Seán Canney: I welcome the opportunity to speak on this important issue. It is tough for everybody to try to grapple with what happened in the past.

It included a timeframe requirement whereby people had to have spent six months in a mother and baby home before...

Acknowledgement and Apology to the Families and to the Victims of the Stardust Tragedy: Statements (23 Apr 2024) See 2 other results from this debate

Catherine Connolly: I think I am the final contributor. The Taoiseach gave a fulsome address and apology, which is to be welcomed. However, this apology will only be meaningful if it determines the next steps and if it examines how we got into this position. The Taoiseach has talked about how the institutions of the State let the people down. They did a lot more than that; they actively contrived to prevent...

Mary Lou McDonald: Today, the name on the Taoiseach's office door changed for the third time in four years, but nothing has really changed for workers and families. How could it? This Government was formed to block the change that people voted for in the most recent general election. Fianna Fáil, Fine Gael and the Green Party clubbed together to ensure that the hopeful votes of so many for something new...

Taoiseach a Ainmniú - Nomination of Taoiseach (9 Apr 2024)

Richard Boyd Barrett: ..., the new Harris regime is suggesting it is going to renege on a promise to give additional sick leave to workers in order to back the interests of big business.
