Iarnród Éireann has a very good record of delivering on target. Regarding...

He and some of his co-accused will be in jail until next year. I ask the Minister to take up this case as urgently as possible...

- Middle East: Statements (2 Jul 2025)
Pa Daly: We cannot equivocate on this issue. The volatility in the Middle East has been caused by Israel's ongoing decades-long genocidal campaign in Palestine and by its recent aggression against Iran. Israel is acting with impunity as the world watches on. Nearly 100,000 people are dead, with many more left permanently disabled or as lone survivors. As Mo Chara said, "The Palestinians have...
