National Maternity Hospital: Statements (12 May 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: There are a lot of men and a lot of suits talking about this, and the Minister well knows it.

I hope that with these increased powers for the...

I thank the Deputies for bringing this legislation forward. It is very clear we will not tackle poverty unless we...
