Cannabis Regulation: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (6 Nov 2013)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I welcome the debate on drugs, whether legal or illegal, because society has never fully got to grips with drug abuse and the availability of drugs. I understand the motivation of Deputy Luke 'Ming' Flanagan in tabling the motion and the Bill, but I will not support the motion. I encourage an open and informed debate on drugs. I have encouraged my party to continuously have such a debate;...

Finance (No. 2) Bill 2013: Second Stage (Resumed) (7 Nov 2013)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: This is a bad budget, which comes on top of many other bad budgets.

Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed): Political Reform (12 Nov 2013)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: While I welcomed some of the recent changes to Dáil procedures they were not without some controversy. I welcome the fact that the Minister of State mentioned consultation.

Topical Issue Debate: Schools Amalgamation (12 Nov 2013)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: This is an important matter. Parents in Ballyfermot were shocked last week when they learned by way of letter from the De La Salle national school that it proposes to amalgamate with three other national schools in the area, namely, St. Raphael's national school, St. Michael's national school and St. Gabriel's national school. The original De La Salle school was built in 1952, which is...

Topical Issue Debate: Schools Amalgamation (12 Nov 2013)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: The proposal to amalgamate came as a shock to the parents, as there was no preparation done by the patron in that respect.

I am in favour of co-education in the school complex, as are the parents, but I do not...

We hear all that debate on the day in question, including the financial motions, and we have several...
