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

Pádraig Mac Lochlainn: What I will say to the Ceann Comhairle now is that under protest, I am taking the 30 seconds. To be clear, every party should have the right to decide who speaks for them on the Order of Business. This is blatant what is happening here. The Taoiseach does not want to be held to account, so the Government Chief Whip responds. It is treated like some procedural matter. Rather than dealing...

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

Pádraig Mac Lochlainn: The journalist of long-standing, Sam Smyth, wrote a really powerful article for The Currency. If Members have not read it, they all should. At the end of that piece, he wrote: "Lowry broke a sacred trust with the Irish people as a government minister, as was repeatedly highlighted by the Moriarty Tribunal." Yet after all this history, Lowry has re-emerged on the political stage as a...

[13670/25]

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Fishing Industry (2 Apr 2025)

Pádraig Mac Lochlainn: I am raising the very serious issue of the waters around Rockall, which comprise a traditional fishing ground for Irish fishers. There was no concern prior to Brexit, with reciprocal fishing arrangements between both jurisdictions. However, for four years the British authorities have put a blockade around what is an uninhabited rock. Under international law, it is not permissible to put...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Fishing Industry (2 Apr 2025)

Pádraig Mac Lochlainn: I thank the Minister of State. I know he is new to his brief and I wish him well. I really do wish him well because if he does well, obviously our fishing communities will do well. There has been a major diplomatic failure in respect of this matter. The British authorities have engaged in a brazen intervention. Rockall is an uninhabited rock. Unfortunately, after Brexit we passed the...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Fishing Industry (2 Apr 2025)

Pádraig Mac Lochlainn: I appreciate the offer to meet. As the Minister of State knows, it is not even just the Donegal fisherman based in Greencastle and Killybegs who would be seriously impacted. I understand that 25% of the value of the fishery for Greencastle has been lost, but it also has an impact down in Castletownbere and the west of Ireland too, so this is an all-of-Ireland issue. I will engage with the...
