Pearse Doherty: I echo the Leas-Cheann Comhairle's sentiments and thank everybody for their assistance over what was a challenging time for all workplaces but no less for the Dáil as we operate in two different sites.

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (15 Jul 2021)

Pearse Doherty: I welcome the Tánaiste's comments on my legislation. He has said before that it was a sensible idea. We have translated that into legislation and it has passed Second Stage.

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Summer Economic Statement: Minister for Finance and Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform (15 Jul 2021)

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Summer Economic Statement: Minister for Finance and Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform (15 Jul 2021)

Pearse Doherty: Others will look at what the Minister has said and, more importantly, what he has not said. Successive Ministers for Finance were willing to say that they would not increase the 12.5% tax rate.
