Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Fuel Prices (10 Apr 2024)

Marian Harkin: Yes. Thank you, a Cheann Comhairle. I am glad to hear that the Minister will keep it under review but we need to hear more than that because for filling stations along the Border, as I said, by 9 October the differential will be 15 cent per litre.

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Fuel Prices (10 Apr 2024)

Taoiseach a Ainmniú - Nomination of Taoiseach (9 Apr 2024)

Marian Harkin: I cannot vote for the Minister, Deputy Harris, as Taoiseach, because four years of this Government and 13 years of Fine Gael in government have not delivered for the north west.
