Written Answers — Department of Justice and Equality: An Garda Síochána (30 Jan 2024)

Marian Harkin: Taoiseach, last November I asked you as Taoiseach, as leader of our country, to lead what I hoped would be an open, honest, factual and respectful debate on immigration. So far this has not happened. In my view, until we treat our citizens as adults and trust them with all the facts - the nice stuff we want them to hear and the hard facts, the tough stuff that is difficult - people will get...

Written Answers — Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade: Visa Agreements (24 Jan 2024)

Micheál Martin: As the Deputy will appreciate, United States immigration regulation and operations are a matter solely for the relevant US authorities.

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (23 Jan 2024)

Leo Varadkar: The issue of immigration and asylum is a very sensitive topic and one that needs to be dealt with sensitively in this House, so I reiterate my view and that of the Government that migration in the round has been a good thing for Ireland. We would not be able to run most of our public services without migrant workers. Many of the big companies that are here that pay billions in tax would not...

Timmy Dooley: ...of Johnny O'Meara and his family, who took what was a very difficult case for them, I am sure, Mr. O'Meara having lost his life partner and the mother of his three children.

Michael McDowell: ...the home. There is a recognition of their contribution to an teaghlach, to the family, that they should not be obliged by economic necessity to work outside the home against their wishes and that the State should back them up if they want to remain with their family and to abstain from work. There are plenty of issues that arise on that front but I want to deal with the definition of the...

Sharon Keogan: ...change, how many people would respond, "Gosh, we need to get it to alter this pesky Constitution, as it has been holding me back psychologically". How many would kill for the chance to vote on immigration, housing or the HSE? Of course, that would be giving up too much power to the people. They must only be allowed to nod or to shake their heads at whatever the Government serves them...

Helen McEntee: Maintaining the integrity of the immigration system, involves robust controls to prevent illegal entry.

The clear legal advice we received from the Attorney General is that there will be no legal impact on immigration law or,...

Heather Humphreys: The Deputy cannot blame the Government for people carrying out violent actions. She should not conflate the two issues of housing and immigration. Ukrainians and international protection applicants are being moved mainly into hotels and large-scale types of accommodation. They are not taking homes from Irish people. If that is the line the Deputy is trying to peddle, she is going down a...
