We are all very conscious that we are facing a...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (1 Apr 2025)

Ivana Bacik: This April Fool's Day we are bracing ourselves for the impact of the most foolish April Fool of them all. I am talking, of course, about Trump's tariffs, the scale and scope of which we will learn tomorrow. Not content with damaging his own economy, he has now got his sights set on ours too. Reportedly, even within his own administration, there is no knowing yet what exactly he has...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (1 Apr 2025)

Ivana Bacik: We had concerns about it.

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (1 Apr 2025)

Ivana Bacik: All of us in this House agree that the tariffs Trump is proposing are bad for the worldwide economy. Indeed, we could be facing an international "Trump slump", as it has been described. The fear of tariffs itself is having a destabilising effect across Ireland and across Europe. We all appreciate that the EU has to respond in a strategic manner to whatever comes forward from the US...

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

Ivana Bacik: It feels like every day we are seeing more horror around the world. At the weekend, we saw the appalling earthquake and loss of life in Myanmar. There is also the ongoing slaughter of Palestinians by Israel in Gaza and the continued bombardment of Ukraine by Russia. At this time, it is particularly concerning to see the rowing back across the world of aid programmes, with UNRWA under...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Emergency Planning (1 Apr 2025)

Ivana Bacik: We have spoken in this Chamber before about the significant delays in the Government's response to the scale of Storm Éowyn. With climate change, there are likely to be stronger storms in future. We need preparations. Some years ago, after flash floods in Louth, the then Minister, Simon Coveney, committed to putting business flood relief schemes on a permanent statutory footing. I...

Ceisteanna - Questions: National Security (1 Apr 2025)

Ivana Bacik: 22. To ask the Taoiseach how he intends to increase the coordination role of his Department in national security. [13743/25]

Ceisteanna - Questions: National Security (1 Apr 2025)

Ivana Bacik: I certainly welcome the committee being established but we need to see the publication of the national security strategy. I have been raising this with the Taoiseach and his predecessors for some time. I also raised as long ago as December 2022 the need for briefings for Opposition leaders on national security matters. That was in the context of the HSE cyberattack, the presence of Russian...

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

Ivana Bacik: The office of Ceann Comhairle has been dragged into a mess of the Government’s making. The Ceann Comhairle's position has become untenable because of a deal between the Government and Michael Lowry and his group. The big question is why. Why is the Government willing to go to such lengths to facilitate Mr. Lowry? Why does it insist that someone can be in government and in...

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

Ivana Bacik: -----would certainly be a lot more critical of Ministers than we are likely to see tomorrow. Finally, we saw the Government and Ceann Comhairle ramming through changes last week in a way that was simply not acceptable. The attitude of the Taoiseach throughout this saga has been deeply frustrating. He has become increasingly tetchy in patronising Opposition leaders, accusing us of...
