Other Questions: IDA Site Visits (23 Mar 2017)

Niamh Smyth: I am going to read out some figures to the Minister regarding IDA visits to Cavan and Monaghan from 2012 to 2016. I have to read them into the record because they are so appalling.

That work is wonderful, however we are having a brain drain out of our two counties. The skilled jobs are just...

Other Questions: Road Projects (22 Mar 2017)

Niamh Smyth: The Minister stated that it is a little early to say what will be the impact on the Border region.

Topical Issue Debate: Social Welfare Schemes (21 Mar 2017)

Niamh Smyth: I thank the Minister of State and I hope the commitment is there to strengthen and enhance the schemes and that there will be no reduction in them.

It really has been the more urban areas which have been affected by it. Rural areas...
