Seanad: Judicial Appointments Commission Bill 2017: Committee Stage (Resumed) (19 Dec 2018)

Charles Flanagan: ...by way of invitation with particular persons. I do not see it working. The most important point to make by way of reply to Senators is that I do not see it as being consistent with the basic tenet of openness and transparency which the Bill espouses.

The protection offered if this amendment were accepted would provide support to infants...

Decisions regarding patient...

Seanad: Brexit: Motion (22 Nov 2018)

Niall Ó Donnghaile: ...of this debate. I want to respond - not in a defensive way, but because it is important to get certain points on the record - to a number of points raised by Senator Ned O'Sullivan in his contribution.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs: Task Force Report on Subsidiarity, Proportionality and Doing Less More Efficiently: Discussion (3 Oct 2018)

Neale Richmond: ...institutions for the past 13 years. I have been to so many events where someone would get up and start talking about it and one would see the room collectively go to sleep.
