Clare Daly: I hand it to the Taoiseach, who has demonstrated by his answer that he has no more interest in being the leader of a sovereign nation than I thought he had. He has patently failed to address any of the issues I raised, including the illegal use of Shannon Airport by the US military, and there is concrete evidence that what exists is not what the Tánaiste has told us on repeated...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Tourism Projects Funding (18 Sep 2013)

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Tourism Projects Funding (18 Sep 2013)

Clare Daly: That was short and not very sweet. I am not sure why the Minister even agreed to answer the question, given that it was a non-answer. The reality is that this is a potentially important facility, given that there is an opportunity to develop a maritime museum - we do not we have one - and to proactively assist a not-for-profit organisation that has done enormously well in rehabilitating and...
