- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (29 May 2024)
Mary Lou McDonald: The cost of living is putting enormous pressure on households. A report by Barnardos published this morning highlights the sharp impact on families and children. Nearly half of parents say they or their children have gone without or cut back on the basics over the past six months. This includes food, clothes, medicine, electricity and heat. Some 47% of parents say they are forced to cut...

Simon Harris: I welcome the opportunity to discuss the important issues highlighted by the Barnardos survey published this morning. I am very grateful to Barnardos for the work it does and the survey it produced. I thank its dedicated staff and volunteers. Objectively, Ireland is making progress when it comes to child poverty. The consistent poverty rate for children is now lower than it has been at...

- Neutrality and the Triple Lock: Motion [Private Members] (29 May 2024)
Seán Fleming: We have had an interesting debate over the past hour or so. In particular, we had a very important debate yesterday on recognising the State of Palestine. On the issue of neutrality, the world has changed since the last general election. In my lifetime, I have never seen an invasion by Russia into Europe before. I have heard no------

- Neutrality and the Triple Lock: Motion [Private Members] (29 May 2024)
Seán Fleming: The UK is not in the European Union but it is in Europe. The European Union is not Europe and it is important to recognise that. Switzerland is in Europe but it is not in the European Union. I am not referring to the EU. In the last few days, I have heard very little criticism in this House of what Hamas did on 7 October. We are very fair and proportionate. We criticise what Hamas...

Bríd Smith: The Minister of State was obviously in the House when I spoke earlier but chose to ignore what I said. He spoke of hypocrisy but his hypocrisy has been shown and thrown open today. I will repeat what I said. I made absolutely clear that I opposed both imperialist powers that seek to divide the world into their respective spheres of influence. I said I openly opposed the US empire and...

Richard Boyd Barrett: The Government has resorted to McCarthyism. That is what we saw here today. It is absolutely unbelievable but it is not surprising it would have adopted the tactics of the Cold War merchants of the United States who sought to actively crank up inter-imperialist rivalry to the terrifying level that at one point we were on the brink of a nuclear war over Cuba. Those are the stakes. The...

Seán Fleming: : I move amendment No. 1: To delete all words after "Dáil Éireann" and substitute the following: "notes that: — Ireland's policy of military neutrality is characterised by non-membership of military alliances, or common or mutual defence arrangements, and this policy choice has been practised by successive Governments since the Second World War; — the...

- Neutrality and the Triple Lock: Motion [Private Members] (29 May 2024)
Seán Fleming: We had not seen one before the last general election. It has happened since, with Putin's illegal invasion of Ukraine. Whether we like it or not, that has changed the international security situation in Europe, of which we are a part. That has changed fundamentally since the last general election. For people to refer to what people said on previous occasions is not acceptable. Since the...
