Dublin and Monaghan Bombings: Motion [Private Members] (14 May 2024)

Matt Carthy: Which Minister is taking this?

Dublin and Monaghan Bombings: Motion [Private Members] (14 May 2024)

Matt Carthy: On Friday, 17 May 1974, three car bombs exploded in Dublin city centre. Less than 90 minutes later, outside Greacen's pub on the North Road, a fourth bomb exploded in Monaghan town. Some 34 lives were lost, including that of an unborn child. Nearly 300 were injured. Countless lives remain both physically and mentally scarred to this day. On Friday, we will mark 50 years since the...

Dublin and Monaghan Bombings: Motion [Private Members] (14 May 2024)

Matt Carthy: There are not too many issues that would secure all-party support for a motion on four occasions, namely those tabled in 2008, 2011, 2016 and today. Some might say it is surprising that there has been a need to bring virtually the same motion before the House on four separate occasions. The most surprising aspect is that it took 34 years for the first motion to be tabled. That is telling....

Matt Carthy: 54. To ask the Minister for Communications, Climate Action and Environment the meetings he has had, and-or the briefings he has received, in respect of the North-South Interconnector. [21467/24]

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: North-South Interconnector (14 May 2024)

Matt Carthy: I ask the Minister of State to outline the meetings and briefings he and the Minister, Deputy Eamon Ryan, have had in respect of the North-South Interconnector.

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: North-South Interconnector (14 May 2024)

Matt Carthy: According to the Minister of State's response, the only briefing that was received was in respect of the North-South Ministerial Council. The only meeting-----

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: North-South Interconnector (14 May 2024)

Matt Carthy: But that is not the question.

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: North-South Interconnector (14 May 2024)

Matt Carthy: Yes and this is important. The Ceann Comhairle has ruled several questions on the North-South Interconnector out of order because the Department now claims that those questions do not fall under the remit of the Minister, despite the fact that similar questions have been previously answered by the Minister and his predecessors, and now-----

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: North-South Interconnector (14 May 2024)

Matt Carthy: I just want clarification on this. The response indicated that there was one meeting and one briefing. Is the Minister of State saying that there were others or that was the only information he had? Were they the only briefings or meetings that were held by either the Minister of State or the Minister?

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: North-South Interconnector (14 May 2024)

Matt Carthy: Okay, but with due respect, the Minister has not been in office for decades. The Minister has been in office for four years. Either there were briefings and meetings that were too numerous to relay in a response to a parliamentary question, or there was a small number over that four-year period. If there was a small number, that information could be given to the House. The one thing I...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: North-South Interconnector (14 May 2024)

Matt Carthy: That is precisely what is going to lead to conflict and delay. What I find staggering about the Green Party Ministers, supported by all accounts by their Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael counterparts, is that they seem completely oblivious to the realities on the ground. If EirGrid pursues its current trajectory the only thing to be delivered will be court cases, delays, frustration and the...

Matt Carthy: Cuirim fáilte roimh an Tánaiste. I have a number of questions and I will go through them individually as quickly as possible. In respect of Ukraine and the Tánaiste's reference to the summit on peace that is due to be held in June in Switzerland, if I understand correctly, will he outline what role he envisages Ireland playing in the summit and what he expects the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: Foreign Affairs Council, UN Matters and Individually Tailored Partnership Programme with NATO: Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs (14 May 2024)
