The convention is that Bills are produced at least two weeks before they are discussed. That is not a po…

What have those war bonds funded since that decision? The Israeli state killed 17 Palestinians on 29 May; 72 on 30 May; 54 on 1 June; …

I move:
That leave be granted to introduce a Bill entitled an Act to amend the Taxes Consolidation Act 1997 to ensure the certificate required for Section 481 tax relief is only issued to qualifying companies which afford equal terms to Irish performers, comply with copyright legislation, and do not engage in the practice of so-called 'buy-out' contracts.
