Brendan Howlin: I thank the Taoiseach for his answer. Has he completed the staffing of the strategic communications unit? The last answer he provided for us said that there were 14 people working in it. Who in that unit, or elsewhere in the Department, is responsible for writing and placing the information advertisements in local papers this week following up on the national development plan? I see there...

However, instead of doing the hard work itself, it now appears to be outsourcing that difficult job to get that off its balance sheet. The Taoiseach is right. It has not identified...
- Leaders' Questions (20 Feb 2018)
Brendan Howlin: Maybe he is too busy now fixing the delays in the Luas. Fianna Fáil is rightly raising the issue of regulation, but legislation will only go so far. The laws were changed in 2015 to ensure that companies that manage loans are regulated, but regulation is not the main issue. That focus misses the point. Based on European Central Bank and Single Supervisory Mechanism, SSM, rules,...
