- Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (9 Oct 2024)
Thomas Gould: The water in the northside of Cork city is an absolute disgrace. There is dirty, unclean water going to half the population of Cork. I was in Mount Farran on Monday where I met a father who told me his wife is in hospital. He has four young children, two of whom are diagnosed with ASD. He is trying to wash their clothes and they are coming out black. I have photographs that I can send to...

- Electricity Costs (Emergency Measures) Domestic Accounts Bill 2024: Second Stage (9 Oct 2024)
Thomas Gould: We in Sinn Féin recognise that ordinary people are really struggling with the cost-of-living crisis and the failure of this Government to properly tackle it. We have the highest energy bills in Europe, including high gas bills. People are really struggling. That is why we believe the €250 the Government is offering does not go far enough. We believe that at least €450...
- Housing (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2024: Committee and Remaining Stages (9 Oct 2024)
Thomas Gould: If the Minister says we will be here, we will be here.
- Housing (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2024: Committee and Remaining Stages (9 Oct 2024)
Thomas Gould: On cost rental, 27 homes are planned for Cork city in 2024 and none for next year. Cork City Council hit its target earlier than probably most local authorities, but the problem is that the targets for cost rental in Cork were so low that the council will finish them this year and there are none in the pipeline. I have issues with cost rental in Cork because I do not think it is as...

- Planning and Development Bill 2023: From the Seanad (9 Oct 2024)
Thomas Gould: It is often said that rushed legislation, or rushed amendments to legislation, leads to bad legislation. We have seen this time and again. Regarding the amendments included here, which have not gone through the fairly rigorous process we had at the Oireachtas Select Committee on Housing, Local Government and Heritage, where are we going? We spent hours, days and weeks going through this...

- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Middle East (10 Oct 2024)
Thomas Gould: Will the Tánaiste provide an update on the recent emergency meeting of European Union foreign affairs ministers regarding the Israeli Government and army attacking the sovereign country of Lebanon, their attacks on Syria and Yemen and their continued attacks on the West Bank and Gaza? What action will the European Union be taking to ensure an immediate ceasefire and the protection of...
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Middle East (10 Oct 2024)
Thomas Gould: Does the Tánaiste know what is very disappointing? Although he may not have realised it, he mentioned that Hezbollah has fired 10,000 rockets, which I condemn 100%, but he never mentioned how many Israel has fired. That has been the narrative here all along. There has been criticism of Hezbollah, Yemen, Iran, Syria and everyone else. I know the Tánaiste has commented on this but...
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Middle East (10 Oct 2024)
Thomas Gould: The Tánaiste has just mentioned the two-state solution. The two-state solution is dead in the water. There are 700,000 illegal settlers in place. How can there ever be a two-state solution when Israel is driving people from land they have owned for generations? Innocent Palestinians are being murdered, tortured and persecuted and the only thing they are guilty of is owning land in...
