Finance Bill 2017: Second Stage (24 Oct 2017)

Pearse Doherty: There was a vote. There was a vote on budget night. Deputy Michael McGrath was on RTE that night. There was a vote on budget night to pass the Government's resolution which nullified the amendment tabled by Deputy Fitzmaurice.

Other Questions: Brexit Issues (24 Oct 2017)
