Pat Casey: I thank the witnesses for their presentations. Coming from a county that is not suffering the effects of mica, I have more or less been observing what has been happening. Hopefully, we will not see it in my county, as going through this is devastating for any family. The most critical information we require will be found in the NSAI’s report on IS 465.

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (1 May 2024)

Pat Casey: I second Senator Malcolm Byrne's proposed amendment to the Order of Business. Given that it is 1 May and that today marks the closing date for the business support grants, it is disappointing to see the level of take-up in this regard.
