Independent External Medical Audit for Children's Health Ireland and National Orthopaedic Hospital Cappagh: Statements (27 May 2025)

Pearse Doherty: When we read the report words kind of fail us.

In that period, the average house price has increased by €200,000 which a huge sum of money for any family.

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (22 May 2025)

Pearse Doherty: I thank the Minister for his response in regard to the existing services for Tory. Obviously, a tender will issue for those services supported by the Department later in the year.
