- Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (25 Apr 2024)
Pearse Doherty: The Government is pushing forward with Fianna Fáil's Bill that will cost local sporting clubs, charities and community organisations thousands of euro in vital fundraising. It is doing this because it is conflating fundraising with gambling across the board. We support the regulation of gambling. A quick search shows that Tus GAA Club, a playgroup, Club Limerick GAA, Tang GAA Club,...

- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (25 Apr 2024)
Pearse Doherty: The one thing on which I can agree with the Minister is that there is serious pressure on the system. Where we differ, however, is that the Government is putting the pressure on the system. The clinical lead tells us in correspondence we have from the HSE that it is a Government decision that is preventing these children from being treated. We have a serious problem. One in two children...

- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Harbours and Piers (25 Apr 2024)
Pearse Doherty: Young Muireann Kavanagh has shown the Minister up for what he is. He is the person with hot air. He should tell the truth to the Dáil now. The only time he reached out to Muireann Kavanagh was after she went out on the media - that very morning. That is the reality. She wrote to him twice. A young 14 year old fisher woman from the island of Arranmore watches from her bedroom as the...
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Harbours and Piers (25 Apr 2024)
Pearse Doherty: The SFPA had no problem going to Magheraroarty in the early hours of the morning on a Sunday on three occasions to board that vessel. When that vessel wants to bring product and land it in Magheraroarty, the Minister for fisheries tells us that the SFPA does not have the resources to make the journey to Magheraroarty. That is hot air.

- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Harbours and Piers (25 Apr 2024)
Pearse Doherty: Do not try to spin a lie. She is a 14-year-old girl. She wrote to the Minister a second time. When the parents were going on radio, the Minister sent a handwritten note to her at that point in time. Do not try to mislead the Dáil. This is a young person who is standing up not only for her own rights but for fishing rights across the community. She is currently in Strasbourg because...

- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Harbours and Piers (25 Apr 2024)
Pearse Doherty: I know we have done this through parliamentary questions, and so has my colleague Deputy Pádraig Mac Lochlainn, but I want to ask the Minister about the designation and reclassification of Magheraroarty pier in County Donegal as a landing port for UK-registered vessels, similar to other piers and harbours in the county. This is something that would be transformative for the area and...
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Harbours and Piers (25 Apr 2024)
Pearse Doherty: The Minister knows this case well because they have been in correspondence with him. He knows there is a vessel that has always been going in and out of Magheraroarty. He knows it now holds a UK licence and that the infrastructure it relies on is in Magheraroarty, the sheds and all the rest. He knows that the crew who are on that vessel are also from that area around Magheraroarty, and he...
