Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (21 Oct 2021)

Peadar Tóibín: Ten thousand people will march on the streets of Navan on 30 October in support of our accident and emergency department. The HSE is determined to close it.

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (21 Oct 2021)

Peadar Tóibín: The partition of Ireland is the most damaging event in the history of Ireland since the Famine.

Reconciliation is built on pluralism and by definition pluralism accepts there are differences and respects those differences. Reconciliation is about reaching out the hand of friendship. It does not mean that we have to dress up in each other's...

This topic is an important one for me for two reasons. First, I have had cancer in the past couple of years and, second, North-South development is a key part of Aontú's political...

Rental Sector: Motion [Private Members] (19 Oct 2021)

Peadar Tóibín: Phil Hogan and Deputies Kelly and Coveney and now Deputy Darragh O'Brien have all been Ministers who have stood in this Chamber and said that the housing crisis cannot be fixed overnight. That hackneyed phrase has been trotted out as some kind of defence over and over again for more than a decade. The truth is that this is not an unfixable problem but there is an issue.
