Committee on Disability Matters: Progressing the Delivery of Disability Policy and Services: Discussion (Resumed) (16 Jul 2025)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: Thanks a million. Two points arise. We can all see the advantage of assistive technology at times. What research is being done on that? The idea of electronic vote counting is relatively sound and takes away the idea that there are still uncounted votes. It is very simple and the results can easily be checked afterwards. I wish to revert to two questions I asked previously. They...

Committee on European Union Affairs: Sustainable Development Goals: Discussion (Resumed) (16 Jul 2025)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: We had the whole thing with regard to Europe and strategic autonomy and whatever else. In respect of aid, some of that is happening. We all believed we lived in a certain world, and with all that was wrong with it, there was a certain set of rules. There was at least some sort of adherence to international law. That meant one believed that conflicts could happen in certain parts of the...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Middle East (15 Jul 2025)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: I get the arguments in relation to narrowness and whatever else but would it be fair to say the Minister accepts there is an issue, that anything should be done from a point of view of ensuring that the Central Bank and the State is not facilitating the sale of these Israeli war bonds and everything should be done at a European level and on a domestic level in relation to making sure that...

Ruairí Ó Murchú: I ask the Minister what engagement he has had, or what engagement his Department has had, with other Government Departments, agencies or legal advisers on the facilitation via the Central Bank of the sale of Israeli war bonds. We are talking about Israeli genocide bonds in real terms. We know there is a particular issue where this State has actually invested in and profited off this but we...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Middle East (15 Jul 2025)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: I think the Minister was quite clear in saying there were issues with regard to the Sinn Féin Bill. While I might contest that, I am asking whether, as a State, we have engaged with and looked at any means by which this State and the Central Bank of this State would not be facilitating these Israeli war or genocide bonds. I do not know what else you can call them. There is the...

Commission of Investigation (Handling of Historical Child Sexual Abuse in Day and Boarding Schools) Order 2025: Motion (15 Jul 2025)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: I do not think anyone is going to stand up and say they are not happy or relieved, if those are the right terms, at the establishment of the commission of investigation into the handling of historical child sexual abuse in day and boarding schools. Sometimes when you say it quickly, you do not get the full ramifications of what we are talking about. We know there have been huge failures...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (15 Jul 2025)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: We know the scenario regarding Trump and his tariffs and we have significant fears. While the markets do not necessarily believe him at this stage, Canada has been set aside as one of those places where we are looking at trade missions and at increasing trade, which is sound. What elements of CETA are not in place at the moment other than the ISDS? The big fear there is that corporations...
