National Maternity Services: Motion [Private Members] (17 May 2022)

Joan Collins: I thank Sinn Féin for introducing this Private Members' motion. I absolutely support it and agree with what it states.

This tactic is being used increasingly by the...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Special Educational Needs (12 May 2022)

Joan Collins: I am involved in and support the Dublin 12 campaign for ASD inclusion. The Minister of State has met them and they are parents who are concerned about their children.

They made the point to me...
