- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (25 Jun 2024)
Mary Lou McDonald: I am pleased to hear that the Taoiseach is willing to work with all of us because Natasha said to me that the experience of the courtroom was more traumatic for her than even the attack itself. I find that a shocking scenario for a young woman in any era but in a time of enlightenment when we all agree that we have an epidemic of violence against women and that we have to adopt a...

Seán Ó Fearghaíl: Thank you, Deputy.
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (25 Jun 2024)
Mary Lou McDonald: This is so profound it requires immediate action by all of us. By the way, there are still nine counties with no domestic violence shelters. The Taoiseach knows this. Some progress has been made but let us not delude ourselves. We are not in a good place in this scenario. The question to the Taoiseach in respect of what he described in the Defence Forces - we know there is at least one...

- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (25 Jun 2024)
Mary Lou McDonald: We know how profound these issues are. We need to see real leadership. We need to see collective leadership, but there is a particular onus on the Taoiseach as leader of the Government in that regard.
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (25 Jun 2024)
Simon Harris: There absolutely is. It is one I take very seriously. It is a responsibility I do not shirk from at all. To touch on some of the issues the Deputy raised, in the case of an enlisted member of the Defence Forces, I am told that, following a conviction where imprisonment or a suspended sentence is awarded or an appeal has been heard or not submitted, the process for discharge commences upon...

- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (25 Jun 2024)
Simon Harris: I thank the Ceann Comhairle. At his invitation, I want to begin by acknowledging the passing of Mícheál Ó Muircheartaigh. It is with the heaviest of hearts that I, like people across this country, today learned of his death. The word "legend" gets used too often in Ireland but, for Mícheál, it is a word that is almost not good enough. His voice, his colour, his...

- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (25 Jun 2024)
Seán Ó Fearghaíl: We will now take Leaders' Questions under Standing Order 36 but just before we came into the House we heard the sad news that the legendary, iconic figure Mícheál Ó Muircheartaigh has died. Leaders will want to avail of an opportunity to pay tribute to him so we will add a minute to each leader's slot for that purpose. I know everybody in the House wants to extend to his...

Mary Lou McDonald: As the Ceann Comhairle has said, I extend our deepest sympathy to the family, friends and loved ones of Mícheál Ó Muircheartaigh, a man who it is fair to say can only be described as a legend of Irish life. He was the voice of the GAA and what a tonal voice he had. His voice will forever be associated with long, hot summer afternoons and the hopes and expectations of so many....
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Long-Duration Energy Storage: Discussion (25 Jun 2024)
Cormac Devlin: That is all right. Deputy Matthews is welcome to the committee. I know he is sometimes torn because of chairing his own. I thank the witnesses this morning for their insightful input into energy storage. It has been beneficial for the committee to hear about various new, or not so new, technologies, but which are new in the marketplace. I found it informative. Deputy Matthews touched...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Long-Duration Energy Storage: Discussion (25 Jun 2024)
Cormac Devlin: Regarding that peak-time demand, would it be possible to roll out that shorter-duration energy storage into more rural areas, for example? People are saying that there still are not enough charging points across the country or that charging points are not even available. I believe one of the witnesses spoke about new technology for recharging EV batteries and the battery life diminishing...
