Co-ordination of International Protection Services: Statements (16 Feb 2023)

Gary Gannon: The Minister is contradicting his own colleague. He mentioned it on RTÉ Radio 1's "Drivetime" on Tuesday. The Minister can take it up with him. The Minister of State, Deputy Joe O'Brien, also put out a call for other Ministers to step up. If it is not true, it is certainly something that is being presented by the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment's own colleagues. ...

Co-ordination of International Protection Services: Statements (16 Feb 2023)

Gary Gannon: One of the problems with sitting here listening to others' contribution is that one's own speech can often go out the window. I will start with basic truths because we are living in an age of extraordinary misinformation and the targets of that are often the people to whom we are referring today. For me and for the party I represent, it is important to be unashamedly pro-migration. My...

Energy Costs and Windfall Taxes: Motion [Private Members] (15 Feb 2023)

Gary Gannon: I thank my colleague, Deputy Whitmore, for tabling this important motion. The motions process is interesting. Essentially, we table motions that set out what the Government should be doing and then the Government says what it has done. All the while, real consequences are being felt in people's homes. I wish to throw some light on what is being felt in people's homes and the level of...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Antisocial Behaviour (14 Feb 2023)

Gary Gannon: Cabra is situated in such a place that when gardaí need to be reallocated to other parts of the north side, it usually has to take the brunt of that. With the recent spate of protests, which I am reluctant to call them, or the engagements in which the Garda was involved, it was Cabra Garda station that lost some of its gardaí to go to those scenarios. Cabra is also situated beside...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Antisocial Behaviour (14 Feb 2023)

Gary Gannon: I am here to discuss crime and antisocial behaviour in Cabra. I want to say before I do that I do not believe Cabra is by any means different from any other part of the city or the country. Cabra is a very well-settled place full of people who love living there. Why would they not? There are issues in Cabra, as there are throughout other parts of Dublin, with an element of antisocial...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Third Level Staff (14 Feb 2023)

Gary Gannon: My intention in tabling the question was to find out facts, so I do not really have anything to debate, although I do have a request. Will the Minister engage with the chairs to see whether they will meet the soon-to-be-formed postgraduate workers’ organisation as the body that will represent PhD researchers? If the Minister has not met representatives of an earlier iteration of this...

Cost-of-Living Supports: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (14 Feb 2023)

Gary Gannon: I welcome the motion from Sinn Féin. It is of paramount importance that we address the cost-of-living crisis with urgency and action. I fear that the gravity of the term "cost of living" is being lost on members of the Government. Perhaps the Society of St. Vincent de Paul captured it better when it talked of the cost of survival, which is experienced in people's homes every single...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Urban Development (14 Feb 2023)

Gary Gannon: I believe we are now six years into the north east inner city task force following the Mulvey report and €38 million has been spent. Where is the record of achievement?

The Taoiseach may remember that the reason the north east inner city task force was initiated to combat drug related crime, poverty and dereliction in the...
