- 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....

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Long-Duration Energy Storage: Discussion (25 Jun 2024)
Brian Leddin: I thank the Deputy. A lot of my questions have been addressed at this point. I am curious about the role of renewable developers and operators in the development of long-duration storage. Obviously, there is an incentive there, for anyone who is in that space, to be able to send the power somewhere to put it back into the grid at a later date. Does Energy Storage Ireland have members who...
