An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (1 Jun 2021)

Alan Kelly: I want the Taoiseach to give clarity today on what is happening in regard to the freeze on redundancy rights. Workers need clarity on this.

Hundreds of thousands of workers could lose out on payments because they spent time on the PUP. We...

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (27 May 2021)

These are not gotcha questions; they are just to elicit information so that the...

That is reasonable and I have no issue with it. I am concerned, however, about one part of the...

However, the real issue I am raising is based on the UK study and the sequencing that has been done. The UK has much more data than us, as the Minister rightly said. Those in that age...
