We heard from representatives of the Chiropractic Association of Ireland...

Community Employment Pension Scheme: Motion [Private Members] (24 Apr 2018)

Louise O'Reilly: I welcome the CE supervisors and assistant supervisors who are here with us. I commend them all for their patience.

It is the last place to which one goes. It should be the place where, if one wins, one...
