Post-European Council Meeting: Statements (3 Nov 2021)

Chris Andrews: The recent allegations against six civil society advocacy organisations in Palestine are a result of apartheid Israel's failure to challenge the work of the organisations on the basis of law and evidence.

Credit Union (Amendment) Bill 2021: Second Stage [Private Members] (3 Nov 2021)

Chris Andrews: I commend Deputy Harkin on her work in introducing this Bill on credit unions. I also commend the members of credit unions on the work they have done in the community over the past 60 years. They have witnessed high levels of unemployment, emigration and a city in which poor housing is rampant but they have kept communities together. As the Minister of State with responsibility for credit...

Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Governance in Irish Athletic Boxing Association: Discussion (3 Nov 2021)

Chris Andrews: All right. As a result of a complaint that was made by the president, there was a counter-complaint and now here we are before the committee.

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (2 Nov 2021)

Chris Andrews: I wish to raise the issue of the updated guidance on games issued by Sport Ireland on 28 October. Last weekend alone, these guidelines created severe issues for volunteers in basketball and other indoor sports.
