Implications of Brexit for Irish Ports: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (11 Jul 2018)

Robert Troy: I thank all the Members who have contributed to this debate this evening. Some contributions have been more useful than others. In their contributions, the Sinn Féin Members seemed to think that Private Members' motions were a waste of time. I must assume that in the next session, they will not put forward any Private Members' motions themselves. This motion calls on the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Proposals for Second Runway at Dublin Airport and Noise Regulation Legislation: Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport (11 Jul 2018)
