The very existence of our industry is under threat because of the attack on its revenue caused by...

- Public Accounts Committee: 2017 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 34 - Housing, Planning and Local Government (28 Feb 2019) Shane Cassells: What puzzles me then is how the Rebuilding Ireland Twitter account this past week retweeted @campaignforleo, which is the Taoiseach's political account rather than his departmental account, and the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government, Deputy Eoghan Murphy's political account. I have no problem with retweets where the performance of ministerial duties is concerned, but these...

- Public Accounts Committee: 2017 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 34 - Housing, Planning and Local Government (28 Feb 2019) Shane Cassells: Rebuilding Ireland has a standalone Twitter account. There have been contributions from Deputies this morning on the failings of aspects of any account. Surely we could have retweets by the main Opposition spokesperson, Deputy Darragh O'Brien, when he is pointing out failures, which carries the Fianna Fáil logo? We could have retweets of that so that people accessing that Twitter...
