- Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committee Meetings (12 Nov 2019)
Joan Burton: I want to raise with the Taoiseach the issue of crime, particularly gangland crime in Dublin, as well as the gangs that operate along the Border, apparently with impunity, particularly given the terrible actions and torture inflicted on Kevin Lunney as he was carrying out his work in Quinn Industrial Holdings, QIH. In the constituency of Dublin West, which the Taoiseach and I represent,...

- Budget Statement 2009 (14 Oct 2008)
Joan Burton: The Minister knows that in our joint constituency, even in a cheap shop, a bag of coal costs approximately â¬17. He could have acceded to the request of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, which works at the coalface, to have at least doubled the fuel allowance, which would have only taken another â¬6. Across Ireland, young people have to come to terms with a reality that their parents...
