Ukrainian Housing Shift, Abortion Reform, and PAC Revelations

This week, I discuss the major changes to State housing for Ukrainians, a new free travel scheme for victims of domestic violence, and seven Irish citizens detained after a Gaza aid flotilla is intercepted illegally by Israel (This was filmed prior to them being released). Aontú puts forward a bill calling for voting rights in presidential elections to be extended to the North, and Holly Cairns introduces a bill aimed at improving abortion services in this country. The Public Accounts Committee met this week which led to the National Children’s Hospital saga getting even messier with over 100,000 defects flagged, and the CHI gets caught in ANOTHER lie. Radiotherapy machines are ageing out, a TD apologises for a controversial character reference, and Sinn Féin’s Ard Fheis sees a passing of a motion to ban foxing hunting.
