Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Substance Misuse (20 Oct 2022)

Gary Gannon: I thank the Minister of State for his statement, which I will go through in my response. He refers to a multi-agency approach that crosses the Department of Justice, the Garda Síochána, Dublin City Council and the Department of Health. Will he tell me when representatives of those bodies were last in the same room to discuss this issue? If there is a multi-agency approach, when...

To ask the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice and Equality if she will account for the long delays faced by non-EU PhD researchers when applying for their yearly stamp; and if her Department will consider conducting a review of visa renewals for PhDs, to allow for essential work-related travel year-round for the duration of all candidates' PhDs.

Pre-European Council Meeting: Statements (Resumed) (19 Oct 2022)

Gary Gannon: I begin by welcoming the Georgian ambassador, Mr. George Zurabashvili, to the Chamber. His presence is very welcome. Our last pre-European Council statements coincided with the restrictions based on Georgia's accession to the European Union, following the advanced status given to Ukraine and Moldova. In that time, 12 recommendations were attached to Georgia's candidacy. It is very welcome...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Citizens' Assembly (19 Oct 2022)

Gary Gannon: I wish to ask the Taoiseach about a possible date for the proposed citizens' assembly on drugs. The issue of drugs has been once again brought to the fore by two matters in particular, the first being the episode of "Prime Time" broadcast last night which discussed the matter in detail and the second being the unfortunate comments yesterday of a Government Deputy which reduced people...

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (19 Oct 2022)

Gary Gannon: I find it appropriate that the Taoiseach is joined by the Minister for Health, the Minister for Justice and the Minister with responsibility for local government. Last night's "RTÉ Investigates" programme highlighted a plethora of complex issues related to O'Connell Street. While the matter has already been raised, does the Taoiseach not believe a good starting point would be to...

Mother and Baby Institutions Redress Scheme: Motion [Private Members] (19 Oct 2022)

Gary Gannon: It can become overwhelming when we stop to consider the full enormity of what we are here to discuss today. That enormity is that for four fifths of just over the 100-year history of this Republic, a collusion of church and State saw fit to incarcerate en massewomen and girls of all ages and backgrounds, and young working-class boys, who committed no wrong other than to be in the way of a...

Domestic Electricity and Gas Disconnections: Motion [Private Members] (18 Oct 2022)

Gary Gannon: I thank Deputy O'Rourke for tabling this important and timely motion. The Government's refusal to extend the moratorium on disconnections to households with prepay meters typifies its cavalier approach to this unprecedented crisis. When this issue arose a number of weeks ago, the Government appeared taken aback. The Taoiseach had done an interview at the weekend in which he gave a solemn...

National Tourism Development Authority (Amendment) Bill 2022: Second Stage (18 Oct 2022)

Gary Gannon: This is a short but technical Bill but it is also important, and we intend to support it. It gives us an opportunity to talk about all the aspects of tourism. Fáilte Ireland recently launched a €600,000 campaign stating, "Winter in Dublin, it's magic". I do not disagree with that in the slightest. I am an extraordinarily proud Dub but we have issues that may impact on the...
