Mary White: ...its international credibility as well as its economy. Arriving in Brussels yesterday, the Greek Minister for Finance admitted his country is in a terrible mess.

Health Services. (9 Jul 2009)

Margaret Conlon: ...Comhairle for the opportunity to speak on this very important issue both for the people I represent in County Monaghan and myself.

Intoxicating Liquor (National Conference Centre) Bill 2010: Second Stage (13 May 2010)

Mary Upton: ...economically. I am told the conference centre can cater for anything from eight to 8,000. If one can imagine dealing with 8,000 tourists in one centre at any one time, one will get an idea of how competent and efficient the system must be in order to provide for that. It is clear that the provision of the licensing facility is hugely important. I refer to the tourism industry and how...

Kieran O'Donnell: ...the house was going to collapse. I am sure many others experienced the same. There were terrible storms. When I got up in Monaleen in Castletroy where I live, it was sunny, as it is every morning. The clouds had passed, but we have a cloud that is Brexit.
