Gary Gannon: I have one more question. On the recent deportations, does the Minister think he could have done that better? There was no human rights observer on the flight to Nigeria. There are 197 children currently standing with deportation orders hanging over them. I am not suggesting that anyone who comes in here with children can stay if they do not meet the criteria. However, the Minister...

Gary Gannon: At that point, it was not clear what the Minister was making it out to be. Quickening the process without the giving the resourcing leaves people in more difficult situations. I support the quickening up of the process absolutely. However, there were factors in it that were not considered at the time.

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (18 Jun 2025)

Gary Gannon: It is sometimes difficult not to interrupt when the Taoiseach is purposely distorting what exactly it is that he is trying to say. Politics is about choices. He knows this. We prisons that are overcrowded to the point where multiple sources, including those in the area of security and civil servants, have confirmed that a number of prisoners, including those suspected to be members of...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (18 Jun 2025)

Gary Gannon: We have a situation that is detrimental to the human condition. For the purposes of the Government's performative cruelty, we are now putting people who are awaiting deportation flights into prison. They are in every prison, including Mountjoy and Dóchas. People are being taken out of IPAS centres and brought to prison. All the while, the Government is releasing drug dealers back...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (18 Jun 2025)

Gary Gannon: I turn to another gross institutional failure of the State, namely, the Irish Prison Service, which is in crisis as we speak. That is not a word that I use lightly. Right now, 5,415 people are in our prisons, with more than 400 of them sleeping on floors. Prison officers and inmates are living and working in dangerously overcrowded and volatile conditions. We have been repeatedly warned...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (18 Jun 2025)

Gary Gannon: -----when it comes to this action. It is imprisoning the vulnerable to send a message, all while more serious offenders operating within the machinery of organised crime are let out the back door early. This is performative cruelty at its most blatant. Organised crime groups are thriving in communities that are already deeply neglected. Releasing those involved in these networks will...

Public Transport Experience: Motion [Private Members] (18 Jun 2025)

Gary Gannon: I thank Deputy O'Gorman for bringing forward this motion. It is timely and important. While I join my colleagues in welcoming the rise in public transport use, I cannot ignore the serious and growing issue of capacity and overcrowding, particularly on the Luas red line, which serves many of my constituents in Dublin Central. It is not just a matter of inconvenience; it is a matter of...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (17 Jun 2025)

Gary Gannon: Like the Taoiseach, I believe Israel is carrying out a genocide in Gaza. Given that is the case, what are we doing allowing uninspected flights involving private jets linked to military contractors and carrying dual-use goods to transit through Shannon Airport en route to Israel? These flights are not covert. The are documented and trackable. The Taoiseach might be aware that under EU...
