He was a committee member in Northern Ireland who represented six debtors, which has already been pointed out, the debts of which represented 50% of the Project Eagle portfolio. When Ms O'Reilly and Mr. Stewart heard that Mr. Cushnahan was to receive £5 million or £6 million, did alarm bells not go off in their heads? Did...

Leaders' Questions (18 Oct 2017)

Catherine Connolly: ..., I used my time during Leaders' Questions to raise the very serious issue of domestic violence. More specifically, I raised the failure of the Government to provide funding of approximately €1 million to review the groundbreaking study that was carried out in 2002, indicating over 3,000 victims of violence generally. This confirmed the extraordinary prevalence of violence in...

Catherine Connolly: ...the economic challenges posed to our country by climate change in terms both of the direct effects and of the enormous fines we will be obliged to pay within few years, which range from €600 million up to more than €5 billion. We are talking monopoly money here. That is not built in the witnesses' statement. Why is Brexit the only risk outlined here? Am I in trouble, Chairman?

Leaders' Questions (16 Nov 2017)

Catherine Connolly: .... I welcome the indication that the Government is in consultation with those experts but, at this point, there must be a clear admission that a SAVI-type report is absolutely necessary, more than 15 years since the last such report, so that we can develop policy and proper legislation to deal with the problem. The SAVI researchers spoke to both men and women and its findings are...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Flood Risk Management (16 Nov 2021)

Therefore, we need specific answers in relation to timelines and...

Financial Resolutions 2018 - Financial Resolution No. 4: General (Resumed) (11 Oct 2017)

Catherine Connolly: ...why one might need a communications unit. Surely the Dáil is the place from which to send one's message and to outline a proper, just budget. We do not need spin doctors. We do not need €5 million to spin a story. It should be evident from the way that we are providing services. What I find even more ironic, if that is not a bad use of the word, is that one of the main...
