Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (6 Mar 2024)

Lynn Boylan: I second the proposed amendment regarding Senator Warfield's Bill on naming the children’s hospital after Dr. Kathleen Lynn.

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (6 Mar 2024)

Lynn Boylan: I propose an amendment to the Order of Business, that No. 11 be taken before No. 1. No. 11 is a Bill I am seeking to introduce to ban fossil fuel advertising.

Seanad: Private Rental Sector: Motion (6 Mar 2024)

Lynn Boylan: As my colleague said, the dire state of the private rental sector remains a crisis and the Government has failed to grasp it.
