Eoghan Kenny: This is unbelievable. I will move on. I am running out of questions now, nearly. I will ask about the fingerprint system within An Garda Síochána. The Secretary General is not the Accounting Officer and that is fine but is the Department of justice aware of the annual cost of maintaining the system?

Eoghan Kenny: Back in 2016, those operating the system gave stark warnings, coupled with those of the vendor and of former Commissioner Harris. Were those disregarded by Department officials?

Eoghan Kenny: My understanding is Commissioner Harris, along with the vendor and those operating the fingerprint system, raised serious concerns about the system and that they were disregarded by Department officials, in relation to wanting to purchase a new system, which would have cost around €20 million.

Eoghan Kenny: Following an appearance at the justice committee, the Garda said €40 million has been spent on keeping that system since 2017 and that 17,000 fingerprints had disappeared from the system. Is the Department aware of that?

Fisheries: Statements (22 Oct 2025)

Eoghan Kenny: As a first time TD, I meet many people across many different sectors. Meeting those people, particularly volunteers in various groups and organisations, and learning from them is possibly one of the best parts of this job. In August this year, fisheries, the importance of fish, wildlife and our rivers landed on my desk. To be totally honest with everyone in this House, I knew very little...

Men's Health: Statements (22 Oct 2025)

Eoghan Kenny: Men's health deserves serious attention in this House. Across Ireland, men are struggling with mental health, access to care and a culture that too often tells them to stay silent. I must commend the good work of Pieta House, the Samaritans, Men's Aid and the Irish Men's Shed Association and the fantastic work it does for men struggling with mental health, loneliness and exclusion. Words...

Men's Health: Statements (22 Oct 2025)

While I agree with the Minister of State, Deputy Butler, I must also highlight the...
