Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (7 Nov 2024)

Holly Cairns: I think the Tánaiste can probably understand why people feel such a huge disconnect between the picture he paints and the reality they experience when they try to buy a home. Every year since the Government has been in office, the cost of an average home has gone up by more than €20,000. I asked the Tánaiste about the delivery of affordable purchase homes and he spent three...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (7 Nov 2024)

Holly Cairns: I want to start by thanking all of the staff in the Houses of the Oireachtas. This is a uniquely fraught and adversarial working environment and it is somehow made pleasant by all of you, so I thank them very much. On the last day of the Thirty-third Dáil, as we prepare for an election, people will be thinking about who they are going to vote for. I hope people will be wary of...

Genocide in Gaza: Motion [Private Members] (7 Nov 2024)

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (6 Nov 2024)

Holly Cairns: I thank the Ceann Comhairle. Time is pretty much up for this Government. When Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael’s alliance started they were the Civil War parties, but now it seems they are more like the phoney war parties. For weeks there has been sniping in the media. It is not about policy, because it does not seem like there are many policy differences between them, but about...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (6 Nov 2024)

Holly Cairns: The thing that is difficult for me to believe or that I do not really buy or that, to be honest, is not really credible is that somebody who was the Minister for Health with responsibility for disability when nothing improved and things got worse then comes in as Taoiseach and sets up a Cabinet subcommittee when we have already had loads of committees and reports and know all the things we...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (6 Nov 2024)
