Michael Ring: I wish to express my view and then I will make a decision whether I will or will not proceed. I am very disappointed. This is the third time I put down a Topical Issue debate and the senior Minister has not come in. People want to be elected to this House, and when they get elected, they want to become Ministers. When they become Ministers, it is like that thing we used to have in the...

Colm Burke: I am taking this on behalf of the Minister for Education.

The major building project for Holy Trinity is to...

The first thing I will do today is write to the Comptroller and Auditor General about why taxpayers' money is going to be wasted. The school has been abandoned in recent years but the Department is going to put taxpayers money into it now. Holy Trinity is the...

- Select Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Microenterprise Loan Fund (Amendment) Bill 2024: Committee Stage (22 May 2024)
Dara Calleary: I am confident that the provisions as outlined in section 13D(2) are quite restrictive. Any proceeding that is "before a court or tribunal" is pretty tightly reined in terms of the words. That is the only thing that the chief executive officer of the day "shall not be required to give an account before an Oireachtas Committee". That would have to be live proceedings before a court or...
