Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: An Taisce (15 Jul 2021)

Richard O'Donoghue: I share Deputy Mattie McGrath's sentiments. We welcome the work An Taisce does with regard to the clean-up. I am been involved in the clean-ups in Limerick, as have all my family, neighbours and friends. That is a plus and a positive. The negative is what An Taisce is doing on the other side. The Minister of State has just said that it invoiced us for €675,000 during 2020. I want...

I have lived in a rural area all my life and I hope to live there for the rest of my life. If we take the price of a serviced site in a city and apply that to a serviced site in a county, to make it profitable for...

Health (Amendment) (No.2) Bill 2021: Second Stage (14 Jul 2021)

Richard O'Donoghue: Has the Minister ever heard the saying "You could confuse the nation"? I am afraid the Government has passed with honours.
