- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (25 Jun 2024)
Mary Lou McDonald: We know how profound these issues are. We need to see real leadership. We need to see collective leadership, but there is a particular onus on the Taoiseach as leader of the Government in that regard.

Simon Harris: There absolutely is. It is one I take very seriously. It is a responsibility I do not shirk from at all. To touch on some of the issues the Deputy raised, in the case of an enlisted member of the Defence Forces, I am told that, following a conviction where imprisonment or a suspended sentence is awarded or an appeal has been heard or not submitted, the process for discharge commences upon...

Simon Harris: I thank the Ceann Comhairle. At his invitation, I want to begin by acknowledging the passing of Mícheál Ó Muircheartaigh. It is with the heaviest of hearts that I, like people across this country, today learned of his death. The word "legend" gets used too often in Ireland but, for Mícheál, it is a word that is almost not good enough. His voice, his colour, his...

Seán Ó Fearghaíl: We will now take Leaders' Questions under Standing Order 36 but just before we came into the House we heard the sad news that the legendary, iconic figure Mícheál Ó Muircheartaigh has died. Leaders will want to avail of an opportunity to pay tribute to him so we will add a minute to each leader's slot for that purpose. I know everybody in the House wants to extend to his...

Mary Lou McDonald: As the Ceann Comhairle has said, I extend our deepest sympathy to the family, friends and loved ones of Mícheál Ó Muircheartaigh, a man who it is fair to say can only be described as a legend of Irish life. He was the voice of the GAA and what a tonal voice he had. His voice will forever be associated with long, hot summer afternoons and the hopes and expectations of so many....

- Mortgage Interest Rates Cap Bill 2023: Second Stage [Private Members] (20 Jun 2024)
Richard Boyd Barrett: I thank those who contributed to the discussion. While the new deputy leader of Fianna Fáil was terribly polite in his response, the net interpretation of what he said is really that the Government is not going to do anything and will let the free market decide. Lola, who I mentioned earlier on, is paying €900 a month, or €10,000 or €11,000 a year, more than she...
- Mortgage Interest Rates Cap Bill 2023: Second Stage [Private Members] (20 Jun 2024)
Louise O'Reilly: I thank Deputy Boyd Barrett for bringing this legislation before the Dáil. Workers and families have seen a sharp, sudden and significant increase in their mortgage costs since 2022. Since the European Central Bank first increased its key interest rates in July of that year, average mortgage interest costs have increased by a whopping 70%. For so many, these increases have been...
- Mortgage Interest Rates Cap Bill 2023: Second Stage [Private Members] (20 Jun 2024)
Jack Chambers: I again thank Deputies for speaking to the Bill. I also thank Deputy Boyd Barrett for bringing it to the House. We are all acutely aware of the high mortgage repayments currently faced by some mortgage holders and the stress and hardship this causes for families. The Government has undertaken a number of initiatives, including measures in the budget, to help people impacted by the rise in...
