Seanad: Youth Unemployment: Motion (10 Feb 2010)

As Senator Ryan said, unemployment is a scourge and it is truly appalling...

I know the Minister is dealing...

Seanad: Order of Business (26 Jan 2010)

Fiona O'Malley: I remind Senator Bacik of the one cohort of people she forget to compliment when she was talking about the success of the dublinbikes scheme.

I wish to echo what Senator Bacik said...
