Questions on Proposed Legislation (7 Dec 2016)

Michael Healy-Rae: The Taoiseach and the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine might be aware that in the coming days the Revenue Commissioners will write again to struggling farmers on patronage shares and this time demand specific amounts of money. That is outrageous. I know that the Minister is acutely aware of the issue, but the Government should intervene and explain to Revenue that what it is...

Leaders' Questions (7 Dec 2016)

Michael Healy-Rae: I was delighted that Fitzgerald Stadium in Killarney was chosen as one of the stadiums proposed to host the games should Ireland's bid for the 2023 Rugby World Cup be successful. People cannot watch any game in Killarney, however, if they are backed up in traffic on the N22.
