- Order of Business (20 Sep 2017)
Micheál Martin: I take the opportunity to express my sympathies, and those of my party, to the family of the late legendary broadcaster Jimmy Magee, who was part of the childhood memories of some Members of the House. My first memory of his commentaries was of Cork Celtic versus Shamrock Rovers some time in the late 60s. Of course he covered many major events, from Olympics to boxing to soccer. He was...

- Special Meeting of Joint Committees with Mr. Guy Verhofstadt MEP: Motion (20 Sep 2017)
Micheál Martin: On a point of order, I thought earlier, when the Business Committee proposal was made by Deputy Mattie McGrath, that he made a proposition regarding Thursday's sitting. It was then put to the House that we agree to the arrangements for Thursday's sitting or not. I think Sinn Féin said that it did not agree - fair enough - and what normally happens then is na Teachtaí atá ina...
- Special Meeting of Joint Committees with Mr. Guy Verhofstadt MEP: Motion (20 Sep 2017)
Micheál Martin: I beg the Ceann Comhairle's indulgence in this. I only learned last week, and I do not know whether it was from communication between his office and all the whips or what, that the mechanism to hear the rapporteur from the European Parliament was via three committees, which I thought was an unusual construct. Would it have been possible for the Dáil to go into committee, for example,...
- Special Meeting of Joint Committees with Mr. Guy Verhofstadt MEP: Motion (20 Sep 2017)
Micheál Martin: I thought that might be better. I was actually anticipating that we might be speaking as leaders. I only heard last week that we would not be and that it would be the joint committees coming together, which would seem potentially to prevent that and I know it is not the intention because apparently we can all go and attend the joint committees. I understood originally that we would speak...
- Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committee Meetings (20 Sep 2017)
Micheál Martin: Last week we had a very curious situation when the Taoiseach announced that NAMA would be taking a role in providing housing but subsequently said nothing had been decided. It was the latest in a lengthening list of policy announcements, both anonymous and claimed, by the Government which are not actually announcements. Will he explain the status of his statement about NAMA? Has the issue...

Micheál Martin: It was a handy announcement.
- Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committee Meetings (20 Sep 2017)
Micheál Martin: A decision was taken by the previous Government not to publish standard income distribution tables from budget documentation. That was clearly because of a desire to hide the impact of budgets, which the Taoiseach has described as unfair. Can he give a clear undertaking that this data will be provided in the context of the forthcoming budget? Separately, the Taoiseach will recall that in...
- Ceisteanna - Questions: Brexit Issues (20 Sep 2017)
Micheál Martin: Will the Taoiseach clarify whether he is responsible for overseeing Brexit policy? The Brexit unit is in his Department, as is the official in charge of the negotiations on our behalf. In spite of this, this week his office transferred a direct question on the issue to the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade on the basis that it was not the Taoiseach's responsibility. I have had many...
