Joint Oireachtas Committee on Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science: Apprenticeships: Discussion (Resumed) (9 Oct 2025)

Erin McGreehan: I have a few brief questions. I am a daughter of a plumber and a sister of a plumber. Trades are all I ever knew. No one in my house went to college; they went to a trade.

Ceisteanna ó na Comhaltaí Eile - Other Members’ Questions (8 Oct 2025)

Ceisteanna ó na Comhaltaí Eile - Other Members’ Questions (8 Oct 2025)

Erin McGreehan: I have a very clear ask of the Taoiseach. I want further investment in our two hospitals in County Louth, namely, Louth County Hospital in Dundalk and Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital in Drogheda. As the Taoiseach knows, Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital in Drogheda is completely overwhelmed. It was never designed to cope with the massive population growth that has been seen across County Louth,...
