United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities: Motion (7 Mar 2018)

Carol Nolan: The Minister of State should have thought of it. I want it on the record that I think it is shameful. I wish to share time with Deputies Funchion, Buckley and Brady.

Today is a bittersweet achievement, as we convene...

Questions on Promised Legislation (7 Mar 2018)

Carol Nolan: On the issue of rural communities being left behind, there will be a lot more damage done to our roads and I ask for an emergency fund to be put in place.

It makes a joke and mockery of road safety. I commend the...

An Ghaeilge: Ráitis - Irish Language: Statements (6 Mar 2018)

Carol Nolan: Tá mé lánsásta labhairt faoin topaic seo inniu. D'fhás mé suas i dteach ina raibh meas ar an teanga Gaeilge, cé nár fhás mé suas sa Ghaeltacht nó aon rud mar sin. Ceapaim go bhfuil meas ar an nGaeilge fíorthábhachtach, áfach, agus ní dóigh liom go bhfuil go leor meas ann sa chóras oideachais faoi...

Topical Issue Debate: National Planning Framework (6 Mar 2018)

Carol Nolan: I thank the Minister of State for his response but I am very disappointed with it because I feel he is missing the point.

Motor Insurance: Motion [Private Members] (27 Feb 2018)

Carol Nolan: Gabhaim buíochas leis an gCeann Comhairle as ucht an deis chun labhairt ar an topaic seo. I commend the Rural Independent Group. As Deputy O'Brien outlined, we will put forward an amendment to the motion. I and many other Deputies from all parties spoke strongly on this issue almost two years ago. I find it unbelievable that we are back here again saying the very same thing. The...
