Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Homeless Accommodation (13 Feb 2024)

Maurice Quinlivan: I thank the Minister of State for the reply. I know he did not write it and it did not come from his Department but what he has just read out to me is absolutely scandalous.

Reform of the Television Licence Fee Model: Motion [Private Members] (13 Feb 2024)

Maurice Quinlivan: Trust and confidence in RTÉ and the TV licence model is at a low ebb and has been for a long time.

Committee on Public Petitions: Decisions on Public Petitions Received (8 Feb 2024)

Maurice Quinlivan: I know personally, from raising Topical Issues with the Minister for Health on this issue since I was elected to the Dáil, the Minister does not turn up.

I would not be raising this...
