We want to get a process in place so that people can work through it. We will write to Mr. Murray about the overall context and also about the Mulvey report, dealing with the concerns of the Irish Coast Guard Volunteers Representative Association....
- Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (5 May 2022)
