Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (19 Sep 2019)

Dara Calleary: Yesterday morning's news of an attack on Mr. Kevin Lunney should stop all of us in our tracks.

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (19 Sep 2019)

Dara Calleary: I welcome the Tánaiste's condemnation of the incident and I agree with his language. The difficulty is that this is the culmination of a number of attacks that have gone on for two years, including a previous attack on Mr. Lunney when he had his nose broken. Another executive had boiling water thrown in his face. As I said, there seems to be complacency in seeing through the...

Agriculture: Motion [Private Members] (18 Sep 2019)

Ceisteanna (Atógáil) - Questions (Resumed): British-Irish Council (18 Sep 2019)

Dara Calleary: I was reflecting on the change of personnel since the meeting. Has the Taoiseach discussed the British-Irish Council in his conversations with the new British Prime Minister, Boris Johnson?
