Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Ukraine War (1 Apr 2025)

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: Since we last had questions here, we had the third anniversary of the vicious war of aggression by Russia, under Vladimir Putin, against Ukraine.

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Foreign Conflicts (1 Apr 2025)

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: It is vitally important the international community uses every lever possible to put pressure on for the resumption of the ceasefire, to stop the hostilities, and for the release of the hostages. I suppose we are back to this issue time and again. Unfortunately, we are back to dealing with the consequences of the Israeli Government feeling as if it can act with impunity. That is why the...

Support for Householders, Businesses and Farmers Affected by Storm Éowyn: Motion [Private Members] (1 Apr 2025)

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: I commend the motion brought forward by Deputy O'Reilly. The point has been clearly made that there is great frustration at the rate of payout under the humanitarian assistance scheme. In my county of Cork, of the 102 claims made, only 19 were paid out, which is a similar rate to the rest of the country. For those affected, it is far too slow and a cause of great frustration. There are...
