- Pride: Statements (16 Jul 2025)
Grace Boland: I am here in solidarity and in celebration, but also in concern. Pride is not just a parade, a flag or a month on the calendar. It is the living legacy of generations who fought for dignity, freedom and equality. The rights they fought for were so hard won, but as we have seen across Europe and beyond, those rights are frighteningly easy to lose. This year marks ten years since Ireland...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport: Irish Aviation Authority: Engagement (16 Jul 2025)
Grace Boland: I thank the witnesses for coming in today. I am a TD for Dublin Fingal West so Dublin Airport is in my constituency. It is fantastic that we have such a facility in our constituency.

I want to get a general understanding about...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport: Irish Aviation Authority: Engagement (16 Jul 2025)
Grace Boland: A lot of my constituents would complain that aeroplanes are banking very quickly once they take off. I was on a flight recently that banked almost immediately after take-off. My constituents would say that this is not what was agreed in terms of the environmental impact. It is difficult to understand whether that is the case and whether they have legitimate concerns that all of the...

We were also travelling with my small children. My mother was to...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport: Irish Aviation Authority: Engagement (16 Jul 2025)
