Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Schools Building Projects (8 May 2019)

Ruth Coppinger: My question is about the ongoing lack of a secondary school in Dublin 7 and Ashtown whereby people can choose to send their children to a school that is not segregated by gender or religion.

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (8 May 2019)

Ruth Coppinger: The Minister said the Government went through every single option. Ninety percent of the cost of this would be borne by the State. This is not a rural versus urban issue, as some Deputies are trying to suggest in the local election campaign.

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (8 May 2019)

Ruth Coppinger: It is not in the interest of anybody in an urban area that other people do not have broadband. Rural projects will suffer and be wiped out because of this.

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (8 May 2019)

I will use the example of a family who will now be unable to get any insulation or protection from noise because of votes that may take place here today. This family is extremely disappointed and demoralised and will have lost all faith in the political system if...
