On Friday last at 3.22 p.m. I received an email from An Post confirming that it had moved the post office and that it was sending me the notice that it had already issued to the local media. This is an awful way to treat members of the public and their elected representatives. The post office was in this...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (9 May 2019)

Seán Fleming: That is up to the members but I do not think we can produce and publish it before the local and European elections.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (9 May 2019)

Seán Fleming: I concur with Deputy Cullinane's views. It is good to see this happen and nice to know that not everybody sings from the one hymn sheet. It is also good to see one line Department challenging another. That is useful and it is good that this information has been published.
