National Famine Commemoration Day Bill 2017: Second Stage [Private Members] (21 Feb 2017)

Peadar Tóibín: I welcome wholeheartedly the introduction of this Bill. It deals with something that we in Sinn Féin have been working on for a long time. I welcome Fine Gael's conversion to this logical reform. However, it strikes me as a little strange in these days of new politics that the Minister's Government refused to run with an identical Bill I put before the Dáil in December and...

Joint Standing Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Islands: Gaeilge sa Státseirbhís (21 Feb 2017)

Peadar Tóibín: Tá brón orm go raibh mé déanach. Molaim an chuid is mó atá cloiste agam ón bhfinné. I gcónaí sa tír seo, nuair a bhíonn an Ghaeilge á phlé, go háirithe sna meáin, bíonn na meáin ag cruthú an saghas atmaisféir nach bhfuil éileamh ann agus go bhfuil an Stát ag brú an teanga siar...

Joint Standing Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Islands: Gaeilge sa Státseirbhís (21 Feb 2017)

Peadar Tóibín: Tá sé suimiúil mar luaigh an tUasal Ó Dónaill ina chur i láthair go raibh ceist Dála ann, a phléadh ar tuairisc.ie, faoin méid post.

Establishment of a Tribunal of Inquiry: Motion (16 Feb 2017)

Peadar Tóibín: I will make a couple of points. Gene Kerrigan, in a tweet about the smearing of Maurice McCabe, stated, "Of all the files in all the world, a serious allegation accidentally falls into the file labelled Sgt McCabe". We know that the Director of Public Prosecutions decided there was insufficient evidence to proceed to a court case regarding the initial allegation made against Maurice McCabe....

Brexit and Special Designation for the North: Motion [Private Members] (15 Feb 2017)

Peadar Tóibín: The people of the North have the right to be Irish citizens. Hundreds of thousands in the North today are Irish citizens and the number is growing. This makes them EU citizens and the responsibility of the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade. In a few short years, these Irish and EU citizens will be stranded under an increasingly isolated London Government. The foundation stone for the...

North-South Interconnector: Motion [Private Members] (14 Feb 2017)

Peadar Tóibín: Fine Gael seeks to construct the North-South interconnector overground imminently. The purpose of the interconnector is to link the electricity markets in the North. We, in Sinn Féin, support an interconnector and an all-Ireland energy market but we only support it if it goes underground. The pigheaded will to proceed with this interconnector overground has delayed the construction by...

Clarification of Statements made by the Taoiseach and Ministers: Statements (Resumed) (14 Feb 2017)

Peadar Tóibín: It is very significant that the Taoiseach stonewalled the question on when he first knew of the false allegations because to answer that question would require him to change his narrative on the issue again. Such was the importance of the Tusla revelations that the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs apparently decided it would be best to leave to chance its inclusion in the terms of...
