An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (18 Feb 2025)

Gary Gannon: The Taoiseach is presiding over a Government that seems to see crime as something to be responded to only after the fact. I read the programme for Government once again earlier, I heard the Taoiseach's statements and I listened to the Minister for Justice on the radio over the weekend. There does not seem to be any co-ordinated strategy for a violence reduction approach. I hear the...

Housing Crisis: Motion [Private Members] (19 Feb 2025)

Gary Gannon: Almost every single week, I have listened to the Taoiseach responding in a very tedious manner to legitimate questions from the Opposition, including ourselves in the Social Democrats. He asks where our solutions are and what we would do differently. I have a simple question now. Where is the housing Minister? It is becoming farcical at this point. Parliamentary debate means that we...

Maximising Artificial Intelligence: Statements (19 Feb 2025)

Gary Gannon: I listened to the previous Government speaker who repeated something said yesterday. It is almost as if you cannot talk about regulation if you have a social media account. What a banal and boring analysis of the situation.

Maximising Artificial Intelligence: Statements (19 Feb 2025)

Gary Gannon: It is the equivalent of saying you are not allowed talk about banking regulation if you have a bank account. The only person I remember in the Chamber who could meet that standard was the former leader of Fianna Fáil. What a weird analogy. For years we were sold the dream that automation and AI would free people from drudgery, allowing society to prosper and with fewer working...

Gender-Based Violence: Motion [Private Members] (26 Feb 2025)

Gary Gannon: I thank Deputy Coppinger for tabling the motion. I acknowledge the guests we have in the Gallery. My party leader, Deputy Cairns, has been in touch to acknowledge the presence of Mr. David French. She has been working alongside him to bring forward Valerie's law. We will continue to push this as heavily as we can from the Opposition benches, although it would be infinitely easier if it...

Third Anniversary of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine: Statements (26 Feb 2025)

Gary Gannon: I also welcome our special guests to the Chamber today. Three years ago Ukraine suffered an invasion of the most horrific form, an invasion the likes of which we thought was left behind in the 20th century and the horrors that emanated from the Second World War. Then we looked at the tanks rolling down the roads towards Kyiv and an image that will stay in my mind is the horrific bombing of...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (27 Feb 2025)

Gary Gannon: The game is up. The pretence that this Government values cross-party collaboration has been clearly exposed as a sham.

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (27 Feb 2025)

Gary Gannon: Given the chance to work with the Opposition on Dáil reform, the Government preferred the nuclear option, ramming through its undemocratic proposals on Dáil reform at the 11th hour, all to deliver a grubby little deal for Deputy Michael Lowry and his band of Independents. It makes us and the public wonder what exactly is the leverage that Deputy Lowry has on Fine Gael and Fianna...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (27 Feb 2025)

Gary Gannon: Like all grubby little deals, this deal was done behind closed doors and we may never know the details. The Tánaiste made a commitment in this Chamber. Both he and the Taoiseach gave solemn commitments that they would work across the Chamber, collaboratively, in respect of any Dáil reform. That very clearly lies in tatters. Who can forget other promises? The previous Government...
