Committee on European Union Affairs: Findings of the 2025 European Movement Ireland EU Poll: European Movement Ireland (9 Jul 2025)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: Some of my colleagues are obviously wasting my time for me. I have been through a number of these polls at this stage. It would actually be interesting to look at the changes that are tracked over a number of years. On the question of whether Ireland should remain a member of the EU; we know that rates high. We know that it has all taken a hit. I do not think anyone will be shocked by...

Committee on European Union Affairs: Findings of the 2025 European Movement Ireland EU Poll: European Movement Ireland (9 Jul 2025)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: Could we get some rough comparator, particularly on views that have changed throughout the European Union on the direction it is going and the issues that have arisen? Obviously, Palestine and Israel comprise a major issue, but I am also referring to migration and so on.

The responses to the question "Would you support a United Ireland in the EU?" are very positive, with 67% saying "Yes" in the North. I would love...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (15 Jul 2025)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: There has been a lack of movement on the ongoing genocide by Israel in Gaza. We need to push Israel more and we need to see action finally happen. Something we could do here today would be to "let them play". Everyone has heard those words in the context of GAA Palestine and the idea I think everyone is taken with of 47 children from the West Bank coming here, from the desperate lives they...
