Accommodation for International Protection Applicants: Motion [Private Members] (21 Mar 2024)

Carol Nolan: There are some of us in this Chamber who could rightfully stand up and say "I told you so". I told the Government and the Minister's colleague, the Minister, Deputy Darragh O'Brien, in the Dáil 22 months ago that we were heading towards a totally unsustainable and chaotic social catastrophe, and here we are.

He has an adult child who has a disability and he has had to...

Accommodation for International Protection Applicants: Motion [Private Members] (21 Mar 2024)

Aodhán Ó Ríordáin: I really do not know what to say after those contributions from Sinn Féin.
