Child Homelessness: Statements (15 Dec 2017)

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: I had prepared a script but I am going to leave it to one side. Deputy Munster and Deputy Casey have very eloquently illustrated the reality.

Order of Business (12 Dec 2017)

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: Last night's "Prime Time" programme was shocking in a number of respects.

The inconsistencies and discrepancies in sentencing and the approaches taken by judges were trends. In the...

On the previous...
