There will be only one political party going to the electorate with a costed plan to abolish the means test. The reason we are doing that is very...

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (6 Nov 2024)

Matt Carthy: We still suffer the consequences of the decisions of Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael Governments to remove services from Monaghan hospital. I challenge anyone who doubts the consequences to have the misfortune of ending up in Drogheda or Cavan emergency rooms. Over the past five years, I, along with the local community, have been campaigning for the return of services to Monaghan hospital....

Matt Carthy: The Tánaiste has said that a couple of times. Of many conversations which I have had, I have never had a single one with a US politician or representative in which the issue of Palestine was not raised. I know that is the case for many others. I put this to the Tánaiste once again because we put this to him in other weeks. We are ready right now.

Select Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: Control of Economic Activity (Occupied Territories) Bill 2018: Discussion (5 Nov 2024)

Matt Carthy: Perhaps the Tánaiste can clarify whether I have this wrong. The case involving France that he mentioned is actually technically the exact opposite of this. This relates to France engaging with an occupier. It was struck down because it treated an occupied territory as part of Morocco. Therefore, is it not the case it is the flip side of this?
