- Electoral Reform Bill 2022: Report and Final Stages (15 Jun 2022)
Pearse Doherty: Thank you, a Leas-Cheann Comhairle, and forgive me. I cannot believe what I have just witnessed. The Minister of State has said he has no comment. Deputy Carthy hit the nail on the head. This has deviated from the pre-prepared script. Can the Minister of State not be his own person from his own party and deal with this issue? Specific questions were put to the Minister of State....

Pearse Doherty: The Ceann Comhairle dealt with it, in fairness.
- Electoral Reform Bill 2022: Report and Final Stages (15 Jun 2022)
Pearse Doherty: There are a couple of things that need to be said. We heard a defence from our Fianna Fáil colleague, asking what is wrong with his "mother and father each putting €50 into a Fianna Fáil raffle". He suggested that this is about raffles, draws and all the rest. That is fine and there is nothing wrong with that. If someone's mum wants to give them €50, first, she...
- Electoral Reform Bill 2022: Report and Final Stages (15 Jun 2022)
Pearse Doherty: I am very surprised at the Minister of State being sucked into this stroke and I am shocked at his statement because this is a new avenue of funding for political parties and he should acknowledge that. Lottery permits are allowed. Indeed, individuals and businesses can apply for lottery permits but the key difference is that to get a lottery permit you do not go to court. You get it...

- Electoral Reform Bill 2022: Instruction to Committee (15 Jun 2022)
Pearse Doherty: I am just giving the House the rationale for this in 30 seconds. Given the fact that the Taoiseach has failed to clarify how Fianna Fáil operated an unlawful lottery last year raising €500,000, Sinn Fein will not participate with this stroke at this point in time.

Pearse Doherty: Next Saturday, supporters will be travelling to Dublin from Derry, Clare and Cork to watch their county teams play in the all-Ireland quarter finals. They will be faced with rip-off prices in the city next weekend. Hotels are charging more than €400 per night and hostels are charging eye-watering rates for bunk beds. One hostel is charging €167 for the pleasure of sleeping in...

Pearse Doherty: Tá daoine ag cur síos ar an ngéarchéim tithíochta mar an tubaiste is mó inár n-am agus tá an ceart acu. Tá córas tithíochta tógtha ag Rialtas Fhine Gael agus Fhianna Fáil do na creach-chistí agus tá na gnáthdhaoine fágtha ar an leataobh. Tá iompar níos fearr tuillte ag daoine sa Phoblacht seo....
