Pádraig Mac Lochlainn: It is not agreed. There is a motion to be decided without debate before the Dáil tomorrow night to increase the cap on the defective concrete blocks scheme by 10%.

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: Report of the Commission on the Defence Forces: Engagement with Chair of Implementation Oversight Group (15 Oct 2024)

The Tánaiste told us in response to a...

David Stanton: I assume the establishment strength of the RDF will not include civilians versus the PDF. Am I right in saying that? Yes. How was that 4,500 arrived it? How was it decided that would be the number?
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (15 Oct 2024)
Simon Harris: I thank Deputy Lowry for this important question in relation to aviation policy and indeed the role of Shannon Airport. More broadly, on the passenger cap at Dublin Airport, as the Deputy knows this arises from a 2007 condition attached to planning permission for terminal 2. I do not believe a 17-year-old decision holding back growth in 2024 to be a sustainable situation. I engaged with...
