Ceisteanna - Questions: An Garda Síochána (19 May 2021)

Bríd Smith: The Taoiseach's statement looked very much at the policing service of the future but in order to make reforms for the future we must also look at the past, and at the record of GSOC in particular. Sinn Féin has already referred to the inquiry on behalf of the family of Shane O'Farrell. I want to talk about two other outstanding issues on behalf of families. When someone dies either in...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (19 May 2021)

Bríd Smith: I thank the Taoiseach for his report. I note that he did not mention any discussions on climate change. Yesterday, the International Energy Agency gave its starkest warning yet.

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: School Meals Programme (19 May 2021)

Bríd Smith: I have a question about Mary Queen of Angels Schools 1 and 2 in Ballyfermot which share the same campus. Both applied for the hot meals scheme.

Ballymurphy Inquest: Statements (18 May 2021)

Bríd Smith: After a long and difficult campaign, the Ballymurphy massacre families have been vindicated at last. It was moving to see their relief and joy. The Irish State, Government and media were all over them last week, but where were they for the decades the families were knocking on their doors seeking justice? It made me think about how most states will cover up events to which they do not want...
