Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade: Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals (12 Feb 2014)

Olivia Mitchell: I had questions when I arrived but the presentation was so comprehensive that it left nothing to be said. I am a relatively new member of the committee and I often wondered to what extent we had an input into how the money we gave to Europe was spent on aid. I was surprised it is such a significant figure. In the overall context it may not be huge but it is a big lump out of our total...

County Enterprise Boards (Dissolution) Bill 2013 [Seanad]: Second Stage (Resumed) (6 Feb 2014)
