Ruairí Ó Murchú: I ask him the Minister of State to come back to me in writing on where that is. Obviously it is very positive. We all want to have schemes that are fit for purpose.

Vacant Council Housing: Motion [Private Members] (10 Jun 2025)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: I do not know how many times I have come in here and spoken about housing. It is almost a single transferable speech although previously I might have said that things were not getting better but now it is very obvious for anyone to see that things are getting a lot worse. I have no doubt that the Minister and his Government colleagues have the same types of cases as those coming to my...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Northern Ireland (29 May 2025)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: Up to 25 people, including British state agents, could be linked to this murder. We know that surveillance was lifted for agents under surveillance. We know there are a significant number of issues regarding absolute collusion. I agree with what was said earlier. This was British state policy in Ireland. It was a matter of taking out Irish citizens. We commend the family of Sean Brown,...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Trade Agreements (29 May 2025)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: The Tánaiste has indicated that we will have some element of clarification by the end of quarter 2 as to what the agreement looks like but we still do not have clarity as to how agreement is to be determined. The Tánaiste is promising the State will be resolute in the sense of what we understand this agreement to be. Mercosur is utterly unacceptable and I cannot see how there will...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Trade Agreements (29 May 2025)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: I ask the Tánaiste to outline his engagements and position regarding the Mercosur trade agreement. We know the issues that exist for Irish farmers in this regard.

We are talking about this in the...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Trade Agreements (29 May 2025)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: The Tánaiste is well aware of the fears in rural Ireland and particularly among farmers. I was worried when we had that briefing in the AV room where it was stated that, to a degree, all deals were done.

Ruairí Ó Murchú: In the West Bank, people face regular slaughter and what is modern-day colonisation and land grabbing. In Gaza, the Palestinians are facing wipeout. Time is not on our side.

Those conversations would need to be...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Middle East (29 May 2025)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: Yes. I have already brought up this particular issue. The Tánaiste is going to be dealing with the issue of services until we see delivery. The timeline is vital. I agree with Deputy Murphy. The Tánaiste has to elaborate to some degree on what the legal issues are. It cannot be beyond us to find a solution in order that we can deliver the occupied territories Bill as soon as...
