Statute Law Revision Bill 2024: Second Stage (26 Mar 2025)

Sinéad Gibney: I wish to first call out the key role the Law Reform Commission has played in bringing this Bill before us. Its work is not normally or necessarily headline-grabbing but represents a vital and painstaking role in keeping our law under review and researching law with a view to reform.

Triple Lock Mechanism and Irish Neutrality: Motion [Private Members] (26 Mar 2025)

Sinéad Gibney: I will pick up on some of the points made by the Minister of State and his colleague, the Minister of State, Deputy Byrne.

I believe this was about Operation Althea. He did not finish the story. There was no veto. He...
