Modular Homes, the Spring Economic Forecast, and the National Children’s Hospital

This week, I break down the new rules on modular homes. I look at the bill seeking to restrict the transit and export of weapons through Ireland to Israel, which was shut down in the Seanad by government senators. I also discuss the abuse directed at Senator Eileen Flynn following her comments on the fuel protests and the tricolour. There are updates on the upcoming by‑elections, and the Council of State meeting held in relation to the International Protection Bill. I cover the Spring Economic Forecast and the European Commission’s decision to relax state‑aid rules in response to pressures linked to the conflict in Iran. Finally, I share the latest update on the construction of the National Children’s Hospital.
