Catherine Connolly: Events have overtaken us. My question relates to the publication of the policy document for the islands. Well done and congratulations to the Minister because that document has finally been published. However, it was not initially available in Irish, although it is at this stage.

Retained Fire Services: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (13 Jun 2023)

That is lovely and I agree...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (13 Jun 2023)

Catherine Connolly: Once again, I raise the Criminal Law (Sexual Offences) Act that was passed by the House six years ago and that came into operation in March 2017. The Government is legally obliged to carry out a review of section 4 of that legislation. It was legally obliged to carry out that review within three years, which would have been March 2020. Three years and three months later, there is no sign...
