- Committee on Scrutiny of Draft EU-related Statutory Instruments: Consideration of Draft EU-related Statutory Instruments (21 Nov 2023)
Mark Daly: Yes, absolutely but we are working out the process on this. These are things that affect people every day.

Louis Belton passed away, as the Cathaoirleach outlined, when he was just shy of his 80th birthday. He was one of nearly a dozen...
