Seán Haughey: The Tánaiste recently said, in New York, that "we want to make cities safe again because there is a real sense that people just do not feel safe".

Jack Chambers: I appreciate this issue as a fellow colleague in Dublin.

She applied for a primary medical certificate and it is quite clear there were serious miscommunication issues because she is a native Irish speaker and the application was done through English. She appealed the decision but, incredulously, she was told she...

Jack Chambers: I regret that constituent had to do that for that particular appeal. I will ask my officials to engage with this particular case. More generally, the primary medical certificate has not been working for many years as everyone in the House would agree.
