Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: The 50th Anniversary of Guaranteed Irish: Discussion (24 Apr 2024)

David Stanton: I thank the Minister of State for his response and am pleased to hear a decision regarding the planning option will be made in the coming weeks.

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Flood Relief Schemes (23 Apr 2024)

David Stanton: I thank the Minister of State for his response and for his interest to date in visiting the town and surrounding area in his former role.

Will the Minister of State give some information on...
