Housing and Homelessness: Motion [Private Members] (11 Jul 2023)

Peadar Tóibín: I take this opportunity to invite everyone in the House to join me at a vigil tomorrow that Aontú is organising to remember the more than 400 homeless people who have died in Dublin since 2018. Every party is organising this vigil. It is not a political event. It is simply a vigil to remember the shocking human tragedy that is unfolding on the streets of our capital city. Fr. Peter...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: An Garda Síochána (11 Jul 2023)

Peadar Tóibín: Meath is a great county with great communities but it is suffering significantly from a wave of crime and antisocial behaviour. Shockingly, Meath has the highest number of burglaries in the country. Some 8,000 families have been devastated by burglary in Meath in just the last ten years. That is equivalent of every home in Dunboyne, a town in the Minister's constituency, being burgled in...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: An Garda Síochána (11 Jul 2023)

Peadar Tóibín: In fairness, gardaí do not want the Minister's commendation; they want support. That is what they want every day. The number of gardaí in the State has fallen every year Deputy McEntee has been Minister for Justice. That is some record. In every year she has been Minister for Justice, the number of gardaí in the State has fallen. She says she has no role in the allocation...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: An Garda Síochána (11 Jul 2023)

Peadar Tóibín: I do not want to sound rude but I want to communicate the level of anger in County Meath at the fact that Meath is on the bottom rung with regard to the number of gardaí. Ireland has the second lowest number of police per capitain the whole of the European Union. Ireland is one of the worst countries in terms of policing and Meath is the worst in that country. Outside of rhetoric, I...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Food Industry (11 Jul 2023)

Peadar Tóibín: Many farmers are seriously concerned that meat, which is being exported from Ireland and stamped with the Irish logo and brand, is not actually Irish meat at all. I will give some of the statistics on it. Each year, approximately 56,000 tonnes of sheepmeat is exported from this country. Since 2018, €1.8 billion worth of sheepmeat has been exported. All of that is categorised as...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Food Industry (11 Jul 2023)

Peadar Tóibín: There is little points for Deputies to wait here until 10.15 p.m. to listen to scripted response from a Minister of State on a question. The purpose of these oral discussions is that points will be raised during the discussion to which the relevant Minister can then respond. In this case, I might as well have just stuck in a written question to the Minister because all I am getting back is...

Criminal Justice (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2022: From the Seanad (12 Jul 2023)

Peadar Tóibín: Ms Sharon Loughran is a paediatric nurse who lives in Newry. She works with children from both sides of the community in terms of the work she does. This morning she woke up at 3 a.m. to see her car in an inferno and the side of her house melting as a result of a 12th July sectarian attack on her because she is a woman from the nationalist community who is involved in political activism and...

Criminal Justice (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2022: From the Seanad (12 Jul 2023)

Peadar Tóibín: I will stop in two seconds but this is a horrendous act and it is important the political establishment allows for no tolerance in relation to these acts. I thank the Leas-Cheann Comhairle for her indulgence.
