Other Questions: Garda Resources (5 Jul 2018)

Jim O'Callaghan: The British Prime Minister has made many positive statements about keeping the Irish Border fully open.

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Sexual Offences Data (5 Jul 2018)

It could be because there is greater public confidence and people, particularly women, are coming forward to make complaints.
