An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (15 Oct 2024)

Simon Harris: I will have to ask the Minister to comment on the timeline.

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (15 Oct 2024)

Pádraig Mac Lochlainn: The Taoiseach has the control over that-----

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (15 Oct 2024)

Simon Harris: I have control within constitutional parameters. I am not making light of a very serious issue and I do take that point. I will ask the Minister, Deputy O'Brien, to engage with the Deputy directly. Deputy Bacik asked about legislation. I have asked the Attorney General to look at that. I will get the Deputy an update in this Dáil, yes. Let me see if I can get that update quite...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (15 Oct 2024)

Seán Ó Fearghaíl: Is the Order of Business agreed?

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (15 Oct 2024)

Deputies: Not agreed.

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (15 Oct 2024)

Ivana Bacik: The Labour Party has drafted legislation, as the Taoiseach may know, to make unincorporated associations accountable for paying redress for abuse that has been committed by members or those under the power of those organisations. The need for this Bill was brought to the fore by the recent scoping inquiry on sexual abuse in schools but, of course, it would apply not just to religious orders...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (15 Oct 2024)

Simon Harris: Yes.

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (15 Oct 2024)

Ivana Bacik: Can the Taoiseach advise if he can provide an update on this before the general election and will we see this Bill capable of being brought into law?

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (15 Oct 2024)

Gary Gannon: To the Taoiseach, I say that nobody has a monopoly on compassion for any tragedy to be discussed in this House, no less one that incorporates a genocide that is being inflicted on the people of Gaza, so let us just park that issue there. Equally, few of us have had the opportunity that the Taoiseach had in the past week to stare square in the eye the people who are arming those...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (15 Oct 2024)

Paul Murphy: First, I wish to object to the use of a number of guillotines this week. Second, I make the point strongly that we need a debate or a question-and-answer session this week on the issue of munitions flying through Irish sovereign airspace. We have been requesting this debate, as have others, since the Dáil came back and all the evidence suggests that munitions continued to fly through...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (15 Oct 2024)

Mattie McGrath: There are thousands of restaurant owners and small business people outside the Dáil, including pub owners, hotel owners and representatives of the catering industry. This is a vital industry to rural Ireland and it is a slap in the teeth for them that the Government totally turned its back on them and it did not reduce the VAT rate to 9% in the recent budget. I am appealing now, on...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (15 Oct 2024)

Thomas Pringle: I also fully support the opposition to the guillotines that are being used this week. I also call for a debate on the occupied territories or on the transfer of munitions through Irish airspace to Israel. That is very urgent and pressing. The Government should recognise that it is happening at this stage and should do something about it.

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (15 Oct 2024)

Seán Ó Fearghaíl: As there is no one else, I call the Taoiseach to respond.

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (15 Oct 2024)

Simon Harris: I thank the Ceann Comhairle. Responding to Deputy Mac Lochlainn, the Minister, Deputy O'Brien, assures me that the changes that are being brought in with regard to that cap level will be retrospective to those within the scheme. I want the Deputy's constituents to know that, and I know Deputy Pringle's bona fides on this. It will take a period of time to draft the amendment. I will ask...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (15 Oct 2024)

Michael Lowry: The Taoiseach said Shannon has improved, which is has, in terms of passenger numbers and additional capacity, but it needs support, help, political and ministerial direction and the support of airlines to take up its level of capacity. This issue is also about supporting business which needs direct connectivity from its base in the mid-west to Europe and further afield and stopping the waste...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (15 Oct 2024)

Simon Harris: I thank Deputy Lowry. To reiterate my position, which I am not saying is that of the Deputy, I do not see it as a choice between the passenger cap at Dublin Airport being resolved and the growth of our regional airports. Frankly, we need to do both. This is an island; air connectivity is important. In fairness to my colleague, the Minister of State, Deputy Lawless, who has responsibility...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (15 Oct 2024)

Seán Ó Fearghaíl: I thank the Taoiseach. That concludes Leaders' Questions for today.
