This...

Travellers' Rights: Motion [Private Members] (3 Nov 2015)

Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin: The tragic loss of life in the Carrickmines fire has brought a renewed focus on the issue of Travellers' rights.

While examples of discrimination and...

Can she give us some sense of the Government's...

Leaders' Questions (22 Oct 2015)

Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin: With respect, I came to the Chamber to discuss nursing in a sensible and fair manner. The Tánaiste is now peddling a mistruth. Our measures provided for taking 100,000 people out of the universal social charge net. The Government's measures have only provided for removing 43,000 from the USC net. Under our submission, more would have been allocated to reducing the impact of USC than...

Leaders' Questions (22 Oct 2015)

Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin: Nobody knows better than I the complexity of all of the issues involved in this. It is not just a matter of delayed discharges.
