- An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (18 Sep 2024)
Simon Harris: Not one of you sought this at the Business Committee. For those watching the theatrics at home, none of the Deputies dissented to the Order of Business and then they come to the House asking why we are not having a debate on housing. The reason is because they did not raise it.

- An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (18 Sep 2024)
Simon Harris: We will call a vote and they will be upset about the business but none of them bothered dissenting at the meeting. Let us have a little bit of fairness and give and take here. Deputy McGrath's commitment to investment in water services is something we share. The Government is very keen to do more in relation to water. Irish Water as a vehicle is delivering but investing more in its...

- An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (18 Sep 2024)
Danny Healy-Rae: It is fairly hard for any Deputy in the House to get elected. For each Deputy, it is a difficult ordeal. Notwithstanding that, it is easy enough to come up from Kerry. There are no restrictions all the way on the road up but it is getting increasingly more difficult to come into this building. On my way, I went out of the Dáil and I wanted to come back up through Molesworth Street....
- An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (18 Sep 2024)
Seán Ó Fearghaíl: All right Deputy. There are security measures in place because of threatened protest outside. We did not want to see happening today what happened on our return last September. The Superintendent circulated to every Member the details of how access could be achieved. I accept that it is problematic for Members and I am quite prepared to talk to them offline about how we might improve...
- Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Pre-Budget Engagement (18 Sep 2024)
Seán Canney: I listened with interest to the contributions of the witnesses. I thank them for attending. I come from a construction background.

Seán Canney: I believe the witnesses, as independent observers and experts, can look at how we are doing our business, the processes we are using, what that is costing and how we can save money by doing things differently. I go back to the Dublin Port tunnel. It is the example I will give. There was talk at the time that it was not high enough to take trucks, it was leaking and it was going to fall in...
- Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Pre-Budget Engagement (18 Sep 2024)
Seán Canney: I am not asking Professor McMahon to do so. If one takes a number of projects that have never gone anyplace, one will see how much is being spent on them and how many millions of euro have we wasted.

Seán Canney: I thank Professor McMahon.
