I have recently been informed that the same...

The proposals were widely condemned by a broad coalition of disability, mental health and carers' groups. I am glad the Government has recognised, as...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (16 Apr 2024)

Joan Collins: I thank the Taoiseach. It has been 15 years since the crash. Until 2021, many of these workers had not even received a pay increase. The staffing community of voluntary organisations who are awarded the pay increase of 8% have not received it and have not been paid to date. That is outrageous. Why has it not been paid and when will it be paid? This needs to happen urgently. It...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (16 Apr 2024)

Taoiseach a Ainmniú - Nomination of Taoiseach (9 Apr 2024)

Joan Collins: There is a lot of fanfare about this being a new start for Fine Gael, this Government and the country. In reality, what we see is the same old stale, out-of-touch political system that has been in power since the foundation of the State. We can play political musical chairs and give everything a fresh look but this is just two sides of the same coin. It is another Taoiseach for Fine Gael...
