Post-European Council Meeting: Statements (10 Jul 2024)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: As I said earlier, over the last eight months, Israel has lain absolute waste to Gaza.

However, The Lancet has stated that the real figure could be 186,000 people. I assume that 70% of that figure could be women and children. That is what Israel has done. A...

Post-European Council Meeting: Statements (10 Jul 2024)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: A number of us spoke about an element of the anger regarding Ursula von der Leyen. Some of it goes back to the initial unconditional support for the Israeli regime. The absolute pounding of the Palestinian people was a genocidal action. There is no way to call it anything else. That was always on the cards, given the nature of that regime, Benjamin Netanyahu and all the others who-----

Post-European Council Meeting: Statements (10 Jul 2024)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: Fair enough. Of course there is a question. Is it correct that there has been no response with regard to Ireland looking for the EU-Israel agreement to be reviewed?

Agriculture Appeals (Amendment) Bill 2024: Second Stage (11 Jul 2024)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: It is not the first time I have said it. As I said, I thank the Leas-Cheann Comhairle, the Ceann Comhairle and all the staff on the entire campus. None of us would get a whole pile done if it were not for all of them. We are obviously in support of this.

National Vetting Bureau (Children and Vulnerable Persons) (Amendment) Bill 2022: Second Stage [Private Members] (11 Jul 2024)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: This is vital legislation. We must ensure we have absolute due diligence and a streamlined process in regard to vetting. I am saying more than I usually would while in the Chair. I received a telephone call just before the debate started concerning a new facility in County Louth to deal with vulnerable children.

Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (18 Sep 2024)

I wish the new consortium led by John Temple, which has taken over the club, well. We are at the beginning of a process. Dundalk FC could have gone to the wall, which would have impacted on the integrity of the entire league. There...
