Men's Health: Statements (22 Oct 2025)

Peadar Tóibín: I also pay tribute to the men's health campaigners who have worked so hard to get this issue debated in the House today. Again, I am shocked by the fact that this is the first time that we in Leinster House have had a debate solely on men's health. In many ways, the fact that we have not had the necessary focus on this issue is really telling. A month ago, Movember launched The Real...

Office of the President: Motion [Private Members] (22 Oct 2025)

Peadar Tóibín: People Before Profit says that Aontú's motion is too restrictive. The Labour Party says it was not restrictive enough. In reality, I have no problem with Deputy Paul Murphy's amendment. We are happy to support it. My concern is just to make sure the signatures could be verified.
