That is the story of many retailers throughout the country. I was touched by the cost side and will go straight to the solar element because that makes a lot of sense....

Committee on European Union Affairs: Sustainable Development Goals: Discussion (Resumed) (16 Jul 2025)

Paul Gogarty: I thank the witnesses for their contributions. I have a couple of questions. First, I echo Deputy Lahart's point that from the European Union member states' perspective. If they face existential crisis on the eastern side, and a reduction in NATO and US support, they are going to make that changeover. It should not necessarily have anything to do with overseas development aid as part of...

Committee on European Union Affairs: Sustainable Development Goals: Discussion (Resumed) (16 Jul 2025)

Paul Gogarty: I have made a note about keeping aid on the agenda.

Antisocial Behaviour: Motion [Private Members] (18 Sep 2025)

Antisocial Behaviour: Motion [Private Members] (18 Sep 2025)

Paul Gogarty: You are no Deputy Stagg; please let me continue. At the start of my contribution on the motion, I mentioned that we needed action to deal with the causes of crime.

Again the Social Democrats said this is a very offensive motion to...
