Ceisteanna (Atógáil) - Questions (Resumed): European Council Meetings (29 May 2019)

Micheál Martin: Nobody really knows what will happen in London in the coming months. It seems reasonable to assume that the risk of failing to agree a full withdrawal treaty with the new Tory leader is very high. I think the Taoiseach will agree that anybody who has dealt with Boris Johnson knows that his understanding of and engagement with Irish matters is superficial at best. None of the other...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (11 Jun 2019)

Micheál Martin: I thank the Ceann Comhairle for that announcement and of course we wish them well. We will miss them greatly in terms of the Dáil. In 1990 the then Minister, Mary Harney, introduced a ban on smoky coal within Dublin city and the Dublin region. This had a radical and beneficial impact on public health and the environment. It saved many lives and improved the quality of health of many...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (11 Jun 2019)

Micheál Martin: I find that response pathetic and incredibly weak. The ban on smoky coals was introduced in this city nearly 30 years ago. Thirty years later, the Taoiseach is saying that the Government cannot do the remaining 20% because the coal firms have said they will take legal action. The smoking ban would never have been introduced had we been afraid of the threat of big tobacco coming after us...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (11 Jun 2019)

Micheál Martin: That threat was there all the time, but we went ahead. The bottom line is that, for any Government, public health is number one.

This Government should have taken them on without...

Micheál Martin: He was followed by another Minister, Deputy Naughten, confirming to the Dáil in April 2018 that a ban would come into effect incrementally. In 2019, the Minister, Deputy Bruton, has deferred. Has the Government not been considering the ban for the past six years? Announcements from the Government mean nothing. When the Dáil declared a climate emergency, the Taoiseach stated that...
