Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (21 May 2024)

Seán Canney: I will say two things about what the Taoiseach said: people matter and families matter. It is important that in any rules, regulations, guidelines or anything like that we bring in, that our people have got to be at the top of the agenda.

European Union Migration and Asylum Pact: Motion [Private Members] (1 May 2024)

Seán Canney: I welcome the opportunity to speak on what is a very emotive subject whether people are directly affected by it or not. One of the issues that has manifested in recent days is the total confusion in the Government about numbers and percentages.

Supports for Survivors of Residential Institutional Abuse Bill 2024: Second Stage (Resumed) (30 Apr 2024)
