Personal Explanation by Members (24 Oct 2019)

Lisa Chambers: I thank the Ceann Comhairle for the opportunity to address the House and make a brief personal statement. On Thursday last I inadvertently sat in the wrong seat in the Dáil during voting time. This was a genuine mistake. I sat in Deputy Dara Calleary's seat which is the seat beside my own. I pressed the button once in error in the first vote. Nobody asked me to do this and when I...

Public Ownership of the National Broadband Network: Motion [Private Members] (23 Oct 2019)

Lisa Chambers: Broadband is an essential tool for everyday life but many rural communities are without access to adequate broadband in 2019. This is despite Fine Gael's promise to deliver broadband to everyone by 2015, the first of many broken promises. That was four years ago. The national broadband plan has failed utterly. A contract has not even been signed with a provider. Once again, Fine Gael is...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Update on Brexit Engagement: Minister for Business, Enterprise and Innovation (23 Oct 2019)

Lisa Chambers: The Minister stated that there will be no hard border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. What will happen in four years' time if the Northern Ireland Assembly votes to move away from alignment?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Update on Brexit Engagement: Minister for Business, Enterprise and Innovation (23 Oct 2019)

Lisa Chambers: Does the Minister accept that the potential of a hard border is still there? This is not a tick-box exercise. A meaningful vote, which we must respect, could go either way unless we are telling the unionist community that we are going to assume the vote will pass because their view on the matter will not be taken. A Minister cannot categorically guarantee that the vote in the Northern...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Update on Brexit Engagement: Minister for Business, Enterprise and Innovation (23 Oct 2019)

Lisa Chambers: That is the cooling-off period. That period is not about deciding anything differently. I asked the Tánaiste about this directly. If the decision to end alignment is taken in four years' time, that will be the decision. The two years that would follow would allow us to get ready for the change, not allow for the Northern Ireland Assembly to change its mind. That is my point. The...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Update on Brexit Engagement: Minister for Business, Enterprise and Innovation (23 Oct 2019)

Lisa Chambers: It is not a suggestion, I have corrected what the Minister said. What she said does not reflects the facts. There will be a vote every four years for a reason and that vote could go either way. The unionist community, and the DUP in particular, have a different view. For the Minister to say it is a tick-box exercise-----
