They are far too wide in scope and need...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Rental Sector (23 Jul 2020)

Cian O'Callaghan: I thank the Minister for his reply. He mentioned in that reply that he is looking at incentives, cost rental and different measures.

I do not think there is any rationale for a four-year cut-off point, after which one is...

This debate and discussion on the negotiations over the weekend are fundamentally about what vision we want for Europe and the European Union.
