Ceisteanna Eile (Atógáil) - Other Questions (Resumed): Middle East (1 Apr 2025)

Matt Carthy: To be clear, my question relates to the illegal Israeli settlements, so there is no need to make any distinction. The ICJ ruling is very clear.

Will services also be included in the ambition of the Bill? I ask the Minister for an answer to that...

Ceisteanna Eile (Atógáil) - Other Questions (Resumed): Dublin-Monaghan Bombings (1 Apr 2025)

Support for Householders, Businesses and Farmers Affected by Storm Éowyn: Motion [Private Members] (1 Apr 2025)

Support for Householders, Businesses and Farmers Affected by Storm Éowyn: Motion [Private Members] (1 Apr 2025)

Matt Carthy: That is what the Department is saying, whether I am saying it or not. That is what happened to tens of thousands who received letters of refusal. A lot of people were incredibly taken aback. This is designed as a hardship alleviation scheme rather than a compensation scheme. 9 o’clock That language has been used by the Minister. Why then are so many people being forced to...
