Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (15 Sep 2020)

Paul Murphy: I will raise two matters with the Taoiseach. 4 o’clock The first pertains to the redundancy law which was extended today.

Instead these workers are being left in limbo....

Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (15 Sep 2020)

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Garda Reform (10 Sep 2020)
