Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (1 May 2024)

Mark Daly: ...on the British security forces side, are still walking free. The report done recently by the British Government on Operation Kenova outlined the fact that the security forces had infiltrated the IRA and were well aware of operations that either were about to happen or had happened. They knew who was involved in the killings. They allowed citizens in Northern Ireland to be killed. Yet,...

Road Safety: Statements (17 Apr 2024)

Mattie McGrath: ...there is too much bureaucracy. We are trying to have speed limits reduced at dangerous junctions. We are supposed to have got rid of the NRA but I do not believe we have. We decommissioned the IRA and we are stuck with the NRA. It is impossible to talk to and will not listen to politicians or anybody. I come from Tipperary where we had a horrific year last year. It was so sad that...

Emer Currie: ...feel that their grief is only seen through the eyes of one community; grief is universal. That is the essence of Mr. McCord's work. He stands up for all victims whether they are victims of the IRA, the UVF, loyalists, republicans or state forces. I have seen up close the work he has done in recent years and I thank him for it. Given the progress made on inquests in recent years, how...

Death of Charlie Bird: Expressions of Sympathy (20 Mar 2024)

Mary Lou McDonald: ...tragedy is a stand-out from that very long career. He will always be remembered for his role, of course, in covering the emerging Irish peace process, including as the RTÉ contact person for the IRA in those years. I pay particular tribute to Charlie for the courage and humanity he demonstrated when diagnosed with motor neurone disease. His selfless campaign, charity work, bravery...

Seanad: International Women's Day: Statements (6 Mar 2024)

Tom Clonan: .... My granny retired after many years teaching in Scoil Bhríde. She went to Scoil Bhríde in 1919, which was Ireland’s first Gaelscoil, and participated in the War of Independence with the south Dublin brigade of the IRA. She was a typical woman, as we remember them on International Women’s Day. She was a teacher by day and an arsonist and freedom fighter at night....

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (28 Feb 2024)

Gerard Craughwell: ...I will not be lectured by somebody who would not be in this House but for the fact that people were willing to talk to terrorists in Northern Ireland. I am speaking specifically about the Provisional IRA. People were willing to bring them to the peace table and allow Sinn Féin to come into parliament in the Republic and in the North of Ireland. I have many friends in Sinn Féin...

Heather Humphreys: .... John Bruton and Billy Fox were elected to the Dáil on the same day in 1969, and, indeed, they shared an office together here in Leinster House. Sadly, Billy Fox was shot and murdered by the IRA in March 1974. Next month, we will commemorate the 50th anniversary of the death of Senator Billy Fox. I will always remember how passionately John spoke when he paid tribute to Billy at...

Seanad: Death of Former Taoiseach: Expressions of Sympathy (7 Feb 2024)

John McGahon: ...there. When I look at John Bruton, I look at a man who gave definition to politics, to Fine Gael and to his role as a leader and Taoiseach. He was absolutely unequivocal in his opposition to the IRA and to terrorism. That steadfastness on that issue, together with other Fine Gael people like Paddy Cooney, was a real source of comfort to the thousands of people, particularly in the...

Post-European Council Meeting: Statements (24 Jan 2024)

Colm Burke: ...phosphorous. When a person is hit by white phosphorous, it burns not just the skin but right into the bone. Likewise, Israel used cluster munitions. Cluster munitions are the same as what the IRA used in Northern Ireland. If a cluster munition explodes over a playing field, it will probably hit every person in every part of that playing field. After 2009, the international community...

Appropriation Bill 2023: Committee and Remaining Stages (13 Dec 2023)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: ...service we probably ever had in this State other than one belonging to another country. The book was produced in 1924 which was called Ireland's Secret Service in Britain. This book was about the IRA carrying out actions in Britain during the 1919 to 1921 war and I think a man called Brady was the author. This organisation did not exist but consisted of whoever operated in Britain...

Leo Varadkar: ...in the terms of orange and green, or unionist versus nationalist. Let us not forget that nearly 3,000 people were killed by republican terrorists in Northern Ireland. I refer to the actions of the IRA and the INLA. I include in that the last Member of the Oireachtas to be killed, the late Senator Billy Fox, who was a member of my party. That is why unionists and unionist parties are...

...that is inflicted on a family but many different kinds of harm. Sometimes, in one family, there will be someone who has been killed by the British army and then someone who has been harmed by the IRA or other groups. These multiple harms happen in one family and we want a process that looks at the harms of everyone involved. We have always been very clear about this.

Confidence in the Minister for Justice: Motion (5 Dec 2023) See 6 other results from this debate

Simon Coveney: ...of this debate. Let me say this, I believe our Minister for Justice has more integrity than Sinn Féin has in its entire organisation. I believe the Garda Commissioner, whose father let us not forget was murdered by the IRA in his car on his way to church with his wife, has more integrity and has done more for the people of this Ireland, North and South, in terms of law and order...

Emer Currie: ...legal challenges to the legacy Bill in Belfast, a barrister for the Northern Ireland Office was able to refer to Sinn Féin as saying one thing in public meetings and another in private meetings. As with others, the IRA will work to suppress the truth of its 1,700 murders, including of gardaí, servants of the state and 319 members of the RUC. Some were murdered from the shadows,...

Micheál Martin: Do you condemn the Provisional IRA?

Palestine: Motion [Private Members] (22 Nov 2023)

Aodhán Ó Ríordáin: ...Hamas. I do not remember in my childhood that before those who felt strongly about British state terrorism in Ireland got the words out of their mouths, they had to say they had a problem with the IRA. Of course, we have difficulty with it and we absolutely condemn evil. We absolutely condemn the actions of Hamas on 7 October - that goes without saying - but this is state sponsored evil...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Northern Ireland (15 Nov 2023)

Brendan Smith: ...down these avenues despite the united opposition of all political parties on this island. We need to continue to record forcefully our opposition to this atrocity amnesty. No one, whether in the IRA, the INLA, the UVF, the UFF, the RUC or the British army, should escape justice from committing heinous crimes. It is very important that Dáil Éireann and the Government continue...

Mark Daly: ...future of the island of Ireland when we were having the public consultation last year. Hugh was shot in 1989 in the knees, hands and elbows, and, in 2000, shot eight times. In 1989 he was shot by the IRA and as we know he is here to tell the tale. Raymond McCord is an extraordinary gentleman because he is the first person ever to get the British Government to admit and accept collusion...
