Garda Síochána (Amendment) Bill 2022: Second Stage (14 Jun 2022)

Johnny Mythen: We understand the basis of this Bill stems from a recent High Court judgment in which it was determined that the system of Garda court presenters had no legal basis.

Carbon Tax: Motion [Private Members] (27 Apr 2022)

Johnny Mythen: ...that public transport is non-existent in most rural communities, including my constituency in County Wexford where almost 75% of people live in rural settings?

Rural and Community Development: Statements (18 Nov 2020)

Johnny Mythen: ...and regional development of rural Ireland must be prioritised and well-funded if we are serious about protecting and sustaining our rural communities.

The Government's funding...
