Seán Ó Fearghaíl: Is that agreed?

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (15 Oct 2024)

Pádraig Mac Lochlainn: It is not agreed. There is a motion to be decided without debate before the Dáil tomorrow night to increase the cap on the defective concrete blocks scheme by 10%. The difficulty is large numbers are engaged in the scheme - the Minister, Deputy O'Brien, is here for this - who will be short tens of thousands of euro. In some cases, it is more than €100,000. It is crucial that...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: Report of the Commission on the Defence Forces: Engagement with Chair of Implementation Oversight Group (15 Oct 2024)

Matt Carthy: It is the only metric we have at the moment. Is Mr. Molloy satisfied we have enough patrols within our waters?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: Report of the Commission on the Defence Forces: Engagement with Chair of Implementation Oversight Group (15 Oct 2024)

Matt Carthy: I have one more comment but I will hear the other answers first, if that is okay.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: Report of the Commission on the Defence Forces: Engagement with Chair of Implementation Oversight Group (15 Oct 2024)

Matt Carthy: Will Ms Sinnamon remind the committee of the current number?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: Report of the Commission on the Defence Forces: Engagement with Chair of Implementation Oversight Group (15 Oct 2024)

Matt Carthy: We are a fair bit away from it.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: Report of the Commission on the Defence Forces: Engagement with Chair of Implementation Oversight Group (15 Oct 2024)

Matt Carthy: It was remiss of me at the beginning not to mention the members of the Defence Forces currently serving with the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon, UNIFIL, under the most difficult of circumstances. These circumstances are equally difficult for their families back home. I wish to record our thanks for the work they are doing and for continuing what is a very proud tradition of Irish...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: Report of the Commission on the Defence Forces: Engagement with Chair of Implementation Oversight Group (15 Oct 2024)

Matt Carthy: Mr. Murtagh gave a different answer today in terms of a statutory instrument. We might get more detail on that.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: Report of the Commission on the Defence Forces: Engagement with Chair of Implementation Oversight Group (15 Oct 2024)

Matt Carthy: Cuirim fáilte rompu go léir. I thank the witnesses for being here and thank Ms Sinnamon for her opening statement. I hope Ms Sinnamon does not mind me being a little critical but, with due respect, her statement could have been read by the Tánaiste and Minister for Defence or by an official in the Department. It is important that an oversight body provide a broad oversight...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (15 Oct 2024)

Simon Harris: I thank Deputy Lowry for this important question in relation to aviation policy and indeed the role of Shannon Airport. More broadly, on the passenger cap at Dublin Airport, as the Deputy knows this arises from a 2007 condition attached to planning permission for terminal 2. I do not believe a 17-year-old decision holding back growth in 2024 to be a sustainable situation. I engaged with...

Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth: Commission for Future Generations Bill 2023: Discussion (Resumed) (15 Oct 2024)

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: I thank the Chair. I will not repeat my opening statement from last week in full. I will say to the committee and the witnesses, however, that I am quite honest about the provisions of this Bill. It is a commission to set up a commission. It is limited in its scope. It sets out a piece of research work that would be needed if we thought it was a good idea to transpose a version of the...

Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth: Commission for Future Generations Bill 2023: Discussion (Resumed) (15 Oct 2024)

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: There are just two things I would like to draw out from what Ms Ní Bhuachalla and Senator Clonan said. First, neoliberal capitalism was rightfully identified as the kind of ideology within which we live. Something Professor Peter Doran of Queen's University Belfast said to me once has really stuck me since. He said that the most successful ideologies were invisible. Very often, we...

Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth: Commission for Future Generations Bill 2023: Discussion (Resumed) (15 Oct 2024)

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: It is a super question. It is a tough one. It is very difficult to answer because we are all a product of our context. As for whoever fulfils that role, we can point to the examples that we have had in Wales where we have had the likes of Sophie Howe and Derek Walker, who have been in posts. Of course, we are all products of our context and our environment. A strength is that they are...

Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth: Commission for Future Generations Bill 2023: Discussion (Resumed) (15 Oct 2024)

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: I love the idea of effective disruptors and will see how that fits on an election poster. I would not mind it as a manifesto. The issue of youth work and community development is a really good lens through which to look at this Bill. If there is antisocial behaviour on the corner of a street, the short-term response is to lock somebody up, to incarcerate them. The long-term response is...

Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth: Commission for Future Generations Bill 2023: Discussion (Resumed) (15 Oct 2024)

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: I thank the committee for being so generous with its time. It is not always the case that a Private Members' Bill gets two sessions. I thank all the witnesses who have appeared before the committee. It has been fantastic to get that level of insight. To be very political about how the nuts and bolts of how Leinster House work, the further a Private Members' Bill goes, the greater a...

Richard Boyd Barrett: The Taoiseach did not say it publicly.
