Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (4 Oct 2023)

Gary Gannon: As the Taoiseach referred earlier to this with so much passion I thought I would ask more about it. I hold in my hand the North Inner City Local Community Safety Partnership document, which was released a couple of weeks ago. It has been two and a half years in the making. It was well heralded in advance that this would make a difference. This is 52 pages of what I consider constitutes...

An Garda Síochána: Motion [Private Members] (4 Oct 2023)

Gary Gannon: More than anything else, it is the hypocrisy that grates the most. The Taoiseach used the phrase again yesterday that Fine Gael uses repeatedly - "the party of law and order". It is almost Orwellian at this point that Fine Gael continues to refer to itself in those terms when after holding the Ministry for justice for more than 12 years, we have seen continued deterioration and increasing...

School Transport 2023-2024: Statements (3 Oct 2023)

Gary Gannon: Statements on school transport do not do justice to what we are being asked to speak to. More than school transport, I am being asked by parents who have contacted me on this issue to give voice to the fact that their children, often children with acute vulnerabilities and additional needs, are being excluded from their basic right to an education. I do not doubt for a second that...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (3 Oct 2023)

Gary Gannon: I had anticipated, given that it was raised several times last week by Deputy Catherine Murphy, that we would have statements this week on section 39 workers, who will strike in two weeks' time? I do not think there is a person in this Chamber representing a constituency who will not be affected if over 4,000 health and voluntary workers remove their labour to some of the most vulnerable...

Gary Gannon: 6. To ask the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade when the Control of Economic Activity (Occupied Territories) Bill 2018 will be examined on Committee Stage. [41910/23]

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Middle East (28 Sep 2023)

Gary Gannon: My question pertains to the Control of Economic Activity (Occupied Territories) Bill 2018, but it is really in reference to any action at all. I am really asking about whether we can advance the occupied territories Bill. What can we actually do in terms of providing sanction?

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Middle East (28 Sep 2023)

Gary Gannon: I am conscious, however, that when Deputy Brady brought forward the Illegal Israeli Settlements Divestment Bill 2023 around the withdrawal of investment through State investment funds in occupied territories in Israel, the Government did not advance it just a couple of months ago. It was the Minister, Deputy Micheál Martin, who brought in the comparison between our response to the...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Middle East (28 Sep 2023)

Gary Gannon: I welcome the Minister's commitments to revisiting the Bill that was brought forward by Deputy Brady. Is that a commitment? Should we see some tangible action from that within the next three months, which I believe is when the timeframe is up? Should we see some tangible action on that by this time next year, for example, by the summer recess? When would the Minister foresee actual action...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Middle East (28 Sep 2023)

Gary Gannon: We have had a number of exchanges on this issue. In a recent engagement the Tánaiste highlighted his predecessors in Fianna Fáil who took what I would argue was the brave position of being the first to call for the Palestinians' right to a homeland. In order to highlight where we have been brave in the past, and where some of the Tánaiste's predecessors were brave in the...
