Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed) - Priority Questions: Garda Data (6 Feb 2018)

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: The possibility that homicides were misclassified is of itself worrying and deeply unsettling. No crime is more serious than the taking of a life.

It is potentially scandalous if found to be the case. There has been...

Topical Issue Debate: Hospital Staff (1 Feb 2018)

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: The Minister of State referred to consultation. It seems extraordinary that the Department is asserting that there was consultation with the unions on staffing figures and yet the situation has proceeded to a work to rule and now to the Workplace Relations Commission.

Childcare Support Bill 2017: Second Stage (31 Jan 2018)
