Vote 6 - Office of the Chief State Solicitor (Revised) (28 Feb 2019) John McGuinness: It should be done given the cost involved. The Charleton tribunal's inquiry was very efficient and we can learn from it. I encourage the Taoiseach, on the basis of value for money to the taxpayer, to carry out such an analysis.

Has that not provided enough of a scoping inquiry and enough information to give the Taoiseach an idea of what is required? I am talking about respect for the Dáil vote.

Vote 6 - Office of the Chief State Solicitor (Revised) (28 Feb 2019) John McGuinness: I will not pursue the matter further.

Both these statements should be compared with the issues of housing, homelessness and the activities of vulture funds in this country. The statements are fine but, as for actions, those who are caught up in issues pertaining to...

The banks are now as aggressive and as arrogant as they were during the time of the crash and afterwards. I am talking about people who want to pay and want to...

One is affordable childcare in the community delivered through family resource centres in the main. They are dealing with Pobal, and an issue is now emerging across counties. A new group has been formed on the basis that there is not enough flexibility within the oversight of Pobal oversight to allow for the various social...
