Local Government (Mayor of Limerick) Bill 2023: Second Stage (20 Sep 2023)

Ivana Bacik: .... As the Minister of State, Deputy O'Donnell, will be well aware, the Labour Party has a long history and a proud tradition in Limerick.

Emergency Housing Measures: Motion [Private Members] (9 Feb 2023)

Joan Collins: ...meagre social housing units in return.

Chapter 3 - Central Government Funding of Local Authorities (23 Jun 2022)
