Matt Carthy: 1. To ask the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade the engagements he has had regarding the formation of the next European Commission; and if he supports the proposed reappointment of Ursula von der Leyen as Commission President considering her actions in supporting the State of Israel in the ongoing assaults on Palestine. [27472/24]
- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: European Union (27 Jun 2024)
Matt Carthy: Will the Tánaiste confirm to the Dáil whether it is really the Government's intention to support today the reappointment of Ursula von der Leyen as the President of the European Commission considering her actions in supporting unequivocally the State of Israel in its ongoing assault on Palestine and grievous breaches of international law?
- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: European Union (27 Jun 2024)
Micheál Martin: I thank the Deputy for raising this issue. At the informal European Council meeting on 17 June, leaders reflected on the outcome of the European Parliament elections and focused on the new EU institutional cycle, which included the position of President of the European Commission. There was an acknowledgement that the outcome of the European elections should be respected and reflected in...
- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: European Union (27 Jun 2024)
Matt Carthy: I find the Tánaiste's statement deeply cynical and worrying, to be quite frank. To say that Ireland and the EU have been well served by the Presidency of Ursula von der Leyen shows disregard for the seriousness of her actions in giving unequivocal cover for an unfolding genocide. Yes, Ursula von der Leyen did the right things on Brexit and, by and large, on Covid. However, what she...
- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: European Union (27 Jun 2024)
Micheál Martin: First, I acknowledge the Deputy's acknowledgement of President von der Leyen's role in Brexit. It should not be understated. I believe the Deputy's party was very supportive of President von der Leyen at the time in respect of the role of the Commission with regard to Brexit and its impact on Ireland, and, indeed, on Northern Ireland in particular and all of the issues relating to the Good...
- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: European Union (27 Jun 2024)
Matt Carthy: The Tánaiste says that Europe is divided. Yes, there are two sides within Europe in respect of the approach to Palestine and Israel. There is the side that it is in full, unequivocal support of international law and there is the other side, which is represented by Ursula von der Leyen, that is willing to turn a blind eye to international law in a way that will have dire consequences...

- Seanad Public Consultation Committee: The Future of Local Democracy: Discussion (Resumed) (27 Jun 2024)
Alan Dillon: A Chathaoirligh and members of the committee, it is an absolute pleasure and honour to be here with them on behalf of An Taoiseach and the leader of Fine Gael, Deputy Simon Harris, and as the Minister of State with responsibility for local government and planning. First, I commend the committee on taking on the important topic of the future of local democracy. I also commend the committee...
- Seanad Public Consultation Committee: The Future of Local Democracy: Discussion (Resumed) (27 Jun 2024)
Richard Boyd Barrett: I thank the Cathaoirleach for the opportunity to speak on behalf of People Before Profit. Local authorities are chronically under-resourced and underfunded and are having their powers stripped away from them systematically and on an ongoing basis through underfunding, outsourcing and backdoor privatisation to the point where they are becoming increasingly irrelevant when it comes to doing...
- Seanad Public Consultation Committee: The Future of Local Democracy: Discussion (Resumed) (27 Jun 2024)

The importance of this session cannot be overstated and I look forward to the publication of the report into the future of local democracy and the recommendations that will stem from months of work. I acknowledge all the work the committee has undertaken over the past number of weeks. The arrangements for councillors to travel to Dublin have...
