Dublin and Monaghan Bombings: Motion (25 May 2016)

Bríd Smith: I want to talk about something that is fresh in our memories. All of us will be aware of the high level of emotion, joy and relief felt by the families of the Hillsborough disaster recently when, finally, they got closure on the case of a cover-up by the South Yorkshire police, a case they had been fighting since 1989. Not only the community in Liverpool and Britain, but the whole world...

Other Questions: One-Parent Family Payment (25 May 2016)

I will not read out the statistics here but what is absolutely clear is that the measures to activate employment for lone...

The measures taken by the previous Minister did not...

Domestic Water Charges: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (25 May 2016)

Bríd Smith: The clock is ticking for the Government because it seems as if it has given up on trying to pursue the question of water charges. It is to be hoped that after this debate we will well and truly bury the question of Irish Water as well. It is unfortunate for the public that the motion before the House was not, as per normal democratic processes, brought to the floor of the House 12 weeks...
