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

Marian Harkin: It is sometimes difficult to know what the best thing to say is when it comes to any discussion on Gaza. There is lots we can say. We have had a number of debates at this point. As I have said, there is plenty to say but the question sometimes is what is the best thing to say. What will help or make any difference to a very difficult situation? To me, the most valuable contribution we...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (24 Jan 2024)

Marian Harkin: Taoiseach, last November I asked you as Taoiseach, as leader of our country, to lead what I hoped would be an open, honest, factual and respectful debate on immigration. So far this has not happened. In my view, until we treat our citizens as adults and trust them with all the facts - the nice stuff we want them to hear and the hard facts, the tough stuff that is difficult - people will get...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (24 Jan 2024)

Marian Harkin: The Taoiseach is disappointed. I am disappointed that he did not engage. I am disappointed that he did not respond to the real concerns that I hear from people. This is dividing people. I will not be lectured. At the last public meeting that I attended, vile slurs were spoken against migrants and I was the only public representative who called them out. I can tell the Taoiseach that...

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

Marian Harkin: Yesterday, I attended what was probably the most harrowing event I have ever attended in Leinster House. Representatives from the Women of Honour group and from the Air Corps spoke about the harms and abuse they have suffered. Many TDs have elaborated on it here today, but some of the stories and the statistics were shocking. They told us they have real concerns that this tribunal of...

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

Marian Harkin: If it is, I would be happy for the Tánaiste to read it to me and I would be a bit more satisfied than I am now. I support the Sinn Féin amendment, in particular the amendment on complaints regarding hazardous chemicals. I support the request to investigate if complaints on the use of hazardous chemicals were deterred on the basis of the lack of personal protective equipment or...

This morning, I received a written response to a question I put to the Tánaiste on this issue where he told me that if an Irish citizen, for example, Salem himself, was in Gaza, his dependent parents could...
