Search for drugs speaker:Thomas Gould segment:8865818 (KildareStreet.com)

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Naval Service (21 Mar 2024): Thomas Gould: ..., the Government is not cancelling patrols because it is not doing the patrols that should be done. In fairness, to have only two ships on the water sends a message to people who want to illegally fish and to drug barons who use Ireland as a place to land major supplies of drugs. Does the Tánaiste think they will be deterred by two ships? I do not think so.

KildareStreet search is case-insensitive, and tries to match all the search terms within a document.
To exclude a word from your search, put a minus ("-") sign in front, for example to find documents containing the word "representation" but not the word "taxation":
representation -taxation
To search for an exact phrase, use quotes (""). For example to find only documents contain the exact phrase "Mahon Tribunal":
"mahon tribunal"
If you want to search for words only when they're used near each other in the text, use "NEAR". For example, to find documents containing the word "elephant" near the word "room":
elephant NEAR room
If the search phrase matches (part of) a TD or Senator's name, their own page will appear as the top result, but will also search speeches made by them too.
From a person's page, you have the option to search only their speeches.
