Simon Harris: No, the Greens have never said that. I do not need to speak for the Green Party but it does not say that either because it follows the evidence. We saw figures published today that show more progress on emissions reduction, farmers yet again stepping up and, quite frankly, farming and agriculture making more progress than some other parts of our economy, which should be acknowledged as...

Mary Lou McDonald: It is great that we have it. You guys did not want it.
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (22 Oct 2024)
Simon Harris: We have it anyway - we can agree on that much - so it is now a matter of having a discussion about how to spend it. I am sure we will have that conversation again. That does provide opportunities in terms of how we will use that windfall tax revenue to invest further in infrastructure. I imagine we will have a longer debate in the not-too-distant future but I do not accept that this...

Richard O'Donoghue: The reason I got into politics - I have been a building contractor all my life and I am a block layer by trade - is that I want to help build for the future. I want to use my experience. I do not build for local authorities. I have always had our own jobs to do. For 40 or 50 years, we have been promised infrastructure. The Minister of State, Deputy Niall Collins, who is sitting behind...

Simon Harris: I think the Deputy meant to say when I stepped up.

Mattie McGrath: It is like Lanigan's Ball. He stepped out and I stepped in.

Simon Harris: When I became leader, I appointed a Minister from the Deputy's constituency to the Cabinet. The Minister of State, Deputy Niall Collins, also serves the Deputy's constituency. Both of them advocate for the area. Statements of an absolute nature that no infrastructure has been delivered do not stand up to any degree of scrutiny.

Richard O'Donoghue: Michael Collins was born close to Clonakilty.

Simon Harris: Not the one beside the Deputy.
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (22 Oct 2024)
Richard O'Donoghue: No. Where Fine Gael was born was close to Clonakilty. He was born to the son of a farmer. Since it has come into government, for decades, Fine Gael has done nothing but close down farms around this country. We then go to Eamon de Valera, who was born in New York and raised in Bruree, County Limerick, and was for Fianna Fáil. Again, we look across the Governments over decades slowly...

Simon Harris: My party and this Government are proudly supporting farmers, rural Ireland and the agriculture sector. We meet them on a very regular basis. I meet them on a very regular basis. I regularly met them with the Minister for agriculture as well. We took a number of decisions in the budget to further support farming and farmers, including making sensible changes to the residential zoned land...

Holly Cairns: The figure the Taoiseach gives of 40,000 homes is disputed by the ERSI and the Central Bank. We know commencements are one thing and completions are another thing altogether. For the first six months of this year, completions are down nearly 10%. That is the reality. He mentioned the help-to-buy scheme. On this, the ESRI has stated that if this scheme was scrapped, house prices would...

Seán Ó Fearghaíl: Thank you, Deputy.

Holly Cairns: -----not banning the bulk-buying of homes, not addressing these issues has not worked.
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (22 Oct 2024)
Simon Harris: There is no balance to the Deputy's argument; this is the point. I am able to stand here and talk to the electorate on their doorsteps and point to progress and also point to the more there is to do. The Deputy just wants to dismiss any of the progress, as though those extra 128,000 homes do not exist. I am interested in what she is saying now because she has set out her stall if she is to...
