Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (22 May 2025)

Peadar Tóibín: Calling it correcting homework is an understatement. I think the Tánaiste knows that, given that we could literally spend a full day with a litany of examples of overspending and waste across the whole range of the delivery of public services. Inertia, waste and blame-shifting are the characteristics of this Government. These are serious issues. Why? It is not only because it is...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (22 May 2025)

Peadar Tóibín: I listened to the Tánaiste give Pearse Doherty an answer with regard to the national children's hospital. He was like an under-pressure estate agent furiously trying to sell an overpriced, extortionate and exorbitant hospital to an increasingly angry population at the moment. Nobody is arguing about the quality of the hospital; we are arguing about the price and the length of time it...

Civil Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2022 (Section 9(2)) (Amount of Financial Contribution) Order 2025: Motion (21 May 2025)

Peadar Tóibín: This is one of the areas where there is a large chasm between where the people of Ireland are and where the political establishment in Leinster House sits.

My colleague, Deputy Collins, is right that it is not about numbers, but it is about...
