Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Flood Relief (23 Nov 2023)

Pat Buckley: The Civil Defence, the Garda, local councils and everybody else were amazing. It must be acknowledged that the emergency payments to households and businesses have been very well received. It is still a crap show down there at the moment. I will be lucky to have my office open for Christmas but it is only an office and people's homes, businesses and lives have been deeply affected. I...

Committee on Public Petitions: Consideration of Public Petition to Reopen Ennis, Nenagh and St. John's Emergency Departments: Discussion (16 Nov 2023)

Pat Buckley: The reason I let the other speakers go first is that it is their immediate area.

It is one of the strange committees because we try to get things done. Listening to the witnesses, there is nothing I...

Committee on Public Petitions: Decisions on Public Petitions Received (16 Nov 2023)

Pat Buckley: The Ombudsman's response is fairly in-depth. I think it will raise a few flags with the petitioners when they get the response to this. The fact that the reading of the Bill was put back for 12 months is actually slowing it down. The Government was more or less committed to trying to strengthen the delivery of services instead of reviewing the 2005 Act. I suspect that once the petitioner...

Escalation of Violence in Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territory: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (14 Nov 2023)

Pat Buckley: I am going to put a full stop here. It is as simple as this. We have to refer the Israeli Government to the ICC. I ask the Government to withdraw its amendment.

The statement continues, "The EU emphasizes that...
