Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (3 Jul 2025)

Paschal Donohoe: The European Union is an institution that we are part of and that we shape, benefit from and influence. Implicit in the Deputy's question is the idea that the European Union is handing down direction or making decisions that we are, in some way, not able to influence or respond to. I am not familiar with the exact detail of the engagement the Commission has with the Department of justice....

Ceisteanna ó na Comhaltaí Eile - Other Members’ Questions (3 Jul 2025)

Keira Keogh: Imagine you have a 12-year-old child and found out that child was watching or was exposed to pornography on a sitting room television while visiting a friend's house. The child would likely be permanently banned from visiting that friend's house and it is likely you would report the parent to Tusla. Yet, we are giving our children smartphones with open access to the Internet where they...

Ceisteanna ó na Comhaltaí Eile - Other Members’ Questions (3 Jul 2025)

Paschal Donohoe: I thank the Deputy for raising this extremely serious matter and drawing our attention to the reality of what is happening as young minds are reshaped in ways that can do great harm to them, when those young minds have their expectations set regarding what should be permissible and consensual and are putting behaviours in place we know can be so harmful to their well-being and safety in...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (3 Jul 2025)

Paschal Donohoe: In recognition of the horror that is being inflicted on the people of Gaza, the loss of life, the new low that we are seeing being perpetrated when aid is being used in a way that appears to be assembling people for further deaths and injury, let me outline what the Government has done and what we continue to do to respond in a diplomatic and practical way to this. I refer to the work the...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (3 Jul 2025)

Paul Murphy: Every time we raise this issue, we get the same response from the Government, which is, basically, to ask why we are not thanking it for all it is doing and for not being as bad as the western states that arm, fund and enable this genocide? I am sorry. We, and the public, have a higher standard of no complicity in the genocide. That is not only a moral standard; it is a legal standard....

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (3 Jul 2025)

Paschal Donohoe: At what point in my contribution did I look for thanks or recognition? At what point in the statements that I or any other member of the Government has made in relation to what is unfolding in the Middle East have we looked for recognition from the Deputy or, indeed, anybody else?

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (3 Jul 2025)

Paul Murphy: Constantly.

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (3 Jul 2025)

Paschal Donohoe: What we are doing is using the diplomatic resources that are available to us and our political leadership to make a difference, in practical and political terms, to the people of Gaza and to the horror that is unfolding to them and which has gone on for too long, in calling for a ceasefire, in making the case for a review of the trading relationship with Israel within the European Union, in...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (3 Jul 2025)

Ruth Coppinger: God forbid you would break a law to end the genocide. It would be terrible.

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (3 Jul 2025)

Ken O'Flynn: On behalf of Independent Ireland, I add my sympathies to those made yesterday to the family of Brother Kevin Crowley. The European Commission has now issued a formal notice to the State demanding that we implement the so-called hate speech laws under the threat of infringement proceedings. Once again, I see indications from the Government of the bending of the knee. It is willing to...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (3 Jul 2025)

Ruth Coppinger: Would you get real?

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (3 Jul 2025)

Ken O'Flynn: Could we have one meeting in the Dáil, please? If we are to pass this legislation, we must ask ourselves, "What comes next?" Will quoting scripture become a punishable act, something that fines the teaching of exclusionism? Will religious observations be branded as hateful if they conflict with the views of the public? Will the right to express a moral belief, if it is found to be...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (3 Jul 2025)

Paschal Donohoe: First, I want to deal with the different language and points that the Deputy has made before I come to the really important issue of Elaine, her children and her children's future. For the Deputy to use language such as “stacking the deck against students” does no justice to the seriousness of this cause and demeans the need for serious debate regarding important decisions that...

Ruth Coppinger: No answer.

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (3 Jul 2025)

Jennifer Whitmore: The Minister is clearly not listening to what I am saying and, what is worse, he is clearly not listening to what parents and students are saying at the moment. They believed the Government when it said in the programme for Government that it would continue to reduce student fees. They believed it when it said that. It could not be any simpler. The question is this. Is the Government...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (3 Jul 2025)

Paschal Donohoe: It is because of my respect for those families that it is important to give a clear and honest answer. It is important to recognise that those families also have other needs and issues that they want our country to make progress on. In order for us to make progress on those collectively, we have to make decisions as part of the budget process so we can ensure that the changes we make are...
