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.

- An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (18 Sep 2024)

On my way, I went out of the Dáil and I wanted to come back up through Molesworth Street....

My question is for the Minister, Deputy Donohoe, in particular, because he was around then. Does he and the Government regret the fact it did not take on the views of some of us in the Opposition back in 2013 when we...
