Cian O'Callaghan: I thank the Construction Defects Alliance and the other speakers for coming in. I also want to thank the Construction Defects Alliance for all the work they have done. I know this is very stressful and challenging for everybody involved. One of the lessons from this matter is that we need much stronger regulation, enforcement and licensing in the industry and that there must be...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: European Council Meetings (26 Nov 2020)

Cian O'Callaghan: I thank the Minister for the answer. The sixth round of negotiations on this took place in Geneva recently. While Ireland may have been represented in the room, if one counts that as participation, Ireland did not engage in the process and Ireland did not speak up on this. Ireland was silent on it. It is the case that the EU does not have an agreed mandate on this yet and I believe that...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: European Council Meetings (26 Nov 2020)

Cian O'Callaghan: I am a little concerned about the talk of a compromise position because what was already agreed with the European Parliament was, in effect, a compromise position. It is a limited provision. It is important that we stand firm on the very limited provisions agreed given the attacks on press freedom, the independence of the judiciary, civil society organisations and the LGBT community,...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: EU Budgets (26 Nov 2020)

Cian O'Callaghan: I agree with the Minister that we need to find a way forward on this. For a decade, we have seen the undermining of democratic and human rights in parts of the European Union.

They are as much of a...
