- Gaza: Statements (21 May 2025)
Brian Stanley: The level of death and destruction in Gaza demands us not just to talk but to act and to do everything possible. What is happening is genocide and war crimes. Gaza is not just a warzone; it is a horror zone. The State of Israel is a terrorist state. Its Government has stooped to a level of depravity never seen before. It is shameful, and that Government will never be forgiven lightly for...

- Assessment of Need: Statements (20 May 2025)
Brian Stanley: I welcome the opportunity to speak on this important motion and commend the campaign team and Cara and Mark Darmody. They should not have to be here.

Brian Stanley: I, too, welcome Cara and Mark to the Public Gallery today. I will be speaking about the issue that concerns them later in the day. It is a scandal that Cara has to be here again to protest on the issue. The issue I want to raise with the Taoiseach is the absence of primary care.

Brian Stanley: That is okay. I welcome Ms Leech and Mr. Taaffe and thank them for their opening statement. Obviously, delivery is key. I have some questions on this. The witnesses set out that we need a 50% increase in annual output, just to meet the Government targets. Some of us would argue that the Government targets need to go further, but we will not dwell on that for now. I wish to talk to...
