Tommy Broughan: I thank the Minister, but there still seems to be glaring inconsistencies. I mentioned two of the schools in our constituency, St. Joseph's and St. David's. In the case of St. Joseph's, there would be children coming from the adjoining areas of Dublin Central where clearly the model, or the index, would seem to indicate that school should be eligible for DEIS 1. Likewise, in the case of...

Other Questions: Disadvantaged Status (1 Mar 2017)

Is the Minister going to continue...

Topical Issue Debate: Industrial Disputes (28 Feb 2017)

Tommy Broughan: The areas with many low paid and casual workers including the retail sector. What steps, if any, has the Department, or other Departments involved, taken to insist on minimum standards and minimum conditions?

Topical Issue Debate: Industrial Disputes (28 Feb 2017)

Tommy Broughan: This past few weeks we have seen abuse by an enormous economic power, the Tesco organisation. It was said that in Britain £1 in £8 went through its coffers.
