Ceisteanna - Questions: An Garda Síochána (30 Apr 2024)

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Garda Reform (10 Sep 2020)

Paul Murphy: If the Government gets away with this, in future whistleblowers or perceived whistleblowers may be discriminated against in terms of promotion by a Garda Commissioner. The power was taken out of the hands of the Garda Commissioner and given to the Policing Authority for a very good reason. We all saw the disgraceful treatment of Maurice McCabe and others. It is an astounding counter-reform...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Garda Reform (10 Sep 2020)

That is a very serious decision that has significant implications. The report of the Smithwick tribunal found that loyalty is prized over honesty within...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (23 May 2023)

Leaders' Questions (12 Jul 2017)

Covid-19 (Health) - Statements (14 May 2020)
