- An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (15 Jul 2025)
Joe Neville: I wish to raise the issue of safety on our roads and, indeed, footpaths in relation to e-scooters and e-bikes. Last week, while coaching our under-14 hurlers in Leixlip, I noticed that there was an ambulance and a police car at an incident on the road behind us. I went up to investigate. I saw a nine-year-old boy being carried away in an ambulance. He had been cycling his bike and minding...

Joe Neville: Ms Denning said earlier that she does not really care, or is agnostic, as to who is in it and who wins, but at the same time has she noticed any trends? What type of person is bringing the cases? The risk, obviously, with a judicial review is that somebody is trying to play the system and to delay the decision.

- Committee on Infrastructure and National Development Plan Delivery: Judicial Review and Appeals Process: Engagement with Courts Service (9 Jul 2025)
