Ceisteanna (Atógáil) - Questions (Resumed): Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (18 Sep 2019)

Dara Calleary: Our focus is entirely on Brexit at the moment, but other major issues will arise in this Commission's lifetime, particularly the discussions around the future of Europe and the future shape of the EU. What input is the Taoiseach making to those discussions and what time are we putting into them, particularly in terms of defending the interests of smaller nations? Another issue that needs...

Ceisteanna (Atógáil) - Questions (Resumed): British-Irish Council (18 Sep 2019)

Dara Calleary: I was reflecting on the change of personnel since the meeting. Has the Taoiseach discussed the British-Irish Council in his conversations with the new British Prime Minister, Boris Johnson? Is the Prime Minister aware of the council's existence and its potential value as an institution that could do so much good in terms of climate change? The Taoiseach touched briefly on the issue of...

Ceisteanna (Atógáil) - Questions (Resumed): Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (18 Sep 2019)

Dara Calleary: The Taoiseach mentioned that one of his meetings with Ms Foster was at the funeral of Lyra McKee. The celebrant of that funeral, Fr. McGill, set a challenge for all politicians to act.

We do not have the institutions up and running and I fear the vacuum that existed in April still exists coming towards the end...

Agriculture: Motion [Private Members] (18 Sep 2019)

Dara Calleary: I thank Deputies McConalogue and Cahill for bringing forward this motion. This is a wage negotiation for farmers. Can the Minister of State imagine if workers involved in negotiations with their employers could not discuss their remuneration and a deal was done that did not address the wage issue? That highlights the frustration felt by farmers. Successive Deputies have spoken about the...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (19 Sep 2019)

Dara Calleary: Yesterday morning's news of an attack on Mr. Kevin Lunney should stop all of us in our tracks. We read in this morning's newspapers the details of the attack and the injuries suffered by Mr. Lunney, and they are absolutely appalling. It is the type of attack we thought had ended on this island. Mr. Lunney was kidnapped by four masked men, thrown into the boot of a car and driven away from...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (19 Sep 2019)

Dara Calleary: I welcome the Tánaiste's condemnation of the incident and I agree with his language. The difficulty is that this is the culmination of a number of attacks that have gone on for two years, including a previous attack on Mr. Lunney when he had his nose broken. Another executive had boiling water thrown in his face. As I said, there seems to be complacency in seeing through the...

Special Needs Education Places: Motion [Private Members] (25 Sep 2019)

Dara Calleary: I thank my colleagues, Deputies Thomas Byrne, O'Loughlin and Murphy O'Mahony for their work on this issue.

When Deputy Curran was Chief Whip, a Minister from the relevant...
