Credit Union Sector Report: Motion (8 Mar 2018)

Seán Sherlock: This is a timely and important review of the credit union sector, a sector which has served the people of Ireland well and which continues to deliver excellent services in an ethical manner in communities from which the banking sector, one could argue, is existing.

United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities: Motion (7 Mar 2018)

Seán Sherlock: Tonight, there will be people feeling that there is still a long way to go.
