- Ceisteanna - Questions: Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (28 Jun 2022)
Micheál Martin: Deputy Smith is correct about what is transpiring in respect of the decision that has been made on the dual regulatory framework.

Just to let Deputy Barry know as well that my late father was a founder of the National Busmen's Union, so I know a thing or two about transport strikes, particularly growing up as a child. I am watching with...
