Maritime Jurisdiction Bill 2021: Committee and Remaining Stages (14 Jul 2021)

Pádraig Mac Lochlainn: The Minister has put forward the subject of honesty and I am glad he has done so. Let us go through facts in detail. It is true that there were a number of agreements between the Irish Government and the British Government on the area around Rockall, culminating in the 2013 agreement.

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (14 Jul 2021)

Pádraig Mac Lochlainn: Thank you, a Cheann Comhairle. The Irish people have never recognised or accepted Britain's claim to Rockall. Tonight, without any real debate, the Irish Government, led by a Fianna Fáil Taoiseach, will sign away Irish sovereignty and, with it, our historic fishing rights at Rockall. This is utterly shameful. At a time when the entire industry is fighting for its very survival, the...

Finance (Local Property Tax) (Amendment) Bill 2021: Committee and Remaining Stages (14 Jul 2021)

Pádraig Mac Lochlainn: I find it extraordinary and very worrying that the Minister has put in these conditions.

I note the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage, Deputy...

Pádraig Mac Lochlainn: They are not agreed.
