‹ Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions Smoky coal and spending
Summary
Micheál Martin tried to bring the Taoiseach back to the smoky coal ban, but the Taoiseach shifted to broader questions of spending restraint and competing demands from sport and home care. The exchange ended with the Taoiseach saying the Government was holding the line on spending while opposition Members voiced disbelief.
