Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (5 Nov 2020)

Pearse Doherty: I want to raise an issue but first let me make this point. It is not a joke. When somebody requests an official secret document from the Tánaiste and he decides to destroy or delete that record and not pass it on to his Department, it is not a joke. I just want to make that point. It is not finished yet. We need those records released: the contract the Minister, Deputy Simon Harris,...

Pearse Doherty: Le cúplá lá anuas, tá admhaithe ag an Tánaiste gur thug sé cáipéis rúnda dá chara ina raibh 130 leathanach agus achan cheann dóibh marcáilte mar rúnda agus nach raibh cead ann é a thabhairt d'aon duine. Tá a fhios againn, agus ag madraí an bhaile, anois go raibh an rud a rinne an Tánaiste contráilte ach...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (5 Nov 2020)

Pearse Doherty: Somebody requesting a confidential document is an official request to the Taoiseach. The Tánaiste was the Taoiseach at the time. It falls under the Freedom of Information Act and it is very clear. There has been a judgment in relation to this in the past. Therefore, it is an official record. There was not just one communication the Tánaiste had with Dr. Ó Tuathail in...

Finance Bill 2020: Second Stage (4 Nov 2020)

Pearse Doherty: In finishing his speech, the Minister indicated his hope that the Bill could be discussed and scrutinised in the normal constructive way.

We have asked for these documents which are all covered by freedom of information to be released in order...

General Practitioner Contract: Statements (3 Nov 2020)

Pearse Doherty: I am not even going to go there because it is ridiculous that the Tánaiste is suggesting that he decided to take it on himself, with no engagement all through the process, to give a confidential document to a friend and this was supposedly fulfilling a Government commitment.
