An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (8 Oct 2024)

Catherine Murphy: None of us need a reminder about the destruction caused by the economic crash, out of which Anglo Irish Bank and Irish Nationwide were combined to form IBRC and NAMA was formed to deal with the loans of the pillar banks. IBRC was the biggest liquidation in the history of the State. Both organisations dealt with very high-profile cases and individuals. I recently attended a meeting of the...

Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth: Commission for Future Generations Bill 2023: Discussion (8 Oct 2024)

Simon Coveney: I thank the witnesses for coming from various bodies, and in particular Ms Davidson, for being with us. We met in Wales when I spent quite a number of hours speaking to Sophie Howe, who was then the Commissioner for Future Generations in Wales. She is a very energetic and articulate person. I believe she held the role from 2016 to 2023. Derek Walker is now in the role. I support what...

Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth: Commission for Future Generations Bill 2023: Discussion (8 Oct 2024)

Simon Coveney: I believe my children will be able to buy their own homes. Even though we face housing challenges in Ireland today, we are seeing many people every week buying their first home with the assistance of the State. We need a lot more of this. The Senator is absolutely right about the state of the world today internationally and the impact of this here also. It is very hard to predict what...

Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth: Commission for Future Generations Bill 2023: Discussion (8 Oct 2024)

Simon Coveney: I am interested to hear Ms Davidson speak about what they are doing differently in Wales. It would be good if she could outline how the approach taken in Wales has made Wales different from, say, England, Scotland and Northern Ireland. It would be good, if possible, to have a comparison. What is the dividend from going down this road in policy, decisions, vision and outcomes? They have...

Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth: Commission for Future Generations Bill 2023: Discussion (8 Oct 2024)

Simon Coveney: Since we have Ms Davidson with us, and she has experience of academia, politics, legislation and years of campaigning in this space, it would be good to get a sense of what changes when going down this road. What can Wales point to that other states have not managed to achieve because they have not gone there yet?

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (8 Oct 2024)

Gary Gannon: I find it very disheartening that the Fine Gael TD does not believe it is important or that peacekeepers deserve appropriate time-----

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (8 Oct 2024)

Alan Farrell: It has nothing to do with the issue; it has to do with the Deputy's timing. The Deputy had loads of time to deal with it.

Gary Gannon: It is important and I would like to see a statement on the matter.

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (8 Oct 2024)

Richard Boyd Barrett: I am very happy to support the call for statements on child protection. They should take place this week. It is a serious issue. However, we have asked for some time for the Government to allow for a discussion and questions to the Minister on the use of Shannon by the US military and the use of Irish airspace for the transport of weapons from the US to Israel to kill children in Gaza and...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (8 Oct 2024)

Mattie McGrath: Of course we in the Rural Independents agree with the request for time to debate offences against children and the whole issue in this regard, but there are many issues that we want to discuss here that the Government will not discuss. The Chief Whip could have had an incorporeal meeting of the Business Committee before sabotaging our business here today. She did not even move the Order of...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (8 Oct 2024)

Thomas Pringle: I fully support the call for a debate on the situation in Lebanon and Gaza. That is vital. Also, we should ask the Government to withdraw the Planning and Development Bill. Six-hundred and twenty seven amendments have come back from the Seanad but it is proposed to have only three hours of debate tomorrow. It is ridiculous to allow such a big Bill to go through in that way. If the...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (8 Oct 2024)

Helen McEntee: The schedule has been set for the week, but if there is agreement in the House, time could potentially be found to discuss child safety and ensure every party has an opportunity to set out its procedures to ensure it. Child safety is paramount, whether it is in a political party or another type of organisation. The safety of the troops in Lebanon is paramount. There is daily engagement...
