An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (22 Oct 2024)

Pádraig Mac Lochlainn: As the Government Chief Whip will know, we dissented from the schedule last week. What I want to raise right now is the poll in The Irish News today that reveals that for the first time there is no longer a majority in favour of remaining in the union. In 2015, the figure was 59.1%. Now it is 48.6%. Will the Government hold statements on this matter and to commit to it? We need to talk...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (22 Oct 2024)

Ivana Bacik: I welcome the Taoiseach's comments this morning that he is looking for a pathway to progress the occupied territories Bill. That is welcome. I also note, however, that he said it will be challenging to see it passed before the election, whenever that will be. On this side of the House, I think we would all be willing to facilitate the speedy passing of the Bill, given the ongoing...

Holly Cairns: I will speak on the same issue. As we speak genocide is happening in Gaza. We will probably never know the full extent of the death toll of the people lying under rubble. It is shameful that this State maintains economic, diplomatic and travel relationships with Israel, a state that is unashamedly committing war crimes by the second. The people of this country have wanted action for a...

Richard Boyd Barrett: Another day, another Israeli massacre in Gaza. Since dawn, another 45 innocents have been slaughtered by this terrorist regime. Almost certainly, the weapons that killed those people came from the United States and possibly travelled through Irish airspace. The US military, which supports all this, is also using our airports. Will the Government give us the debate we asked for about the...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí (Atógáil) - Leaders' Questions (Resumed) (22 Oct 2024)

Michael Fitzmaurice: I have acknowledged the person in the Taoiseach's office who has been in constant contact. I am not having a go at anybody here. I am having a go at the fact it has been meeting after meeting since then. There will be another meeting next Thursday. There has been plenty of talk, but there is only one thing the HSE has said, which is that it has no resolution. Imagine that. Those are the...

Mairead Farrell: To follow on from what the two previous Deputies were talking about, I hear Mr. Conlon's frustration in relation to the site cost. It is clear he was very honest with the officials that this was a substandard site. It seems he was completely ignored. It seems they were willing to write a blank cheque and just get the job done even though Mr. Conlon was clear these were suboptimal sites....

Mairead Farrell: Yes but we are still waiting on some of them. We are talking about an emergency situation, and I accept all of that. The point is that Mr. Conlon, to be fair, raised it with the officials and told them to hold on a second. He said these were suboptimal sites and it would be extremely hard to deliver what they wanted to deliver. They told him this was an emergency. He said the sites were...

Mairead Farrell: On the building the OPW is renting in Smithfield, I have heard it is renting it for between €6 million and €8 million a year. In 2019, it was reported the OPW believed it would serve as a headquarters for two large Government organisations. Can Ms Morrison identify which Government organisations are the current occupants and when they moved in?
