Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Special Educational Needs (3 Jul 2025)

Albert Dolan: I refer to the issue of specific speech and language disorder, SSLD, classes and the eligibility criteria for same. The Circular 0038/2007 published by the Department of education set out the criteria for enrolment into specific speech and language disorder classes, which precluded access to this service for children who have an identified disability. Essentially, the children with speech...

European Union Regulations on International and Temporary Protection: Motions (3 Jul 2025)

Mattie McGrath: I strongly oppose the first and third motions but I think I can support the second motion. With regard to the first motion, I cannot support any proposal that forces Ireland to accept an EU-wide list of so-called safe countries. This is yet another example of Brussels removing our ability to make independent decisions as to who comes into our country. It is a one-size-fits-all policy that...

European Union Regulations on International and Temporary Protection: Motions (3 Jul 2025)

Colm Brophy: I will begin by reiterating that it is a central priority of the Government that our immigration laws are robust and that they are enforced. Ireland is committed to the continued advancement of the common European asylum system to ensure a consistent, fair and sustainable asylum procedure at all times, not just at times of migratory pressure. Such a system demands a sharing of...

Ken O'Flynn: I am delighted to see Deputy Paul Murphy and welcome him back from his recent trip to Egypt. I was surprised when I heard Deputy Murphy saying how disappointed he was with Egypt and its Government because he was a number one supporter of the Arab Spring in 2011. I am surprised and shocked to hear that he does not support that regime now, a regime that he took to the streets and vehemently...

European Union Regulations on International and Temporary Protection: Motions (3 Jul 2025)

Paul Lawless: The Government's immigration policy has been an absolute shambles. The Government has disrespected the people of this country. People in the community where I am from ask me every day what is happening to a particular building. I come in here and ask the Minister of State and his party leader but I get no response. I engage with property owners who tell me they are developing a hotel only...

The...

European Union Regulations on International and Temporary Protection: Motions (3 Jul 2025)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: The issue we all have is that this is not the way to deal with this type of legislation, where we are talking about building up a framework that would have a long-term impact on the migration system in operation in Ireland. As Deputy Gannon said, there were huge opportunities to deal with this at the justice committee. To do so at the last minute on a Thursday in early July does not make an...
