Topical Issue Debate: Post Office Network (1 Apr 2015)

Mattie McGrath: The Minister of State is from rural Ireland and he understands. If it was not the intention of the letter, why was it sent? Why were people told to reply via freepost?

Order of Business (1 Apr 2015)

Mattie McGrath: My question concerns the Omagh bomb victim families. The Taoiseach has promised on countless occasions to meet them.
