Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Tax Code (10 Jul 2025)

Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Tax Code (10 Jul 2025)

Robert Troy: Budget 2026 is probably only 12 or 13 weeks away. Preparations for it are well advanced in my Department. We are meeting various groups to hear pre-budget submissions and work is under way. If we could get something agreed in the task force, a realistic timeframe would be for budget 2027, given that it is only 12 or 13 weeks to budget 2026. I do not need to tell Senator Fitzpatrick what...

Nursing Homes and Care for Older Persons: Statements (Resumed) (24 Jun 2025)

Robert Troy: I welcome the opportunity to contribute to this debate. We are all quite rightly sickened with the recent "Prime Time" exposé about how certain nursing homes treated residents, the impact that has had on the families of the affected residents and also the impact that has on families who have people in nursing homes. My family has just gone through an agonising number of months,...

Residential Tenancies (Amendment) Bill 2025: Second Stage (18 Jun 2025)

Robert Troy: I welcome the opportunity to contribute to the debate on the Bill. For the avoidance of any doubt and as most people know, I am a landlord, but that should preclude me from having the opportunity to contribute to debates on legislation.

Ending the Central Bank’s Facilitation of the Sale of Israel Bonds: Motion [Private Members] (11 Jun 2025)

Robert Troy: I thank all the Deputies who have spoken so passionately during this debate about the horrific and inhumane situation in Gaza.

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: An Garda Síochána (10 Jun 2025)

Robert Troy: To be helpful, the matters for the morning will already have been selected and the relevant Deputies will be coming in for them.

I accept that the error was probably made by the Department of Justice.

Robert Troy: It was an error, and errors can happen. To be fair to Deputy Kelly, however, he has waited until 12.10 a.m. I do not have the information to hand to be able to give him the comprehensive answer that he deserves and that is warranted. I am sure the Minister, Deputy O'Callaghan, will facilitate the hearing of this matter on the earliest possible date that suits Deputy Kelly and the Minister...
