Dublin and Monaghan Bombings: Motion [Private Members] (14 May 2024)

Pearse Doherty: Friday will mark the 50th anniversary and the 50th year since 34 innocent lives were lost as a result of the Dublin and Monaghan bombings. As we heard, hundreds were also injured on that day. The Dublin and Monaghan bombings changed the lives of so many forever, and not just those who were killed or injured. I want to acknowledge the presence, as my colleagues have, of some of the families...

Pearse Doherty: This morning there was a joint operation to remove more than 100 tents that were pitched alongside the Grand Canal in Dublin. There were 168 people moved to alternative accommodation.

It is abundantly clear that the...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (9 May 2024)

Pearse Doherty: Are 70% of nurses and midwives who work in our hospitals wrong when they say they are concerned about patient safety because of the levels of staffing? Is the outgoing president of the INMO wrong which she says that things are far worse now for patients and staff in hospitals? There are people in Australia and elsewhere who cannot come back and get a job as nurses owing to the embargo. The...

Gambling Regulation Bill 2022: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage (1 May 2024)

Pearse Doherty: I have to speak on other legislation before a committee. I appreciate being given time to speak. These are very important amendments which go to the core of how local charities and philanthropic bodies would be impacted by this legislation. We are on Report and Final Stages. I said we should recommit the Bill because the question before the House will be whether we pass this Bill with the...

Gambling Regulation Bill 2022: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage (1 May 2024)

Pearse Doherty: That would be appreciated because the 9.30 p.m. cut-off provided in the section would impact on radio bingos that a lot of charities use to raise money. We made the point strongly last week that charities need to be exempt. The problem with legislation is that we have to deal with what is in front of us. I accept that the Minister of State spoke in good faith and it is clear from his...

Petrol and Diesel Excise Rate Increases: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (30 Apr 2024)

Pearse Doherty: I thank everybody who contributed to the debate on petrol and diesel prices. This is not the first time that we have brought a motion like this before the Dáil. We also brought one last September. It would be remiss of me not to address some of the hot air that we were getting from the Rural Independents. I am glad that they have left because things have cooled down a wee bit....

Petrol and Diesel Excise Rate Increases: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (30 Apr 2024)

Pearse Doherty: What do they say to the businessman who says he has to let an employee go because his business cannot survive in this environment? It is the Government and the Minister for Finance who have decided to increase excise duty to a point where we can no longer survive. The Government is silent on this issue. I appeal to everybody who has the backs of ordinary people across this State to support...

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.
