Financial Resolutions 2025 - Budget Statement 2026 (7 Oct 2025)

Cian O'Callaghan: Indeed, Fianna Fáil Members are missing in their entirety. I wonder why they have gone into hiding. Budgets are about choices and the choices made by this Government in this budget could not be any clearer. Look after large corporations and developers at the expense of ordinary people and those who are struggling. There is no hiding or disguising it and no way to spin it. This...

Financial Resolutions 2025 - Budget Statement 2026 (7 Oct 2025)

Cian O'Callaghan: The cost-of-living crisis did not end once the election was over last year.

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (9 Oct 2025)

Cian O'Callaghan: I think the Tánaiste knows well that most people do not read every word in a manifesto. However, they do listen to what the Tánaiste says in an election TV debate.
