Craughwell is not alone in experiencing an...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Strategic Infrastructure (12 Jul 2023)

Ciarán Cannon: I thank the Minister of State for that very comprehensive response. I am aware of, and am very pleased with, the significant investment already committed to the development of the greenway from Athenry to Milltown.

Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Transparency of RTÉ Expenditure of Public Funds and Governance Issues: Discussion (Resumed) (11 Jul 2023)

Ciarán Cannon: Why did Mr. Kelly agree to process a false invoice from RTÉ, which falsely described the service as rendered to a company that he had never heard of and not to the company he was seeking to provide the services to, namely, Renault?

Ciarán Cannon: I lost my dad a long time ago but there is one line that I will never forget. When I would come home from school when I had been misbehaving with an excuse, for example, “Johnny next to me told me to do it”, his question always was “If Johnny told you to put your hand in the fire, would you put it in?” Mr. Kelly cannot suggest for a moment that a credible answer...
