Programme for Government: Statements (6 Feb 2025)

Ruth Coppinger: I will stick to one topic, namely, the issue of special education and its provision generally. Two words not in the programme for Government are "teacher shortage".

We have a phenomenon in...

We need investment to ensure it does not happen again that people, in 2025, are waiting weeks upon weeks to have their power restored. I raise the situation of schools. In many areas, children,...

Ruth Coppinger: Today we nominate a Taoiseach in a week that Donald Trump was inaugurated, surrounded by his broligarchy, his billionaires and his sexual predators. He announced that the US intends to continue to destroy the planet for profit, pick on minorities and move in a more competitive and genocidal direction. Beside him, the world's richest man did two fascist salutes for good measure. What was...

Taoiseach a Ainmniú (Atógáil) - Nomination of Taoiseach (Resumed) (23 Jan 2025)

Ruth Coppinger: -----partly in an attempt to prostrate itself in front of Trump and the corporations and to ignore the ongoing suffering of the people of Palestine. What was a very right-wing Government will become more right-wing, including with the motley crew of those who espouse some of the ideas of misogyny, racism and climate denial as well. They are becoming more right-wing and more clearly...

Taoiseach a Ainmniú - Nomination of Taoiseach (18 Dec 2024)

Ruth Coppinger: I feel that in rallying behind its selection for Ceann Comhairle, it could be the first and last rally for women that the next government is likely to do when it comes in. I will be opposing the Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael nominee for Taoiseach, whenever they decide to put one forward. They are the parties that do not care that young people are leaving this country in droves, along with...
