Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (13 Feb 2024)

Rebecca Moynihan: Throughout 1995, thousands of Bosnian Muslims came from all over Bosnia to a small town called Srebrenica, where they were told they would be safe in a UN enclave in a war zone.

Despite increasing pressure on Israel from the international community to stop the ethnic cleansing in occupied...

Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Consumer Prices (24 Jan 2024)

Rebecca Moynihan: I thank the Minister of State for taking this matter, which is impacting worried parents all over the country.

A baby may need up to ten cans of formula a month, which ends up costing the...

Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Consumer Prices (24 Jan 2024)

Rebecca Moynihan: I thank the Minister of State. I appreciate him outlining it from a consumer protection point of view. I saw a reply from his colleague, the Minister of State, Deputy Naughton, when Deputy O'Reilly asked this question last May because it has been an existing issue. She essentially received an outline on the promotion of breastfeeding, which read to me as saying the Government was not going...

Rebecca Moynihan: I thank Mr. Coleman for coming in today. I want to return to the theme of what cost rental is, and the costs that are associated with it.

Does that mean that what the LDA is delivering under Project Tosaigh costs approximately...
