Mary Lou McDonald: It should be tested by means of a referendum.
- Ceisteanna - Questions: Constitutional Amendments (30 Apr 2024)
Simon Harris: With respect to the Deputy and to everybody in this House, the legislative processes have not come forward. There will be a general scheme and an opportunity for scrutiny. I would at least ask that people see what the Government is proposing before deciding or trying to suggest it is proposing something on military neutrality which it is not. The Tánaiste has been very clear about the...

Mary Lou McDonald: So leave it alone.
- Ceisteanna - Questions: Constitutional Amendments (30 Apr 2024)
Simon Harris: I value it as well but there are issues with the triple lock and we can tease them through. We have a difference of opinion and that is okay but it is entirely possible to bring forward legislation that respects our military neutrality and addresses the changing geopolitical situation around the triple lock, the UN Security Council and the fact that there are people and countries on the...
- Ceisteanna - Questions: An Garda Síochána (30 Apr 2024)
Paul Murphy: There is a serious issue with accountability regarding deaths related to the Garda. A reply to a previous parliamentary question stated that between 2007 and 2021 there were 228 fatal incidents either in or shortly after Garda custody. They were referred to GSOC. In 2005 Terrence Wheelock went out to buy a paintbrush. He was arrested by the Garda. He was brought to Store Street Garda...
- Ceisteanna - Questions: An Garda Síochána (30 Apr 2024)
Richard Boyd Barrett: An international panel convened by the Norwegian Centre for Human Rights has just produced a report - they are in Dublin - saying that the Irish State had failed to properly investigate a series of deadly attacks by loyalist paramilitaries in Ireland in the early and mid-1970s including the Dublin and Monaghan bombings. They particularly castigated the failure of the Garda and the State to...
- Ceisteanna - Questions: An Garda Síochána (30 Apr 2024)
Simon Harris: I am very conscious of the anniversary of the Dublin and Monaghan bombings coming up. I will indeed give consideration to the issues that the Deputy has raised and will seek to be briefed on the matters in advance of the anniversary. I thank Deputy Boyd Barrett for raising that. I am reluctant to comment on the floor of the Dáil on the individual cases Deputy Paul Murphy raised. I...

- Ceisteanna - Questions: Constitutional Amendments (30 Apr 2024)
Simon Harris: I propose to take Questions Nos. 13 to 17, inclusive, together. There are various proposals for constitutional reforms under consideration. However, no final decisions have been made on the timing. I am conscious of the limited time before which a general election will be held next year. Some of the proposed reforms arise from the programme for Government, such as housing and extending...
- Ceisteanna - Questions: Constitutional Amendments (30 Apr 2024)
Mary Lou McDonald: I had intended to raise with the Taoiseach the issue of extending the franchise for the presidential elections because the Government has dragged its heels on that matter which is most unfortunate. I want to return to the issue of neutrality because we need to nail this nonsense the Government is trying to peddle that somehow removing the need for a UN mandate is a minor modification of...
- Ceisteanna - Questions: Constitutional Amendments (30 Apr 2024)
Mick Barry: For the third week in a row, I raise the issue of water in Cork city. The privatisation of water has proved disastrous in the UK. Creeping privatisation is proving disastrous here now. When Cork City Council was responsible for supplying water to households, the water, as a general rule, was clean and safe. When Uisce Éireann took over and hired a private company to design, build...
