- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Special Educational Needs (4 Nov 2025)
Thomas Gould: The question here is whether the Minister of State, the principal, the board of management and the parents are satisfied that the concerns about a reduction in teaching hours for pupils have been addressed and that there is 100% certainty that there will be no such reduction? As the Minister of State knows, St. Gabriel’s is a specialist school that deals with children with some of the...

- Electricity (Supply) (Amendment) Bill 2025: Second Stage (4 Nov 2025)
Thomas Gould: We believe that price legislation should work for the ordinary person and our amendments look to deliver on that. This is about people's quality of life. This is about people not being afraid. Can the Minister of State imagine being afraid to turn on the electricity or the heating?

- Committee on Public Petitions and the Ombudsmen: Petition on Pearse House Regeneration (4 Nov 2025)
Thomas Gould: I have a huge issue with that. It has a negative effect on the community, the people living there and the children. This is the environment they are growing up in. People are making decisions that have a dramatic impact on the lives of residents and their families. The Chair is correct that Dublin City Council should come before the committee. I also think the Minister should come to...
