- Business of Dáil (6 Dec 2017)
Aengus Ó Snodaigh: We are limiting the time of the committee. This is beyond the fact that we were told there would be two hours in committee. Even if the committee sat all through the night until it reported back to the Dáil, it would be a case of the Dáil setting a time for it to engage in its consideration.
- Business of Dáil (6 Dec 2017)
Aengus Ó Snodaigh: It would not be allowing the committee to consider properly how to engage in detailed scrutiny.
- Business of Dáil (6 Dec 2017)
Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I am opposed to the provision itself being put before the House but I am proposing an amendment to the motion which is that the proposal on PESCO would be referred to the Select Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence sitting at 5.30 p.m. today for full and detailed consideration prior to it reverting to the Dáil for further consideration. This would allow the committee to...

- Order of Business (5 Dec 2017)
Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Deputy Crowe.
- Order of Business (5 Dec 2017)
Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I am not going into the details. I am saying that we should have the same type of debate on this proposal as we would have when any significant change in our financial commitments is proposed. An additional consideration in this case is that the proposal has implications for our neutrality. In the course of the debate on the Lisbon treaty, a guarantee was given to the public that there...
- Order of Business (5 Dec 2017)
Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Similar to the previous Deputies, I object in the strongest terms to the way this matter has appeared on the schedule for this week. As has been noted, there was no discussion about it in any shape or form at last week's meeting of the Business Committee. Deputy Seán Crowe and I discussed it as a Topical Issue only a few weeks ago when it was indicated that the Government might sign up...

- Legal Proceedings against Members of Dáil Éireann: Motion (30 Nov 2017)
Aengus Ó Snodaigh: It is correct that the course of action outlined be taken. For anyone to contemplate taking a court action in this instance to force the Dáil agenda or delay or interfere with the right of the Taoiseach to seek the dissolution of the Dáil is a step too far. It is for this House to decide its business. It is for the Government to decide its business. We can make recommendations...
- Proposed approval by Dáil Éireann of Ireland’s participation in two European Defence Agency Projects: Motion (30 Nov 2017)
Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I also acknowledge the great work of the wives and partners of the Defence Forces members and the fact they have had to come to Dublin today to protest and highlight the demands for pay and conditions. It is a disgrace and the situation is getting worse and not better. My approach to all the EU defence related motions that have come before the House since the Lisbon Treaty referendum...

- Select Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: Ireland's Participation in European Defence Agency Projects: Motion (29 Nov 2017)
Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Before addressing some of the specific matters, like the Chairman and Deputies O'Sullivan and Barrett, I approach all motions of this nature with a healthy degree of suspicion. I have argued for some years at the committee against many of the defence motions connected with the European Union that come before the committee and cautioned that we are increasingly creeping into an EU militarised...
- Select Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: Ireland's Participation in European Defence Agency Projects: Motion (29 Nov 2017)
Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I thank the Minister of State for his responses.
