarily? Is...

I have seen this first-hand as a school principal, particularly the preparation by the preschools and...
