An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (28 May 2024)

Duncan Smith: We need a debate and legislation on ethics in public office. This is long overdue. We are nearly a decade on from the Mahon tribunal. Ethics are not optional extras. We have now had another example of "go away" money from a developer given to, in this case, a candidate in the local elections from the Taoiseach's party. I know the candidate in question has said she is suspending her...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (28 May 2024)

Jennifer Whitmore: We need a debate on climate targets and how we will deal with our emissions in this Dáil. Today, for the second year in a row, the Environmental Protection Agency has said that even if the Government implements all its policies, it will still meet only 29% of the reductions it is meant to meet, as opposed to the 51% target. What we see from this Government is spin over action. As...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (28 May 2024)

Richard Boyd Barrett: A number of weeks ago, the Housing Commission the Taoiseach set up issued a damning report about the failure of Government policy to address the absolutely dire housing and homelessness crisis. We have been asking since then for a debate on that report. We were led to understand last week that such a debate would take place, yet it is not on the schedule for this week. Given the absolute...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (28 May 2024)

Mattie McGrath: I raised again last week the migration treaty not being scheduled for debate here today. We tried on the Business Committee to have it included. There is time on the schedule, so the Government is deliberately hiding and burying the migration pact until after the local and European elections because it is getting it on the chin everywhere. It is the same situation with the hate speech...

Paul Murphy: No, they have not.

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (28 May 2024)

Mattie McGrath: We have a situation now in Clonmel, Carrick-on-Suir and Dundrum House Hotel, which was housing Ukrainians, with 60 international protection applicants going in there now as well. All over the country, in every town, village and hamlet, this is going on and the Government will not debate it in this House. We have had two debates thanks to our Private Members' time, one lot of statements and...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (28 May 2024)

Simon Harris: I have been briefed on the incident which took place in the north inner city this morning. I understand An Garda Síochána has made an arrest. I thank An Garda Síochána for its swift and effective response to this incident, but I am also sure that people who were in that area, particularly children who witnessed this, would be very distressed. Thankfully, nobody came to...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (28 May 2024)

Catherine Connolly: We have come to the point where we are recognising the State of Palestine, where there is very little left to recognise except the determination of the Palestinian people. Palestine has been bombed practically out of existence. The International Court of Justice last week issued a very strong order and Israel completely ignored that. Over the weekend, they dropped a 2,000 lb bomb supplied...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (28 May 2024)

Simon Harris: It is the clear position of President von der Leyen that she wishes to see an immediate ceasefire in the Middle East. That is the clear position of Ursula von der Leyen, although Deputy Pringle can shake his head if he wishes. It is the clear position of the conclusions of the April European Council; I was at it and the Deputy was not there.

Richard Boyd Barrett: She gave the green light for the genocide.

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (28 May 2024)

Simon Harris: The ability of Irish people to not be misinformed or misdirected on the position of the European Council, including the President of the European Commission, is important because there is enough misinformation out there at the moment. We need to see an immediate ceasefire and we need to see practical actions to help bring that about. What I have said on behalf of Ireland at the European...

Seán Ó Fearghaíl: I call Deputy McDonald.

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (28 May 2024)

Mary Lou McDonald: I want to raise again the issue of safety in Dublin city centre. Sadly, today, we have had another incident on Parnell Square where children have been left frightened and traumatised. People who live in the inner city of Dublin and its communities are sick and tired of the ongoing antisocial behaviour and the sense of threat and dread, sick and tired of the lack of support and services,...

Catherine Connolly: I will finish. In the month after 7 October, the General Secretary of the United Nations told us that Gaza was becoming a graveyard for children and that the nightmare in Gaza was more than a humanitarian crisis; it was a crisis of humanity. Yesterday, he affirmed that there was no safe place in Gaza, demanding that the horror must stop. I apologise for going over time.

Simon Harris: I thank the Deputy for raising the issue of Palestine and the horrific humanitarian catastrophe that continues to unfold. I acknowledge that her welcome for the fact that this is a proud day for Ireland in recognising the State of Palestine. I also recognise that this is very much something on which the people have led. I very much hear that as I go around the country as I meet people....
