Thomas Pringle: It is bewildering the amount of hype and positivity there is on the Government benches at the local election results which have delivered to the Government net seat losses overall. The Government is entitled to celebrate, and I say, "Fair play to you". Political squabbling will go on between Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael, and them and Sinn Féin and so on, but, in Donegal, Fianna...

Simon Harris: I thank Deputy Pringle for raising this issue. I know this has been extraordinarily tough and difficult. Those words do not fully capture the struggle and the stress that many families living in the Deputy's county and some other counties have been dealing with as a result of the loss and destruction of their homes due to defective blocks. We have worked very hard on this issue as a...

Paul Murphy: The Taoiseach said his party is not a nasty party. His party has chosen, with Fianna Fáil and the Green Party, shamefully, to give €100,000 to private companies to clear tents, which arrive back the next day, put up fences to block access to our city and to leave people sleeping in tents on our streets. Nobody should be sleeping in a tent on our streets. It is a cynical policy...

- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (11 Jun 2024)
Paul Murphy: I certainly will. When we talk to people, most people are actually open to hearing that and they can be won to that argument and know it is the Government's responsibility. They want there to be a real alternative-----

Simon Harris: It is always interesting when the Dáil reconvenes after an election and people decide to present the election results in whatever way suits them. All I know is that more people went out and voted for my party than any other party. More people went out and gave Fianna Fáil seats in the local elections than any other party. Many people voted for the Green Party. The people on this...

Paul Murphy: I thank all the People Before Profit activists who stood for election and campaigned for our candidates and all those people who voted for us. We plan to use our increased council representation to fight for working class people across this country. Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil are looking pretty pleased with themselves today. I think the Taoiseach said that Fine Gael did better in these...

Paul Murphy: One crucial fact that should be mentioned is that Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael combined had the lowest percentage vote in the history of the State in local elections. Their vote share dropped. They did not have a better election. They had a worse election. Their parties are still deeply unpopular.
