Thomas Pringle: I am thankful for the opportunity to speak on the motion. I pay tribute to People Before Profit for bringing it forward, rather than the Social Democrats.

Neutrality and the Triple Lock: Motion [Private Members] (29 May 2024)

Danny Healy-Rae: I am glad to be here for this very important debate. I support this motion because the people are totally annoyed with what the Government is doing.

I ask them to hold a...
