- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (10 Jul 2024)
Aodhán Ó Ríordáin: Bonjour. When the Taoiseach and the Minister for Finance do not remember the 1990 World Cup, you realise you are a total aul' fella and need to get out. The important point I want to make today, in what is probably the last interaction I will have with the Taoiseach for a while, is on an issue I have raised a number of times in recent years. It is the reason I got involved in politics in...

Simon Harris: On what is probably our last exchange, I wish Deputy Ó Ríordáin well. His election to the European Parliament is a major milestone for him and his party. I genuinely wish him well as he continues to represent Dublin and Ireland, albeit in a different capacity. I say to all those elected to the European Parliament that everybody in the House is rooting for them. When they go...
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (10 Jul 2024)
Aodhán Ó Ríordáin: Research has shown that a three-year-old from a middle-class advantaged background will have 1,200 words in their vocabulary, while a three-year-old from a disadvantaged background will have 400 words in their vocabulary. Even by the time children are three years old, there is a massive gap in their capability to reach their full potential. This is before we bring in issues such as...

Mary Lou McDonald: I think everyone was expecting a prayer. They have all become very holy, a Cheann Comhairle.

- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (10 Jul 2024)
Mary Lou McDonald: Absolutely. That would be nice. Yesterday, I raised with the Taoiseach the very shocking case of Tori Towey. Tori is, as he knows, a 28-year old young woman from Roscommon. She is living and working in Dubai as an airline attendant, and she married last March. Since then, Tori has been subjected to sustained and brutal domestic violence and abuse. When she went to the authorities to...

Deputies: Hear, hear.
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (10 Jul 2024)
Simon Harris: I agree with every word Deputy McDonald said on this issue. I thank her and Deputy Kerrane for engaging with me on this matter, along with Deputy Feighan. This is a really distressing case. It is important that everybody around the world, including in Dubai and the United Arab Emirates, know that we are speaking with one voice in this House on this situation. An Irish woman - an Irish...

Mary Lou McDonald: I thank the Taoiseach for that update. Let me just say this: Tori is not, as the Taoiseach says, a criminal. She is, in fact, a victim. Our first concern is to get Tori home safely, and that must happen immediately. These charges must be dropped and Tori and her mother Caroline must be allowed to travel home freely and unimpeded to Ireland and to Roscommon. That is the call from this...
- Domestic, Sexual and Gender-Based Violence: Motion [Private Members] (10 Jul 2024)
