Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (5 May 2022)

Pearse Doherty: The Minister did not answer my questions. I asked why the Sisters of Charity and St. Vincent's cannot gift this land to the State. It is as simple as that.

Does he agree with the statement...

Finance (Covid-19 and Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2022: Report and Final Stages (4 May 2022)

Pearse Doherty: It is no reflection on the Leas-Cheann Comhairle. I understand the fact the amendments were directly opposite to each other. This is a missed opportunity for the Government and, indeed, this House to do the right thing. We have a serious problem right across the board, in every village and every community, where families are hard-pressed as a result of the cost-of-living crisis. The...

Pearse Doherty: I want to reflect on sections 5 to 10, inclusive.

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Stability Programme Update 2022: Minister for Finance (4 May 2022)

Pearse Doherty: My apologies, I was in the Dáil dealing with the Finance (Covid-19 and Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2022. If my questions are repetitive, I can look at the blacks. This is the first time I have seen the Minister since the passing of his mother so I want to sympathise with him and his family. I hope they are all keeping well in these difficult times. We are here to discuss the SPU,...
