- Select Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: Defence (Amendment) Bill 2024: Committee Stage (23 May 2024)
Matt Carthy: It is page 28. It is in respect of amendments-----
- Select Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: Defence (Amendment) Bill 2024: Committee Stage (23 May 2024)
Matt Carthy: May I make a couple of comments? The amendments to this section and our contributions come from the positions of the representative organisations themselves. They tell us they feel that this has created ambiguity. The Tánaiste mentioned a couple of times the issues around public agitation and protest. To be clear about my own position, if the section read "shall not encourage members...

- Select Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: Defence (Amendment) Bill 2024: Committee Stage (23 May 2024)
Matt Carthy: I move amendment No. 10: In page 14, line 37, to delete “and” where it secondly occurs. From our perspective, amendment No. 11 is the substantive one. It relates to an issue that was discussed widely, as the Tánaiste will be aware. I refer to the external oversight body. It is a concern that was widely relayed during the pre-legislative scrutiny that the external...
- Select Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: Defence (Amendment) Bill 2024: Committee Stage (23 May 2024)
Matt Carthy: Notwithstanding anything that has been said, I do not think we can look at this legislation or leave what many of us consider an anomaly in it the expectation that other legislation to address this matter will be brought forward in the future. In fact, the current position reinforces the problematic nature of what is being proposed because it is the Secretary General who is the Accounting...
- An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (28 May 2024)
Matt Carthy: I have raised previously the atrocious condition of local roads across rural communities including in my county of Monaghan. Local roads are in the worst state seen in decades because the Government has underfunded councils. It now appears that rather than addressing the shortfall at a time when the Government is increasing fuel costs, we have been told by industry that TII plans further...
- An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (28 May 2024)

- Ireland's Recognition of the State of Palestine: Statements (28 May 2024)
Matt Carthy: I welcome the Palestinian ambassador, members of the Palestinian community and long-standing campaigners for justice in Palestine to the Dáil for statements to mark an historic moment for both Ireland and Palestine. The decision to officially recognise the State of Palestine fulfils a Dáil mandate that is now almost a decade old. It was in December 2014 that the Members of this...

- Neutrality and the Triple Lock: Motion [Private Members] (29 May 2024)
Matt Carthy: You are a liar.
- Neutrality and the Triple Lock: Motion [Private Members] (29 May 2024)
Matt Carthy: The Tánaiste is telling lies in the Chamber.
- Neutrality and the Triple Lock: Motion [Private Members] (29 May 2024)
Matt Carthy: Irish neutrality is a strength. It underpins our contribution to peacekeeping and diplomacy and allows Ireland to play a positive and constructive role in conflict resolution. We should be proud to say that Irish neutrality is a strength. Others have attempted to portray neutrality as a weakness. I put on the record of the House that it absolutely is not. Fine Gael has always been...
