Ceisteanna - Questions: Departmental Functions (9 Feb 2022)

Peadar Tóibín: Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael present themselves as parties of the free market. In many ways both parties have skewed the housing market significantly. A young family looking to buy a house needs to compete with an institution that has a tax regime not comparable to the young family's. It may pay no tax, but certainly pays a very small amount compared with the family it is competing...

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (9 Feb 2022)

Peadar Tóibín: The Limerick Treaty Suicide Prevention team patrols the River Shannon at night to prevent suicide or accidental death but it is without a base. It has no building or location for operations and it is currently working out of a van. If somebody is suicidal, he or she clearly needs privacy and support when waiting for an ambulance. Such people need to be away from cameras and video devices....

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (9 Feb 2022)

Peadar Tóibín: Ten days ago the Taoiseach laid a wreath at the Bloody Sunday Memorial in Derry. At the time and since then the Taoiseach has indicated the families of those who were lost, who were murdered, on Bloody Sunday need to find justice. We are looking at the likelihood that there is going to be an amnesty. If there is an amnesty in the North of Ireland, it means there is no rule of law and that...

National Minimum Wage: Motion [Private Members] (9 Feb 2022)

Peadar Tóibín: It is important that as a State, we start to analyse what we are doing to respond to the cost of living. It is interesting that we are having this debate over the wages of people who are on the lowest level of income in the State, and the Government is pouring water on any opportunity to see those incomes rise. That is in stark contrast to the Government's attitude to the likes of Robert...

Peadar Tóibín: Sure. As for the relationship between Britain and Ireland, that relationship has reversed significantly in recent times. Britain actually started to take unilateral decisions with regards the relationship between the two countries. It would not be unusual for a participant of an agreement to state that they would seek to uphold that agreement up to the point of even using the courts to do...

Peadar Tóibín: The majority of the people in the North of Ireland voted for the Good Friday Agreement. Most polls show that a majority of people of the North support the protocol or could live with the protocol. The DUP is a minority party and unionism is now a minority political view in the North. I believe the DUP has put itself in a strategic cul-de-sac at the moment. At every juncture of Brexit, it...
