- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Defence Forces (17 Oct 2024)
Matt Carthy: This question is to adjudicate the performance of the Government in respect of the Defence Forces. Sometimes the Tánaiste says there is unfair criticism.

There are currently fewer than 7,500 members of our Defence Forces, 2,000 below the establishment figure and a whopping 4,000 below the two-figure...

- Committee on Drugs Use: A Health-Led Approach: Discussion (Resumed) (17 Oct 2024)
Gino Kenny: I have a number of questions. My first is about the adult caution scheme and cannabis. It was introduced in 2021. There is controversy about the numbers particularly since it was introduced. What are the witnesses' opinions on how that has worked out? The figures I have seen are that the cautions and those directed towards court are very imbalanced. The idea is to give a person a...
