- Gnó na Dála - Business of Dáil (19 Jun 2024)
Marc MacSharry: I appreciate that the Government was prepared to allow me to speak. I very much appreciate that. In fairness to everybody here - a lot of us have been around these Houses for a long time - it is clear what is happening. It is tactical. Numbers are tight. Let us get on and have a vote. If there was interest in giving me time, I would have preferred for that to have been decoupled from...

Bernard Durkan: I do not wish to prolong this debate. If a Member or Members wish to speak, they are entitled to speak and have their wishes adhered to. There is no game in this House like the old political game of trying to seize an opportunity when somebody seizes an opportunity. That is not what this House is about. This is about democracy. This is a very serious subject that needs full and adequate...

Seán Ó Fearghaíl: I have assured Deputy MacSharry, who had indicated to me that he wanted to speak, that time would be made available to him. You are now indicating, Deputy, that you want time. It is 7.55 p.m. and we must conclude at 8 p.m. The Minister is required to respond. Her response stretches to ten minutes. It is physically impossible to conclude the business within the timescale set out. The...

Pádraig Mac Lochlainn: The discussion of the legislation that would follows the conclusion of this motion is not anticipated to last for the time for which it is scheduled. I propose an amendment to the Government proposal that we make one more hour available for those who wish to avail of this. That is my amendment and if that is not agreed, unfortunately we cannot agree to the motion.
- Gnó na Dála - Business of Dáil (19 Jun 2024)
Mattie McGrath: Our group is concerned about the late hours for the staff. It is crazy and ridiculous to have that both nights this week. This is a distasteful game. It was hidden during the election three weeks ago. We saw the rush when the motion was proposed in late April to get it done by 9 May. That backfired and when people were getting it in the neck on the doors the motion was postponed....

Seán Ó Fearghaíl: It would be my view that Deputy Mac Lochlainn's proposal is in direct contradiction to what has been proposed. They are negatived. I would assume that we then have a vote on the Chief Whip's recommendation.
- International Protection, Asylum and Migration: Motion (Resumed) (19 Jun 2024)
Michael Fitzmaurice: I am opposed to this pact. This country is hell-bent on giving away powers we have. We hear so many people say day in, day out "well it's Europe that's doing this" and "Europe is doing that". I guarantee that in a few years time, as the rules change, as the EU changes and as decisions are made, as we saw with the nature restoration law, we will blame Europe but when we had the chance to...

Seán Ó Fearghaíl: I understand that the Government Chief Whip has a business proposal to put to us.

Hildegarde Naughton: Given the interest expressed in the debate on the motion on international protection, asylum and migration, I propose to extend it into next week and proceed with the three Bills that are scheduled this evening. The proposal is as follows: "That, in relation to the arrangements for the motion re proposed approval by Dáil Éireann of the Regulations and a Directive of the European...

Seán Ó Fearghaíl: The Deputy is getting more time.
- Gnó na Dála - Business of Dáil (19 Jun 2024)
Mattie McGrath: Yes I am. This is the trick. It is a trick of the loop because I honestly believe the Government might be short of numbers tonight and it is afraid to hold a vote. There was no consultation with the Whips - not with me anyway.

Seán Ó Fearghaíl: People wanted more time and they are getting more time.
- Gnó na Dála - Business of Dáil (19 Jun 2024)
Mattie McGrath: Of course I want more time because it is a very serious issue. I want a referendum but it is being played around with. It was buried for three weeks during the elections to get the next one over and fool the people and now the Government is trying to fool all of us here too.

Pádraig Mac Lochlainn: Who are the Members who have yet to speak? We were advised that anybody who wished to speak would be present here in the Chamber. That was a message sent through all the Whips earlier on. Who are the people who have indicated to speak?
