Committee on Justice, Home Affairs and Migration: Policing Matters: An Garda Síochána (10 Jun 2025)

Gary Gannon: I thank the Cathaoirleach for letting me back in. I want to go back to the issue I touched on but in respect of which I did not get the winning detail – the issue of child grooming by gangs who are exploiting children. This was mentioned to the Policing Authority recently through community engagement. Children, often between the ages of eight and 12, are being coerced with money,...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Aviation Industry (11 Jun 2025)

Gary Gannon: I thank the Minister of State, Deputy Buttimer, for coming to respond to this matter today. We are at a tipping point in the roll-out of commercial drone delivery in Ireland, but regulation has clearly not kept pace. In areas like Drumcondra and Glasnevin in my constituency, residents are raising serious concerns about noise, planning, the environmental impact and safety. Drumcondra was...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Aviation Industry (11 Jun 2025)

Gary Gannon: I thank the Minister of State for his response. I appreciate that the regulations speak to how drones may be flown safely, but they do not in the slightest capture how drones may be experienced safely. That is particularly pronounced in a village like Drumcondra, Ireland’s first autism-friendly village. Significant sensory issues will not be captured in the regulations for how...

Ending the Central Bank’s Facilitation of the Sale of Israel Bonds: Motion [Private Members] (11 Jun 2025)

Gary Gannon: I was sitting in this chair a couple of weeks ago when the Taoiseach said the word. I had to do a double-take to see if I heard correctly. The Taoiseach said, “Let us call a spade a spade”, what is happening in Gaza is “genocide”. That was an important moment. After 19 months of evasion and legal gymnastics, the Taoiseach finally said it. He stood in the...

Negotiations on an Agreement between the European Union and the Republic of Kazakhstan: Motion (11 Jun 2025)

Gary Gannon: What we are being asked to vote on here is the Government asking us to trust it. That is what the entire motion comes down to. We are making statements today on the idea of trust. The Minister is asking us to sign off on a behind-closed-doors negotiation without access to the annexes, without public scrutiny and without a clear understanding of the implications. We are effectively being...

Committee on Justice, Home Affairs and Migration: Policing Matters: An Garda Síochána (10 Jun 2025)

Committee on Justice, Home Affairs and Migration: Policing Matters: An Garda Síochána (10 Jun 2025)

Gary Gannon: I fully agree that the network of community gardaí is absolutely essential, which is why I hope we can maintain it at the previous standard.

Committee on Justice, Home Affairs and Migration: Policing Matters: An Garda Síochána (10 Jun 2025)

Gary Gannon: I have one quick question. We heard recently about gardaí being sent to Dublin. Often, the reason for this is not necessarily for community policing purposes. Community policing is essential to delivering the types of services our community needs, which is gardaí at the door. The small areas policing initiative that was used ten years ago or so set a standard and I would love to...
