Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (16 Sep 2021)

Pearse Doherty: Tá an scannal mica go fóill ag tarlú agus teaghlaigh agus úinéir tí ag fanacht le scéal. Thug an Rialtas gealltanas dóibh i mí an Mheithimh go mbeidh cúiteamh 100% le fáil acu. Táimid i lár mhí Mheán Fómhair agus níl soiléiriú ar bith faighte acu. On 15 June, thousands of homeowners and families...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (16 Sep 2021)

Pearse Doherty: Gabhaim buíochas leis an Tánaiste for his response. I listened closely to what he said about finding a solution and an enhanced scheme. Allow me to speak about the commitment he made to those families and the working group in 2018. The Tánaiste said there should be parity with the pyrite scheme. That is what is fair and that is 100% redress. In June, the Tánaiste...

[44391/21]

Freedom of Information: Motion [Private Members] (15 Sep 2021)

Pearse Doherty: I welcome this motion. I commend Deputy Mairéad Farrell on the work she has done on this issue and also on the lobbying Bill. Stalling that Bill for nine months was ridiculous. What was the purpose of it? SIPO has been looking for those powers for years. The Government has not delivered. Its predecessors in government have not delivered. Deputy Mairéad Farrell and I have...

Confidence in Minister for Foreign Affairs and Defence: Motion (15 Sep 2021)

Pearse Doherty: It is not the handling; it is what the Minister did.

Confidence in Minister for Foreign Affairs and Defence: Motion (15 Sep 2021)

Confidence in Minister for Foreign Affairs and Defence: Motion (15 Sep 2021)

Pearse Doherty: Address the issue.

Confidence in Minister for Foreign Affairs and Defence: Motion (15 Sep 2021)

Pearse Doherty: There has been a great effort here this evening on behalf of the Government to divert attention from the core issue. We heard some of that tune played just a moment ago. Let me remind Members that the last time there was a similar controversy surrounding a Fine Gael Minister of using his influence to do favours for his friend, it was the Tánaiste. When he leaked a confidential...

Pearse Doherty: As we are dealing with the Order of Business for this week, I ask, given the comments of the Taoiseach, that the Minister make himself available and that it be arranged for tomorrow.

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (15 Sep 2021)

Pearse Doherty: I think we can sit a bit longer but that is up to the Ceann Comhairle and the other members of the Business Committee. A Minister has misled the House and the public after being corrected by Deputy Ó Broin and by a statement of the Central Bank. It needs to be dealt with in the House.

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (15 Sep 2021)

Pearse Doherty: It is just a statement of fact. It is not-----

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (15 Sep 2021)

Pearse Doherty: I have no problem withdrawing the accusation of lying but the substance of the matter is that the Minister did mislead the House. I stand over that. The serious question is whether the Taoiseach is again going to turn a blind eye just as he has with everything else. Is he actually going to lead in government? This cannot go on.

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (15 Sep 2021)

Pearse Doherty: Has the Central Bank approved it?

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (15 Sep 2021)

Pearse Doherty: Can I get clarification on whether the Business Committee can now meet to arrange for the Minister, Deputy Darragh O'Brien, to come before the House? It is a very serious issue, as it always has been, for a Minister to mislead the House. He has also misled the public in repeating the accusation on "Prime Time".

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (15 Sep 2021)

Pearse Doherty: On the point Deputy O'Callaghan raised, it is important the Minister with responsibility for housing comes before this House. It is important we get to the bottom of why the Minister has misled the House about a flawed scheme, about which the senior civil servant in the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform said it was being lobbied by developers because it would line their pockets and...
