Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: School Accommodation (12 Nov 2025)

Pearse Doherty: The community in Pobalscoil Chloich Cheannfhaola have been very patient. The staff and the board of management have been very patient. They have made their case time and again but patience is running out. What the school needs now is clear. It needs decisive action from the Department. The Minister of State talked about the six applications that are in and there could be more going in....

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: School Accommodation (12 Nov 2025)

Pearse Doherty: Ba mhaith liom plé a dhéanamh ar Phobalscoil Chloich Cheannfhaola ar an Fhál Carrach. Seo scoil atá i mo cheantar féin.

Tá iarratas i ndiaidh iarratas curtha isteach ag an bpríomhoide agus obair na...

Cost of Motoring: Motion [Private Members] (12 Nov 2025)

Pearse Doherty: The Government is choosing to make driving more expensive. Instead of getting prices under control and ending the rip-off, the Government is actually making things worse. Election promises are now in the rear view mirror, disappearing like snow off the ditch. We have seen the biggest budget deliver massive tax cuts for developers, investors and landlords, but nothing for workers. Every...

Pearse Doherty: Cuirim fáilte roimh na finnéithe. Déanaim comhghairdeas leis an gCoimisinéir as a ardú céime. There is obviously a lot of excellent work the Garda is doing and it deserves all our support and praise but in this, we bring forward issues where things are not going as well.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Home Affairs and Migration: Engagement on Policing Matters: An Garda Síochána (11 Nov 2025)

Pearse Doherty: I will. The engagement is one part of it but the substance of the matter - I will finish on this - is the other part of it. The substance that he pointed out in the first email is that this is not policing, it is crisis management, when he said there was only one garda on duty from Donegal town right through to Gweebarra, including Glencolumbkille. We had a terrible tragedy on the roads...

You are the guy who promised students that you would reduce student fees. They are now paying more this year than they paid last year. You are the guy who is...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (6 Nov 2025)

Pearse Doherty: Seriously, Tánaiste, you tell us we should support these measures, which will see huge amounts of taxpayers' money go into the pockets of developers, because Cairn Homes and Glenveagh Properties told you this will work for them.

They can now make €5 million in profit on an apartment block and pay no tax whatsoever. That is absolute nonsense. People are annoyed because you have decided to leave workers worse off.
