Ceisteanna - Questions: Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (13 Feb 2018)

Brendan Howlin: I tabled a question about the meeting with the Estonian Prime Minister and prepared my supplementaries on that basis.

It is really not a good way to do that. I am profoundly concerned about the viability of...

Brendan Howlin: I will pick up on the point made by Deputy Eoin Ó Broin on the cyberattack by rogue hackers which infected a number of State agency systems, apparently mining for cryptocurrencies. I do not know how it is done, but I am sure somebody does. The impact is simply the latest manifestation of the vulnerability of State's Internet systems to external attack. Obviously, the data held by...

Questions on Promised Legislation (8 Feb 2018)

Brendan Howlin: The programme for Government includes a commitment to review the school transport scheme, but 90% of services in the scheme are operated by private companies contracted by Bus Éireann. That is well over 1,000 companies carrying 100,000 children. Thankfully and mercifully, no one was killed in the school bus accident yesterday in Limerick. Buses undergo annual roadworthiness tests, and...

At the time, the Taoiseach described the commitment as politically bulletproof, rock solid and cast iron. However, efforts by the EU to put a...
