Gambling Regulation Bill 2022: Report Stage (24 Apr 2024)

Pearse Doherty: That is the problem with what the Minister of State is bringing before the House today. The Government really needs to have a rethink here. This is seriously problematic legislation for those cohorts. I completely and utterly welcome the rest of it. We need strict regulation because problem gambling is an issue, as is gambling addiction. The gambling fund and authority are very good and...

Gambling Regulation Bill 2022: Report Stage (24 Apr 2024)

Pearse Doherty: Unfortunately, this was ahead of schedule so I missed some of the earlier contributions, which went very swiftly.

This music festival, being not for profit, also operates a philanthropic, lottery licence. I...

Ní bheidh toghcháin Údarás na Gaeltachta anois ag tarlú ar 7...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (18 Apr 2024)

Pearse Doherty: Before I begin, I will say that my thoughts and those of the party are with the families of those who lost their lives in the Stardust fire. As we all know, they have waited four decades for answers as to what happened to their loved ones at that time. They have faced many obstacles, including those put in their way by this State. I hope the families involved will get the answers they have...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (18 Apr 2024)

Pearse Doherty: If somebody was doing a four-year law degree and it ended up taking him or her six years or more, it would be unacceptable. If we told our teachers that their four-year course was now to last six or six and a half years, it would be unacceptable. Why is it acceptable for plumbers?

National Cancer Strategy: Motion [Private Members] (16 Apr 2024)

Pearse Doherty: Last week I raised with the Tánaiste the deliberate decision by the Government, and it was deliberate, to deny adequate funding to cancer services and the cancer strategy. Today's debate offers an opportunity again to put the facts on the table. The Government has failed miserably to properly fund the cancer strategy in five of the past seven years. The HSE sought €20 million...
