- Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (19 Jan 2023)
Pearse Doherty: This is a genuine point of order relating to the ordering of the House. It is important that Deputies know what is before us. I understand all Opposition parties requested a question-and-answer session with the Minister, Deputy Donohoe, later this afternoon. It is appropriate that Deputies would be informed whether the Order of the House is going to be altered and whether what was...

Pearse Doherty: Do we take it that the Minister has not requested that?
- Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (19 Jan 2023)
Pearse Doherty: In fairness, with respect we all have staff, and the Minister has more staff than many of us to send an email looking to make a statement before the House. It is appropriate that this is facilitated today and that there is a question-and-answer session.
- Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (19 Jan 2023)
Pearse Doherty: It is completely and utterly unacceptable that the Minister is saying that he will not come before the House until next week. That is absolutely unacceptable.
- Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (19 Jan 2023)
Pearse Doherty: I note that the Minister has still not said whether he will answer questions. I note that.
- Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (19 Jan 2023)
Pearse Doherty: I do, but I want to make the point that the Minister has said he will not come before the House until next week. The Opposition has requested that he answer questions in a question-and-answer session, but he still has not indicated that he is willing to do that. In the middle of a scandal, that is a valid point to make.
- Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (19 Jan 2023)
Pearse Doherty: With respect, our party has written to the Business Committee and asked for you to convene the Business Committee to facilitate today a question-and-answer session with the Minister who is in the middle of an almighty controversy and is in serious trouble. I ask you, as Ceann Comhairle, to facilitate that request today.

- Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (19 Jan 2023)
Pearse Doherty: Following on from some of the questions from other colleagues, the programme for Government commits to a target of 8,000 ha of afforestation per year. The Minister is nowhere near achieving that. In fact, the Government reached just 30% of the target last year. The crisis in the sector has become worse since the Government came into office. As we have learned, Coillte now intends to join...

Pearse Doherty: Did you ask him about the 2020 posters? You are not interested.
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (19 Jan 2023)
Pearse Doherty: Tá an tAire, an Teachta Donohoe, i lár conspóide mar gheall gur briseadh rialacha síntiúis thoghcháin. In olltoghchán 2016, fuair an tAire, an Teachta Donohoe, síntiús polaitíochta ó fhear gnó nár fhógair sé agus bhí sé os cionn an méid atá ceadaithe faoin dlí. Tá an cheist seo á...
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (19 Jan 2023)
Pearse Doherty: Just like the Minister, the Tánaiste did not answer any of my questions. There is a bit of a pattern here. Let us be clear about this. Deputy Donohoe is the Minister who oversees the SIPO legislation. SIPO has been begging for additional powers and the Minister has refused those on a number of occasions. The matter is serious. There was a donation. In fairness, the Fianna...
