- Confidence in the Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade: Motion (15 Oct 2025)
Holly Cairns: We got word last night that the Dáil schedule was being ripped up, not to address any of the crises gripping the country or to enact some critical legislation, but to spare the Government's blushes and to try to prevent a spotlight being placed on the Government's shameful treatment of people with disabilities. Aontú signalled yesterday that it was going to put down a motion of no...
- Gnó na Dála - Business of Dáil (15 Oct 2025)
Holly Cairns: I join the other Deputies. It is ridiculous that the Government would rip up the Dáil schedule, as it did last night, and not come in here to urgently enact the occupied territories Bill or address the shortcomings in disability services or treatment for children with scoliosis and spina bifida, but to have a backslapping exercise and put down a motion of confidence in themselves.
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (15 Oct 2025)
Holly Cairns: There is no loophole in the Genocide Convention-----
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (15 Oct 2025)
Holly Cairns: The scenes of joy and relief in Gaza and Israel over recent days have been wonderful to witness. In particular, the release of hostages on both sides yesterday was incredibly emotional, but it struck me once more that even in this fragile peace, Palestinians continue to be dehumanised. Many of us have learned the names and personal stories of the Israeli hostages who were, rightly,...

Holly Cairns: ------and clear Dáil schedules for confidence motions when it wants to.
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (15 Oct 2025)
Holly Cairns: Why will the Government not act with the same urgency to enact the occupied territories Bill?
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (15 Oct 2025)
Holly Cairns: Just answer the questions.
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (15 Oct 2025)
Holly Cairns: We have been discussing banning trade with illegal Israeli settlements for years now. The occupied territories Bill was first published in 2018, so this Government, and previous ones, have had a long time to consider all of these issues. It is not a really long piece of legislation, for that matter, either. The level of talking down the clock and briefly approaching the question at the end...
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (14 Oct 2025)
Holly Cairns: Answer the question, Taoiseach.
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (14 Oct 2025)
Holly Cairns: The Taoiseach says he is not in panic mode but it does sound like he is panicking-----
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (14 Oct 2025)
Holly Cairns: -----and he is yet to answer my question on when the Government will produce its housing plan. It is still delayed. There is acknowledging the role of the private sector, which we do, and then there is completely and utterly relying on it, which is what the Government does. The Government goes far beyond acknowledging the role of the private sector and goes to the extent of paying...
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (14 Oct 2025)
Holly Cairns: I will ask my question again: is the Government going to do anything different in this plan, and when will it produce it?
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (14 Oct 2025)
Holly Cairns: This Government is clearly in panic mode. Its new housing plan was supposed to be published in July and there is still no sign of it. Instead, what we have seen is a succession of measures that all have one common feature: throwing more public money at developers in the desperate hope that the market will deliver. We have been here before and we know how it ends - soaring house prices...
