- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: Recruitment and Retention in the Defence Forces: Discussion with Minister of State (28 Nov 2019)
Gerard Craughwell: My first question is about the Lariam drug. The Health Products Regulatory Authority, HPRA, removed the licence for Lariam in 2016, yet it is still in use in the Defence Forces. Why is that? How many legal cases have been lodged against the Department of Defence and the State with respect to the side effects soldiers were experiencing from the use of Lariam? Will the Minister of State...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: Recruitment and Retention in the Defence Forces: Discussion with Minister of State (28 Nov 2019)
Gerard Craughwell: The Minister of State did not like it when people on this side spoke during his contribution. I ask for the same respect that he demands. The Minister of State with responsibility for Defence, rather than the Minister for Defence, the Taoiseach, appears before this committee. The buck should stop with the Taoiseach but it stops with the Minister of State because he has responsibility for...

- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (10 Dec 2019)
Gerard Craughwell: I congratulate Finland on the appointment of Sanna Marin as the youngest Prime Minister in Europe. Interestingly, the Finnish Government's coalition now has five women leaders who are all under the age of 40. It will be interesting to see how business in the Finnish Parliament progresses in the coming months. I also want to mark the passing of Paul Anthony McDermott, a wonderful barrister...

Gerard Craughwell: What I would like though is to see the Minister come to the House. I understand your position, a Chathaoirligh. Anything else I am concerned about I will refer to the Garda. I would not use the privilege of the House to undermine what is taking place in the public domain right now but I do think the Minister needs to come to the House and explain where we, as in the Government, is with...

- Seanad: Judicial Appointments Commission Bill 2017: Report Stage (Resumed) (10 Dec 2019)
Gerard Craughwell: Frequently as legislation passes through this House, people refer to an amendment or part of a Bill that will be discussed in future. It is not uncommon and what Senator Bacik is doing is not wrong.

- Seanad: Judicial Appointments Commission Bill 2017: Report Stage (Resumed) (10 Dec 2019)
Gerard Craughwell: On the constitutional question, judicial appointments are made by the President acting on the advice of the Government in accordance with Articles 13.9 and 35.1 of the Constitution. The removal of this subsection as stated ensures that there is no ambiguity on this. It is the prerogative of the Government and not a new quango who it recommends to the President for appointment as it has done...

- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (11 Dec 2019)
Gerard Craughwell: The Leader circulates precisely what he intends to say in the House to group leaders and Whips before he comes in here for the Order of Business. It is clear that his computer must not have been up to scratch this morning. He may have been trying to ambush us, although I would not expect him to act in an underhand manner. Last week, I spent three days with the Not Forgotten Association,...
