Sustainable Fisheries Sector and Coastal Communities: Statements, Questions and Answers (15 Feb 2024)

Peadar Tóibín: Ireland has some of the richest fishing grounds in the whole world, and it is unbelievable to see what has happened to the fishing industry under the policies of the Government.

I am still actually shocked by that figure, even though I have read it so many times, and that 85% of Irish fish in Irish waters...

Sustainable Fisheries Sector and Coastal Communities: Statements, Questions and Answers (15 Feb 2024)

Peadar Tóibín: In September, the Danes offered the Minister 3,000 tonnes of mackerel quota. Is that the case? This is a major success we have had in terms of a one-off increase in our mackerel quota. I engaged on this with my team when we identified an opportunity. At the time, we were accused by the Danish minister of conducting a midnight heist at the negotiations when we went after this particular...

He attached four anonymised reports, with permission to share them. He gave them to the Minister, who deleted three of them,...

Recent Developments in Northern Ireland: Statements (14 Feb 2024)

Peadar Tóibín: It is a pity the Tánaiste is not in the Chamber for this debate. He is the senior Minister responsible and is not here to listen to different voices. I welcome the restoration of the Executive. The past two years have been a disaster for ordinary people in the North of Ireland. They have suffered significantly due to the lack of proper, functional institutions. I will mention the...

Peadar Tóibín: In 2016, as Minister for Health, the Taoiseach said the national children's hospital would be built in 2020 for €700 million and, short of an asteroid, it would happen by 2020. Obviously, this was untrue. It was costly rubbish, to be honest. The cost of the national children's hospital has risen to more than €2.2 billion and there is no specific date for its opening. There...
