Amendment agreed to.
- Automatic Enrolment Retirement Savings Systems Bill 2024: Report and Final Stages (22 May 2024)
Seán Sherlock: I move amendment No. 7: In page 15, line 4, after “Minister,” to insert “having regard to the views of trade unions,”. On Committee Stage I said I would come back to this issue on the representation of ICTU as one of the relevant organisations to this new entity. The Minister on Committee Stage stated: When appointing people to the board I must ensure that,...
- Automatic Enrolment Retirement Savings Systems Bill 2024: Report and Final Stages (22 May 2024)
Heather Humphreys: As I said to Deputy Sherlock, the Bill sets out that the board of the national automatic enrolment retirement savings authority, NAERSA, will contain a person who has knowledge or experience in matters relating to the interests of employees. Indeed, that person could well turn out to be a representative of ICTU or someone who would otherwise meet with the approval of trade unionists....

Cormac Devlin: I thank the Taoiseach for that response. A little over seven minutes are left. There are three Deputies here.

Richard Boyd Barrett: Is it seven minutes or two minutes?
- Ceisteanna - Questions: Foreign Conflicts (22 May 2024)
Cormac Devlin: Sorry, we have 45 minutes for this slot collectively. Seven minutes are left and three Deputies are in the Chamber now. Do they wish to take the remaining questions?
- Ceisteanna - Questions: Foreign Conflicts (22 May 2024)
Richard Boyd Barrett: We probably would not have enough time.
- Ceisteanna - Questions: Foreign Conflicts (22 May 2024)
Cormac Devlin: No, because the questions would all have to include a response from the Taoiseach as well. That concludes this session.

- Ceisteanna - Questions: Foreign Conflicts (22 May 2024)
Mick Barry: Listening to the Taoiseach, the thought struck me as to when the Prime Minister of Spain might recognise the state of Catalonia, but in any case, I welcome the recognition of the state of Palestine insofar as it goes. I do not welcome the fact that the Taoiseach has attempted to link this to the idea of a two-state solution brokered by the international community, in other words, by the US...

Richard Boyd Barrett: The people of this country in their majority have long recognised Palestine. Finally, the Government has caught up with the people. It is a pity it has taken seven months of a genocidal massacre in Gaza and decades of ethnic cleansing by Israel, illegal occupation, the siege of Gaza and brutal suppression of Palestinian rights, but it is a step forward. It will mean very little if it is...
- Ceisteanna - Questions: Foreign Conflicts (22 May 2024)
Paul Murphy: Two days ago, the International Criminal Court prosecutor, Karim Khan announced that he was pursuing arrest warrants against Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, and the Minister for Defence, Yoav Gallant, for a range of war crimes. One of the war crimes he was seeking the arrest warrant for was that of starvation of civilians as a method of warfare. That is correct, in my opinion....
- Ceisteanna - Questions: Foreign Conflicts (22 May 2024)
Simon Harris: The first thing I want to say, and I am very conscious of it on a day like today, but it is important to say this, is that what happened on 7 October was an horrific terrorist attack. It was a massacre of people at a music festival. We have seen people who were killed, assaulted, raped, taken hostage, including children, including an Irish-Israeli girl. We should never forget that, brush...
- Ceisteanna - Questions: Climate Change Policy (22 May 2024)
Mick Barry: The European far right rallied in Madrid last Sunday, where they were addressed by Argentina's President Javier Milei who described climate change as a socialist lie. Of course, it does not take far-right leaders to jet in from other continents to come out with this kind of nonsense. The European far right is well capable of putting it forward itself. Alternative für Deutschland is...
- Ceisteanna - Questions: Climate Change Policy (22 May 2024)
Richard Boyd Barrett: Any sensible person knows there is a climate and biodiversity emergency and that, if we do not address them, we will be in trouble. As much as the far right want to deny it, the impacts will cost our society very dearly. We have to recognise that large numbers of people have become alienated from the climate action and biodiversity action agenda because they see climate action as a...

Paul Murphy: Transport is one of the top two emitting sectors of greenhouse gases. Most of this comes from private cars. To get these numbers down and improve people's lives on a daily basis, we need a massive modal shift away from cars, and people sitting in traffic for an hour on their way to work and for an hour on their way home, into quality public transport and active travel. This means investing...
- Ceisteanna - Questions: Climate Change Policy (22 May 2024)
Simon Harris: To respond to Deputy O'Rourke, yesterday the Government considered the climate action plan for 2024 which has now been published. Next year we will begin the process of the allocation of the unallocated emissions. We have given consideration, and the Minister Deputy Ryan has shared this with the House previously, to a number of ways this can be addressed, including technology. I am very...
