Speeches in the Dail

By clicking on the relevant speech on this page, you can view the contributions I have made during Dáil Sessions on the Floor of the House. You will see that while I have the opportunity to contribute to national issues, I fight for our local case in relation to the issues raised. This ensures that my work is relevant to my constituents and ultimately the benefits are felt locally. As a government member of parliament, I also get ample opportunities to talk with my Ministerial colleagues both formally and informally. Added to this of course is the Parliamentary Question Facility.

I have recently raised concerns on the delivery and improvement of services for Letterkenny Hospital. Click on the link to find out more on all of these issues.
