I have to be somewhere at 11 a.m. This has been informative and interesting. A certain amount of...

LGBTQI+ Equality: Statements (20 Jun 2023)

He might not be the happiest man in the House though as earlier on I could have sworn I saw the Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science skating down the corridor with a copy of The Irish Timestucked under his arm whistling a tune and polishing a piece of cutlery, and I do not think...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (15 Jun 2023)

Mick Barry: It is stacked pretty high. We would welcome genuine independent verification of that speakers' list. I believe it will show that the figures we have put forward are pretty damned accurate. Certainly, it will show that this is far from an even debate.

Mick Barry: The Tánaiste can rant and rave all he likes. The point is this. He mentioned Roger Cole, who is with the Peace and Neutrality Alliance. A representative of one NGO has been chosen to speak. I challenge the Tánaiste to name one, two or three people from the long list he has in front of him who will present an alternative point of view in a broad sense.
