Mattie McGrath: We need to support the Garda. Gardaí cannot police without the support of the public. The heavy actions there, which were reminiscent of Northern Ireland and the RUC and B Specials, were shocking.

Mattie McGrath: I was contacted by an independent candidate, John Larkin, and business people out there. We need to have a serious evaluation of how we are dealing with this and with putting that number of migrants into tents in a wet, soggy field with no environmental evaluation or any evaluation in the community. It is five miles up the road from the Taoiseach, or less.

Mattie McGrath: I beg the Taoiseach, in the name of the Lord, to evaluate what the Government is doing and the division it is causing between the Irish people and An Garda Síochána who have protected us for decades and want to keep protecting us. This is heavy-handed tactics from Drew Harris and his gang. It is a shocking situation.
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (30 Apr 2024)
Thomas Pringle: I thank the Taoiseach for his answer. The one thing we can do is to target the algorithms the companies use. Putting age profiles and barriers on accounts is grand but the algorithms are the problem and they are what we should be targeting. If we were serious about protecting young people, that is what we would be doing. In his response, the Taoiseach mentioned the ban against harmful...

Simon Harris: The approach we need to take is to hit them where it hurts, that is, in their pockets and on their financial balance sheet and that is what we intend to do under legislation I imagine the Deputy probably supported, as did many people across the House. It is not only about asking the companies nicely whether they wish to do things. This is far too serious an issue for our children, our...

Michael McNamara: Last week, we heard the chilling words of Aoife Johnston's mother, "we told her she would be looked after, but she wasn't. We told her she was in the best place". That has destroyed what little confidence there was in the mid-west in the accident and emergency unit. We are good at addressing the injustices of 40 or 50 years ago in this House. That is absolutely necessary and I commend the...
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (30 Apr 2024)
Thomas Pringle: Many of us in this Chamber are extremely concerned about the reactionary, right-wing, conspiracy and misogynistic content that has become increasingly popular in recent years on social media, and which is starting to filter in and contribute to societal issues in Ireland. Such views have unfortunately always been present in society. However, due to social media it is now possible to create...

Simon Harris: I thank Deputy Pringle for raising what he is right to say is an extraordinarily serious issue. Listening to his final words is a reminder of all of the progress we have been beginning to make as a society in destigmatising some issues and promoting equality. The risk of that being undone or damaged by dangerous online use of social media is pertinent. I met the DCU anti-bullying centre in...
