Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: School Funding (26 Mar 2025)

Gary Gannon: This is my first time speaking since yesterday and despite the lowering of standards we are seeing from the Government, nothing will stop me coming in here and speaking on behalf of my community. I want to speak to the Minister of State about funding for schools in the north inner city. Schools in the north inner city, like most schools around the country, are at the coalface of many of...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: School Funding (26 Mar 2025)

Gary Gannon: I thank the Minister of State. I assure him my office contacted his office about a week ago regarding that offer. We talked about not wanting to pre-empt any future budget negotiations and in parliamentary form that is absolutely fine.

Post European Council Meeting: Statements (26 Mar 2025)

Gary Gannon: As we are discussing post-EU Council statements I am glad it is the Minister of State who has joined us. Earlier we brought a motion on the triple lock and during his contribution the Minister of State accused me and members of my party of being anti-EU. He went further and almost compared us to Farage. That was an interesting point. I did not see the Minister of State doing any of the...

Post European Council Meeting: Statements (26 Mar 2025)

Gary Gannon: I remind the Minister of State it was places in the UK, such as Holyhead in Anglesey, that voted overwhelmingly to remove themselves from the EU precisely because they were not seeing any benefits from it. They were the areas most devastated by poverty and most removed from what we describe as the benefits of that Union. One of the single greatest threats, as we engage in an arms...

Civil Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2022 (Section 4(2)) (Scheme Termination Date) Order 2025: Motion (26 Mar 2025)

Gary Gannon: For many of the reasons outlined, the Social Democrats will not be able to support the reduction in the accommodation payment for Ukrainians. When the invasion began more than two years ago, Irish people on the whole were incredible in how they answered the call.

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht – Questions on Policy or Legislation (27 Mar 2025)

Gary Gannon: To respond to the Minister's last comment, I would encourage him to go down to Rutland National School in his own constituency. It has just received an electricity bill that creates a risk it will have to close its doors. That is not the issue I intended to raise, however. It has been 157 days since the report of the Dublin city task force was launched to great fanfare. We remember all...
