European Union (Common Fisheries Policy) (Point System) Regulations 2020 (S.I. No. 318 of 2020): Motion [Private Members] (29 Sep 2020)

Thomas Pringle: I pay tribute to Sinn Féin for bringing forward this motion. It is certainly doing what it is designed to do, which is basically to put Fianna Fáil in the spotlight given what the party and the Taoiseach have actually done. There has been much speculation of what his motivation was and so on. Unfortunately, I believe his motivation was partly to protect the Minister. If the...

It is not about visitor restrictions or visitors attending maternity...

Protecting Jobs and Supporting Business: Statements (16 Sep 2020)
