Conor Sheehan: I thank the Ceann Comhairle for her latitude. I want to raise again - this is about the fourth time - the issue of policing in Limerick city. In the last pass-out from Templemore, we received one extra Garda and lost one Garda to retirement. We have had 17 shootings so far this year. This week, we had the terrible situation where a retail worker was assaulted and bitten by somebody who...

Conor Sheehan: At the behest of developers, the Government is committed to reducing apartment sizes and removing the minimum 5% community and cultural space. The Minister claimed this will reduce the cost of apartments by between €50,000 and €100,000, but those savings could only be achieved if every single measure were applied. We have had no detailed evidence for this claim, just an...
- Pride: Statements (16 Jul 2025)
Conor Sheehan: Pride is political and Pride is protest. It is a reminder of how far we have come but how far we have yet to go. This year marks the tenth anniversary of the marriage equality referendum but also the passage of the Gender Recognition Act. In that time, we have seen a deliberate and provocative attempt to marginalise, undermine and dehumanise trans people. As has been said by my...
- Planning and Development (Amendment) Bill 2025: From the Seanad (16 Jul 2025)
Conor Sheehan: I support the amendment tabled by my colleague Deputy Ó Broin. When I read what the IPI said, I thought it was very stark. In its usual mild-mannered way the IPI set out clearly why as professional planners they believe these changes will not work. We will end up with monolithic blocks like we had in the past and that we said we would not build anymore. These are lower quality...
- Planning and Development (Amendment) Bill 2025: From the Seanad (16 Jul 2025)
Conor Sheehan: I thank the Minister for his reply. A number of Ministers over a number of Governments, including from my party, have tried to do this or have done this with apartment standards. It did not work in 2015, 2016 or 2018 and it is definitely not going to work now. We need to see the LDA's evidence for how this will cut the cost of developing an apartment. Some of these apartments are going to...

- Committee on Infrastructure and National Development Plan Delivery: Judicial Review and Appeals Process: Engagement with Courts Service (9 Jul 2025)
Conor Sheehan: On inefficiencies in the court system, could Ms Denning give the committee an idea of the work the court has done on automated court management? What are the funding requirements for the digital strategy? How much funding has the service received? How much funding does the Courts Service need? What work is being done to make the current IT system fit for purpose? That is really important...

- Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (17 Jul 2025)
Conor Sheehan: I too thank the staff and wish everyone well for the summer break. It is very clear that IBEC is trying to manipulate the Government to exclude services from the occupied territories Bill. We have had more than 21 months of genocide. The EU is now saying that it will keep a "close watch" on Israel, so a close watch on genocide. The EU is worse than useless. At the same time, the EU said...
