It is evil we are witnessing day after day and not only are good men and women not doing...

Aodhán Ó Ríordáin: I echo the calls for a proper over-and back debate with the Minister for Justice regarding what happened last Thursday night. We agreed with calls for the House to reconvene yesterday to have a proper, full debate on what happened on Thursday, when the city was effectively on fire. We cannot have preprepared speeches read into the record of the House; we need to have a proper conversation...

Policing, Protests and Public Order: Statements (28 Nov 2023)

Aodhán Ó Ríordáin: Like many people from Dublin, I am still slightly traumatised by the events of last week. When word came through of a stabbing incident on Parnell Square, I wanted to be with my own five-year-old daughter as quickly as I possibly could.

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Transport Infrastructure Ireland (30 Nov 2023)

Aodhán Ó Ríordáin: I support what has been said. We would very much appreciate a visit by Minister. The problem is that nobody is taking responsibility for the issue.
