- Nomination of Member of Government: Motion (26 Jun 2024)
Eamon Ryan: That brings strength, particularly at times like these, when we see significant change in leadership and ministerial roles. I am confident this Government will see out its term because it has a Cabinet that works collectively. My Cabinet colleagues know this; you respect each other, listen to each other and work together. We will dearly miss Deputy Michael McGrath. Three things that are...

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I will try to address the issues Deputies have raised, perhaps beginning with Deputy Canney as he is here and has just spoken. While I agree with Deputy Canney's perspective about rural Ireland being reflected in the European Union, I remind him that it is the sons and daughters of rural Ireland who are representing Ireland in the political institutions in Europe. It is the sons and...

Catherine Connolly: I welcome the opportunity to take part in this discussion. I start with Ireland's recognition of the State of Palestine on 22 May, which was very welcome. I do not see that reflected here. There is nothing on the follow-up and the steps we need to take in any of the seven items listed on the agenda. I would have thought the EU-Israel trade agreement would have been top of the list when it...

- Pre-European Council: Statements (26 Jun 2024)
Catherine Connolly: All I can do is try to use my time to highlight that as a committed European who believes in the European project, but not in the context of the direction in which it is going. It lost its moral compass a long time ago. We are heading for a militarised Europe and a fortress Europe. I say that reluctantly because I have very good contact with some of the countries in Europe. We have very...
