- 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)
Catherine Murphy: I thank the Cathaoirleach for the invitation. Prior to my election to the Dáil in 2005, I had been a county councillor since 1991 and a town councillor since 1988. If Deputy Canney is feeling old, he can imagine how I am feeling. I have come to the very firm conclusion that there cannot be Oireachtas reform without local government reform. A piecemeal approach cannot be taken; the...
- Seanad Public Consultation Committee: The Future of Local Democracy: Discussion (Resumed) (27 Jun 2024)
Catherine Murphy: II will pick up on a point Senator Casey made about the implementation of county development plans. That implementation cannot be divorced from other policies set out elsewhere, for example, strategic housing developments completely bypassing county development plans where things such as the need for schools and other infrastructure, which are about building communities, are measured. We...
