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

Paul Murphy: We in People Before Profit are strongly opposed to the two safe country motions we have before us and that I will focus on in the time available. These are draconian motions that designate countries with appalling human rights records, such as Egypt, Morocco and Tunisia, as safe. The motions allow for people to be deported to so-called safe third countries even when they have no connection...

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

Fionntán Ó Súilleabháin: Sinn Féin has been clear that where a person is not entitled to be in Ireland, he or she should be returned safely to his or her country of origin and that deportation orders should be both enforced and tracked. We need to have powers to immediately return those who are found not to be entitled to be here. I am looking up behind the Minister at a statue of Cathal Brugha,...

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

Gary Gannon: I want to raise the concerns that I raised at Tuesday’s meeting of the justice committee. What we are being asked to debate today amounts to a significant reshaping of Ireland's approach to international protection and asylum, yet the Oireachtas and its justice committee have not had an appropriate opportunity to properly scrutinise what is proposed before it has been brought here....

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

Pádraig O'Sullivan: I welcome the Minister to the House to deal with what is, at times, a divisive debate in the country at the moment. I have been listening to the previous speakers and, above all else, the one thing I would ask and expect of people in the House is that we would have an informed debate without the usual scaremongering and hyperbole. Let us just get down to discussing what is contained in the...

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

Alan Kelly: It is concerning how we got to this stage today where we are dealing with these motions in the manner in which we are dealing with them. Frankly, it is unacceptable that we are dealing with such important motions in this haphazard way. The fact one of the motions had to be withdrawn by the Minister at the last minute just goes to show how shoddily this issue is being dealt with. Why was...

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

Matt Carthy: We are being asked to debate three distinct motions as part of one debate to facilitate an early opt-in to proposed EU regulations. Until yesterday afternoon, we were due to be dealing with four motions. The withdrawal of the motion on the returns regulation reinforces everything Sinn Féin has been saying, and which I will address here, about why we should not opt-in to these...

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

Aisling Dempsey: Before I call on the Minister to open the debate, I remind Members that three separate motions are being debated in this slot, namely the motion re proposed approval by Dáil Éireann for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council amending Regulation (EU) 2024/1348 as regards the establishment of a list of safe countries of origin at Union level, the motion re proposed...

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

Jim O'Callaghan: I move: That Dáil Éireann approves the exercise by the State of the option or discretion under Protocol No. 21 on the position of the United Kingdom and Ireland in respect of the area of freedom, security and justice annexed to the Treaty on European Union and to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, to take part in the adoption and application of the following...

Health (Availability of General Practitioner Services) Bill 2025: First Stage (3 Jul 2025)

Marie Sherlock: I move: That leave be granted to introduce a Bill entitled an Act to make provision in relation to the availability of general practitioner medical and surgical services throughout the State, and to provide for related matters. I am very proud to introduce my first Bill in the Dáil on behalf of the Labour Party. There is a reality that access to GP care is not equal across this...

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (3 Jul 2025)

Peadar Tóibín: Less than a year ago the Government made a U-turn on hate speech. The Tánaiste, Deputy Harris, overruled the former Minister for justice and made a pragmatic decision. Unlike this House, the majority of Irish people oppose any censorship laws. There was some sniggering in the Chamber a little while ago when a speaker suggested that hate speech could be turned against political parties...
