- An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (14 May 2024)
Mattie McGrath: I am addressing the Taoiseach but I address my remarks to all of the party leaders, who have eventually and finally woken up. They were part and parcel of the problem all along for the past 12 months by not allowing debate, not wanting debate and shutting down debate. They were name calling people looking for debate, like me and my colleagues in the Rural Independent Group. However, now...

Roderic O'Gorman: There have been so many debates.
- An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (14 May 2024)
Catherine Connolly: I support the call for a debate in this House. As of today, the figures for international protection applicants not offered accommodation is 1,780, which is 65 more than last Friday. I ask for that debate to take place because what is happening in our name is shocking. It is shocking for those living in tents, as has been described, and particularly dangerous for public discourse. I see...
- An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (14 May 2024)
Simon Harris: There are many legitimate requests for a debate on migration. What is not legitimate is when Members of this House say things that are completely offensive and Trumpian in fact such as things like "mouthpieces in the media" or that there has not been a debate. I am telling the Deputy that is untrue. The Ceann Comhairle can check the record of this House. There have been many, many...

Catherine Connolly: They cannot. They are being refused.

Simon Harris: -----as they are across the country. I will check. I am not taking from the Deputy's point. Across the country, housing commencements are increasing. I assure the Deputy that when State agencies like Uisce Éireann and others make investment decisions, they do so cognisant of the national planning framework and the national development plan. A new national planning framework will...

Hildegarde Naughton: I move: Tuesday's business shall be: - Motion re Thirtieth Report of the Committee of Selection (without debate) - Health (Miscellaneous Provisions) (No. 2) Bill 2024 (Second Stage) (if not previously concluded, to adjourn either at 5.30 p.m. or after 1 hr 41 mins, whichever is the later) Tuesday's private members' business shall be the Motion re Dublin and Monaghan Bombings, selected...

Seán Ó Fearghaíl: Is that agreed?
- An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (14 May 2024)
Mary Lou McDonald: It is not agreed. For the second week now, I ask that the Minister for Justice, Deputy McEntee, and the Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth, Deputy O'Gorman, present themselves and make a statement to the House on their handling of the immigration issue, particularly the situation as pertains today on the Grand Canal in Dublin, where there are now 40 tents with...
- An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (14 May 2024)
Ivana Bacik: I, too, would like to see an urgent debate this week on the Government's plan to provide sustainable accommodation for those who come here seeking international protection. I just came from the canal earlier. Along Baggot Street Bridge, there are now 48 tents. Last week, I welcomed the multi-agency operation. I was down there to observe it. It was inhumane and unsustainable to see so...
- An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (14 May 2024)
Gary Gannon: Has the Taoiseach taken a walk along the Grand Canal lately? I did earlier today and over the weekend. What is usually a public amenity for the citizens of Dublin, where you would see people on a day like today having a picnic or a jog along the canal, has seen fencing erected by this Government. The Taoiseach should not shake his head. He orchestrated a multi-agency task force. I...
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (14 May 2024)
Simon Harris: I thank Deputy Connolly for raising the question. I think she will understand and appreciate that I may have to come back to her on some of the specific issues she has highlighted in relation to her constituency, as is right and proper for her to do. On a broad level, when we look at the issue of housing and balanced regional development, I accept the importance of needing to look at in the...
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (14 May 2024)
Catherine Connolly: Perhaps I can use a little bit of the time the Taoiseach did not use, with the permission of the Ceann Comhairle, because this is really important. It should not be up to me to raise this issue with the Taoiseach. We have Uisce Éireann, which the body in charge, and the local authorities. We have plans and conditions have been set as part of a licence which are not being complied...

Bríd Smith: I probably am not on the same types of hustings as the Taoiseach.
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (14 May 2024)
Simon Harris: That is true; I have not met her on them yet anyway.
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (14 May 2024)
Bríd Smith: Some 8% of workers in this country are on the minimum wage and they are the people I meet. The postponement of an increase for them is cruel and unnecessary. Instead of tackling the businesses by getting them to pay different rates, the Government is attacking workers' rights again. Almost a year ago we brought a Bill before the House to get rid of the discrimination against young workers...
