Covid-19: Motion [Private Members] (10 Feb 2021)

Michael Lowry: This Labour Party motion is purely idealistic. It is a far cry from the Labour Party calling the lockdown too draconian and bonkers last September.

Another crisis is looming and making its presence felt more and more each day, however. The people of this country, young and old, have...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: National Development Plan: Discussion (2 Feb 2021)
