In a research paper entitled, Tackling anti-social behaviour: international problems, indigenous solutions, Jacinta Cunneen, a research...

Seanad: Order of Business (23 Oct 2014)

Denis Landy: There is an undercurrent, which means that there is a need for legislators to look at the issue.

Seanad: Order of Business (22 Oct 2014)

Denis Landy: The issue is that the State broadcaster, RTE, is refusing to give the people of Ireland information on our national games. It is the national broadcaster which is subsidised by taxpayers, yet for three years in a row it has tried to prevent ordinary people from finding out what is happening in our national games.
