International Court of Justice and Genocide in Gaza: Motion [Private Members] (30 Jan 2024)

Gary Gannon: I begin with a lesser point in the scale of what we are discussing. This is the third week in a row we have discussed the International Court of Justice, the highest court in global affairs, at which a case regarding genocide is being considered.

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (30 Jan 2024)

Gary Gannon: I again ask for time to be allowed to speak about the city of Dublin. The Taoiseach may be aware that an application was made yesterday to construct a fence around the Ambassador Theatre, which was built in 1764. This would obliterate part of the cultural heritage of our city. We need a consultative forum led by this Chamber in which we can bring all agencies together to discuss the city...

Tribunal of Inquiry into certain matters relating to the Complaints Processes in the Defence Forces: Motion (24 Jan 2024)

Gary Gannon: Members of our Defence Forces have experienced some of the most egregious treatment and conditions of any workforce in our country’s history. It has been harrowing listening to the stories of the all-too-many members who were victims of a broken system. It was a system of abuse. Imagine how difficult it must have been to live through that trauma. It is for this reason I can act...

Gaza and the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide: Motion [Private Members] (24 Jan 2024)

Gary Gannon: I begin with the words of the German playwright and poet Bertolt Brecht: The first time it was reported that our friends were being butchered there was a cry of horror.

When crimes begin to...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Sports Facilities (24 Jan 2024)

Gary Gannon: I thank the Minister of State for his response. Dublin City Council has done a lot of great work around the north inner city and the city more generally - there is no disputing that - but there has been an omission in respect of soccer pitches for predominantly working-class kids in and around the city centre. There is no 11-a-side pitch in the north inner city at all. There is an...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Sports Facilities (24 Jan 2024)

Gary Gannon: I thank the Minister of State, Deputy Malcolm Noonan, for being present for this Topical Issue. This is an issue I raised previously and it has still not been addressed.
