An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (16 Apr 2024)

Bríd Smith: We echo the call for a debate on the European migrant pact, obviously for different reasons. We do think we have to have the debate.

There is great concern in the country about the escalating and increased use of Shannon Airport by US military flights. As the...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (16 Apr 2024)

Bríd Smith: I do not think it is fair to frame the history of what happened to the Bill as there somehow being a minority voting for it. Only approximately nine Deputies abstained that day.

The 28-day limit is really the crucial thing in terms of how fatal foetal anomalies are treated and in...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (16 Apr 2024)

Bríd Smith: On the Taoiseach's first day of Leaders' Questions, it is quite a coincidence that he is being questioned by both the previous speaker and me on the abortion legislation. Last night's programme exposed the ongoing denial of abortion rights to a significant number of women in this country six years after repeal. It was interesting that it opened with a clip of the Taoiseach in Dublin Castle...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (11 Apr 2024)

Bríd Smith: On the last point, Shannonwatch has reported a huge increase since October in the number of US military flights stopping over in Shannon. That means something. I do not know where the Tánaiste gets that level of confidence that there is no military use of the aircraft that are stopping in Shannon because we do not inspect them. We do not get on board and inspect the cargo, see who the...
