Paschal Donohoe: Disgraceful.
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (17 Jul 2025)
John McGuinness: Tánaiste, you are currently dealing with Deputy O'Gorman.
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (17 Jul 2025)
Simon Harris: That point I am making to Deputy O'Gorman is this. I understand the rapporteur positions on European parliamentary committees are divided up, if not quite by a d'Hondt system by a system reflecting the various strengths of parties in the Parliament. Fine Gael only has one MEP, I think, on the environment committee. It is Seán Kelly, who is a substitute member. I also understand there...

Roderic O'Gorman: There was a vote in the European Parliament last week and three Fine Gael MEPs voted for Ondřej Knotek as rapporteur on climate policy. During his term in the European Parliament, he said: [The] policies of climate activists, as you are, are not leading to saving the climate. You are lying to people about that if they will be ambitious, that there will be no floods and so on.... But...
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (17 Jul 2025)
Simon Harris: I do not accept the Deputy’s framing at all. I was endeavouring to engage constructively on this but the Deputy does not wish to, with “our guy” and “my guy” and stuff. My party's record on climate is very clear, thanks very much. We worked with Deputy O'Gorman in the last Government for five years. We worked with his predecessor, the former Minister,...

Cathy Bennett: Unbelievable.
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (17 Jul 2025)
Simon Harris: Please do not paint a picture that nothing is happening to help people in the here and now.
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (17 Jul 2025)
Louise O'Reilly: Not enough is happening.
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (17 Jul 2025)
Simon Harris: There is an air of unreality about Deputy Doherty's contribution today and many of the contributions we have had during this Leader's Questions slot over the last number of weeks. Being very honest with the people of Ireland, one would have to go back a long, long time to find a summer recess-----

Rory Hearne: Being honest with the people of Ireland?
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (17 Jul 2025)
Simon Harris: Deputy Doherty probably does not need Deputy Hearne's help. One would have to go back a very long time to find a summer recess in which we have seen a moment of greater economic uncertainty, yet Deputy Doherty does not want to talk about trade, he does not want to talk about tariffs and he does not want to talk about the 48,000 people who work in pharma in this country. He does not want to...

Cathy Bennett: Keep paying taxes.

Simon Harris: -----by protecting their jobs at this dangerous moment. We will support families but we will also support the economy, something the Deputy does not like talking about very often.
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (17 Jul 2025)
Pearse Doherty: At least we can put that debate to bed; the Tánaiste does not get it. He simply does not get it. The Tánaiste stood there and the unreality-----
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (17 Jul 2025)
Noel Grealish: I hope we do not get it if it is what the Deputy is saying.
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (17 Jul 2025)
Pearse Doherty: The facts are staring the Tánaiste in the face. He talked about what the Government was doing in terms of energy. Did he not see what the commission released today? Does he know how many people are going into further debt or cannot pay their energy bills since January of this year? In four months, it has increased by 63,000 households. That is since this Government came into office....
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (17 Jul 2025)
John McGuinness: Conclude, Deputy Doherty.
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (17 Jul 2025)
Pearse Doherty: Energy credits have to be delivered in this year's budget. Otherwise, that is the message the Tánaiste is sending people. There needs to be a cost-of-living package. Yes, we understand there is instability but there was also instability in the last number of years. We have a surplus at this point in time and the Government is happier to provide €186,000 to landlords as a tax...
