I would appreciate it if the Minister could give me an update on it today.

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Road Projects (5 Oct 2023)

Robert Troy: This route is committed to as part of the NDP. It is a named route, so we need to see it progress.

School Transport 2023-2024: Statements (3 Oct 2023)

Robert Troy: I welcome the opportunity to contribute to this debate. School transport, as many have said, is a critical service, particularly in rural constituencies and yet still, every year, as the previous speaker has said, we are in here in September or even October talking about the shortcomings of this critical scheme. Last year, there was a review promised. That review was promised to be...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying: Ethics of End-of-Life Care: Discussion (3 Oct 2023)

Dr. McKeown O'Donovan talked about autonomy and the ability to decide what to do with one's...

I am one who is coming to this debate totally undecided about what way I will...
