Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (1 Apr 2025)

Cian O'Callaghan: Tomorrow, Donald Trump will take a wrecking ball to the world economy. His goal is clear and unambiguous, that being, to cause maximum damage. Yesterday, Trump said his tariffs would make his country go boom, which brought to mind the Hindenburg disaster because, as far as plans go, tariffs are up there with filling an airship with flammable gas. Tariffs are toxic to trade and economic...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (1 Apr 2025)

Cian O'Callaghan: The Taoiseach just confirmed that trade with Canada is flourishing without the provisions of the investor court, so we can have strong trade without those provisions. To get back to the key point about supporting workers and sectors impacted by the announcements that will take place tomorrow and thereafter, are there plans at EU level to put in place supports? The European Globalisation...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (1 Apr 2025)

Cian O'Callaghan: I agree with the points that have been made. I want to ask the Government about tariffs. I looked for time to be on the Dáil schedule this week to discuss tariffs. It is a huge issue that is going to impact on this country. Will the Chief Whip reconsider and actually put time on the schedule this week so that we can get an update from the Government on tariffs and have questions...

Confidence in the Ceann Comhairle: Motion (1 Apr 2025)

Cian O'Callaghan: The delay in setting up committees is completely on the Government side. We have been waiting months for the Government to bring forward proposals to establish committees. It must bring forward those proposals to the Dáil reform committee for committees to be established. It should have been done months ago. We have been asking for this be done for this to be done. There is no...

The independence of the office...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Special Educational Needs (2 Apr 2025)

Cian O'Callaghan: It makes absolutely no sense at all to accommodate a much-needed special school in Belmayne in prefabs, next door to brand-new classrooms that are not yet in use and that were specifically designed for students with additional needs. Why should children with additional needs be accommodated in prefabs in substandard conditions when a much better option is available? There is a site...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Special Educational Needs (2 Apr 2025)

Cian O'Callaghan: I thank the Minister of State for his reply. He indicated that existing accommodation must be utilised. That is exactly what we proposed – to use the brand-new classrooms. He said that using the existing classrooms designed for students with additional needs would require repurposing and that there are technical issues involved. That would be nothing compared with the work that...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (2 Apr 2025)

Cian O'Callaghan: The Government has spent years trying to convince religious orders to contribute to redress for the survivors of mother and baby homes. These efforts started in January 2021 when the then Minister, Roderic O'Gorman, first wrote to the orders saying they may wish to consider making a financial contribution to redress costs. His begging letters were ignored. In May 2023, the Government...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (2 Apr 2025)

Cian O'Callaghan: I have not been asking for the Government to wait around in the context of a redress scheme; I am asking what it is going to do when it comes to going after these religious orders. This has been going on for years. We are talking about religious orders with assets worth hundreds of millions of euro, partly financed off the back of incarceration, forced labour, vaccine trials and forced...

Financial Resolutions 2025 - Financial Resolution: Value Added Tax (2 Apr 2025)

Cian O'Callaghan: While inflation on many good services has abated compared to what we experienced from 2021 through 2023, it simply would not be correct to say that Ireland's cost-of-living crisis has gone away, as I am sure we all agree. Lower inflation rates do not mean prices are falling; they just mean prices are not rising quite as fast as they were previously. The period of severe inflation between...
