Gary Gannon: ...completely inadequate, especially for young carers, many of whom are currently inhibited in their lives and in pursuing opportunities outside their caring roles.

Gary Gannon: ...party outside McKee Barracks where a female soldier was assaulted by a military officer. We see the commission into the future of our Defence Forces finding that our Defence Forces are in disarray be that air, sea or land. They have absolutely no capacity.

Gary Gannon: ...to address what is happening on the EU's border with Belarus and some of the responses in that regard.

Road Traffic and Roads Bill 2021: Second Stage (Resumed) (11 Nov 2021)

Gary Gannon: ...in many ways. I am reminded of a story from my constituency on Christmas Day in 2014 when a young man lost his life.

The Minister of State's comment that no there would be no...
