Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed) - Other Questions: Garda Strength (22 Jun 2016)

Questions on Proposed Legislation (22 Jun 2016)

Eugene Murphy: Will the Tánaiste clarify the situation regarding a policy that was vigorously pursued by the last Government, of which she was a senior member, on the reconfiguration of library services?

Questions on Proposed Legislation (22 Jun 2016)

Eugene Murphy: The question is whether the Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht, Deputy Humphreys, who I know is in the Chamber, will reconsider the policy.
