It is not just about the cost of fixing...

Anniversary of the Good Friday Agreement: Statements (26 Apr 2023)

Pádraig Mac Lochlainn: The Good Friday Agreement rightly and deservedly stands apart, is internationally respected and is a milestone in terms of what is possible when people mired in and plagued by conflict not only aspire to peace, but are committed to moving beyond conflict.

Pádraig Mac Lochlainn: This is now the second time that the Minister of State, Deputy Niall Collins, will come in to make a statement on a matter of serious public concern. This is about our planning legislation regarding the sale of lands by local authorities applying to all citizens equally. It could not be more serious.

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Fishing Industry (20 Apr 2023)

Pádraig Mac Lochlainn: I have two points. The inshore sector has been denied access to traditional salmon fisheries for quite a while and has been asked to make a living almost entirely from crab and lobster fisheries. It has been struggling. There is talk that a quota may be introduced around the area of crab. I am aware that studies by the Marine Institute are ongoing. The inshore sector needs a reasonable...
