An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (4 Mar 2025)

Gary Gannon: I watched the Taoiseach on "The Late Late Show" on Friday evening when, in his rush to defend the unjustifiable, he made a comparison between the deal he struck behind closed doors with Michael Lowry and the deal made between one of his predecessors and Tony Gregory in 1982. I will be very clear: the Gregory deal of 1982 was published. It was there for all to see. The public knew exactly...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (4 Mar 2025)

Gary Gannon: We know what happens with Michael Lowry behind closed doors because we have reams and reams of a tribunal report, a report that uses words such as "insidious" and "profoundly corrupt". Do you know what word it does not use? It does not say "altruistic". There is nothing about making deals and expecting nothing in return. The Taoiseach must step back from the precipice because we are...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (27 Feb 2025)

Gary Gannon: The game is up. The pretence that this Government values cross-party collaboration has been clearly exposed as a sham.

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (27 Feb 2025)

Gary Gannon: Given the chance to work with the Opposition on Dáil reform, the Government preferred the nuclear option, ramming through its undemocratic proposals on Dáil reform at the 11th hour, all to deliver a grubby little deal for Deputy Michael Lowry and his band of Independents. It makes us and the public wonder what exactly is the leverage that Deputy Lowry has on Fine Gael and Fianna...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (27 Feb 2025)

Gary Gannon: Like all grubby little deals, this deal was done behind closed doors and we may never know the details. The Tánaiste made a commitment in this Chamber. Both he and the Taoiseach gave solemn commitments that they would work across the Chamber, collaboratively, in respect of any Dáil reform. That very clearly lies in tatters. Who can forget other promises? The previous Government...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (27 Feb 2025)

Gary Gannon: I will take that back. It was another con trotted out just to give this idea to the public of who the Government is. What it does in private is completely different. Very clearly, the Opposition cannot trust this Government. I want to talk about another issue. It has been clearly flagged that the Government is going to bring forward a proposal to remove the triple lock. That proposal...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (27 Feb 2025)

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (27 Feb 2025)

Gary Gannon: You have no mandate.

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (27 Feb 2025)

Gary Gannon: The facts speak for themselves. The Government's credibility has been shattered. We speak of mandates. Each of us stood before the electorate a mere two months ago. Had that electorate known that the Tánaiste would be making grubby little deals that change the nature by which the Government would be able to correct its own homework, I doubt anybody would buy into it. That is what we...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (27 Feb 2025)

Gary Gannon: We asked for specifics. The Tánaiste knows well that we hear a lot about UN Security Council vetoes. The reality is that it has only happened once, more than 20 years ago. The law was clarified in 2006 to help to address that specific situation. It is in the Defence (Amendment) Act 2006. It has not stopped Irish peacekeepers from participating in missions. The UN needs reform but...
