- Ceisteanna - Questions: Brexit Issues (31 Jan 2017)
Micheál Martin: It is seven months since the Brexit referendum. The failure to go beyond generalities has now gone from frustrating to causing widespread concern. In past negotiations, such as those on the fiscal treaty and EU debt terms, the Taoiseach perfected a strategy of refusing to say what he was looking for until the negotiations were over, after which he would declare the negotiations as a major...

- Order of Business (31 Jan 2017)
Micheál Martin: The programme for Government commits to ending the casualisation of the workforce. I have raised with the Taoiseach the need for greater protection for employees on insecure and low-hour contracts.

- Order of Business (31 Jan 2017)
Micheál Martin: I have just debated the executive order with the Taoiseach and I have no objection to anything but I do not like shallow grandstanding.

I am just observing that some Members object strenuously...
- Leaders' Questions (31 Jan 2017)
Micheál Martin: The Taoiseach has not answered any of the specific questions I put to him. The essential issue is the moral authority that governs the enactment of the executive order. I ask the Taoiseach if he would publicly state that the ban is morally wrong and violates the Geneva Convention in respect of refugees and discriminates on the basis of religion and nationality. Does the Taoiseach accept...
- Leaders' Questions (31 Jan 2017)
Micheál Martin: Ireland and the United States of America have always had a very special and historical relationship and all efforts should be focused on maintaining that. That said, the events of the past seven days have left people extremely concerned about what is happening. Apart from the casual attempt to humiliate the Mexican President, there has been an executive order essentially arbitrarily banning...
