Joan Collins: Last month, we saw the "RTÉ Investigates" programme on the horrific and illegal conditions at the Shannonside Foods Limited abattoir in Straffan, County Kildare. The plant has now shut down, which I welcome. Having looked through the record of the committee on agriculture meeting on the matter, I was left with serious concerns as to how this situation was allowed to arise. These...

Mary Lou McDonald: I met with the new British Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, in Belfast yesterday. It was a very good meeting, and I hope that the return of the party of the Good Friday Agreement to government in London will prove to be a turning point and an opportunity to rebuild relationships. One of the key issues I raised with the Prime Minister was immigration and the clear need for a bilateral...

Thomas Pringle: I agree with Deputy Murphy's comments on the NAS. It is vital that we debate it. I also want to raise Committee Stage of the Courts, Civil Law, Criminal Law and Superannuation (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2024, which is scheduled for debate tomorrow.

Mick Barry: I add my voice to the call for a short debate on the situation with the NAS. These workers provide a vital service for people with disabilities. They have not had an increase in their basic rate of pay for more than a decade. They have been forced out on the picket lines because their employers, and standing behind their employers the Department of Social Protection, will not implement a...

Mattie McGrath: I am also very concerned on behalf of our group with the amount of legislation being dealt with this week and the amalgamation of three pieces of legislation into one and amendments being subsumed. It is not a way to do business. There is no proper scrutiny of these pieces of legislation. I support the NAS workers whom I met outside the gates earlier. They are out in large numbers on a...

Simon Harris: The Government is willing to provide much more time to debate the issue. I have no doubt there will be a vote in a minute so let me at least put forward our view. We are happy to provide more time tomorrow. We are happy to provide longer time. We are happy to provide as much time as it takes tomorrow night. I take the point that we do wish to take Committee and Remaining Stages together...
