Cost of Motoring: Motion [Private Members] (12 Nov 2025)

Peadar Tóibín: I have great regard for the Minister of State and hope he has the best of luck in this role, but he is nearly a year in it and car drivers are still being significantly financially assaulted in this country. The level of money they have to pay currently is quite incredible. Last year, drivers paid €1.9 billion in VAT and VRT. Last year, car drivers contributed to €4.1 billion...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (12 Nov 2025)

Peadar Tóibín: It is 420 days since I asked the Tánaiste, Deputy Simon Harris, about why Harvey Morrison Sherratt was taken off the waiting list. The Tánaiste has not been able to answer that question in those 420 days. That is an incredible indictment in relation to it. He said in the Dáil that he would immediately ask the HSE and that he would ask the Minister for Health, yet no question...

Ceisteanna - Questions (12 Nov 2025)

Peadar Tóibín: I want to raise the serious matter of the death of the Ukrainian child Vadym Davydenko, an unaccompanied minor who was killed in Tusla accommodation. I want to extend my deepest sympathies to his family and friends. It has come to our notice that the suspect in that case may well be an adult. There is documentary evidence to show this.

Decriminalisation of People Who Use Drugs: Motion [Private Members] (5 Nov 2025)

Peadar Tóibín: One of my first political experiences was canvassing in a block of flats in Dublin. As I walked up the stairwell in the block of flats, I noticed, first, a pair of women's tights on the stairwell. When I got higher, I noticed a discoloured spoon near the top of the stairwell and when I got to the very top, there was a 17-year-old boy lying on the ground, practically unconscious, foaming at...

Committee on Infrastructure and National Development Plan Delivery: Business of Joint Committee (5 Nov 2025)

Peadar Tóibín: I think it would be a brave TD who would suggest a nuclear power plant for their constituency. We should probably look at it but I am not in favour of nuclear power in Ireland. We should be available to research it, at least to be able to put a decision in a report to state we have looked at it. I would say not to agree with it yet.

Committee on Infrastructure and National Development Plan Delivery: The Role of Private Sector Construction in Delivering High-Quality Infrastructure: Discussion (5 Nov 2025)

Peadar Tóibín: Gabhaim buíochas leis na finnéithe as ucht teacht anseo inniu. This is one of the biggest discussions happening in the country at the moment. It is affecting every single element of life. It is absolutely shocking that we have a situation where there is no clear pipeline for construction companies here, even though we have a massive gap in infrastructure. It took me two hours to...

Committee on Infrastructure and National Development Plan Delivery: The Role of Private Sector Construction in Delivering High-Quality Infrastructure: Discussion (5 Nov 2025)

Peadar Tóibín: It was mentioned earlier that there is serviced land that is not necessarily zoned for residential. Is there a map where, per county, we can see lands that are serviced, let us say, that are not zoned for the residential, that is, the low-hanging fruit that was mentioned? Is that map available?
