Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Good Friday Agreement (21 Mar 2023)

Aindrias Moynihan: It is vital for the people of Northern Ireland that power sharing be re-established. I am conscious that the DUP has asked for time and space to assess the framework.

What can be done to alleviate...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Good Friday Agreement (21 Mar 2023)

Aindrias Moynihan: The Windsor Framework is very much about Northern Ireland and, in putting it together, it is clear the views of many elected representatives and of those in business and society across Northern Ireland were taken on board.

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Report of the Commission on Taxation and Welfare: Discussion (Resumed) (8 Mar 2023)

Aindrias Moynihan: Before we move on from the issue of home heating, many people do not qualify for social welfare but they need their homes heated as well. To face into a €30,000, €40,000 or €50,000 conversion of the house is out of reach for many households, despite the grants. It is great to focus on those on lower income but there is a whole cohort of people who are not on social...
