- Defamation (Amendment) Bill 2024: Committee Stage (30 Apr 2025)
Matt Carthy: Yes, the definition of a "periodical". It is a small point but I omitted to talk about it when we were skipping through section 3 and I want to put it on the record in case we table an amendment at a later stage.

Sinn Féin will be supporting this opt-in as we...

Matt Carthy: The consequences of Government failures on housing are well rehearsed. We have record rents, record homelessness and house prices going up every month, pushing more and more families and workers to the point where homeownership is but a pipe dream.
