- An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (25 Jun 2024)
Paul Murphy: On behalf of People Before Profit, I would like to express our condolences to the families of both Mícheál Ó Muircheartaigh and Tommie Gorman. They both had a significant impact on public life over decades in different ways. Has the Taoiseach reflected on the High Court's decision on Friday last to the effect that the Standards in Public Office Commission, SIPO, did not...

Simon Harris: I note the High Court judgment. SIPO is an independent body established by the Standards in Public Office Act 2001. How it proceeds in respect of any individual matter is a matter for the commission. It is important that the commission is independent of Government and the Oireachtas. It will need to respond to the findings of the High Court in the context of how it wishes to proceed....

Cathal Berry: In light of the comments made in the Chamber and outside earlier, I have three brief questions. The first is for context and I say it with full respect. Does the Taoiseach know how many members of his party have criminal records? If he does not, does he think he should know? I agree entirely with the Taoiseach's views about the court liaison officer. I was one myself. It is archaic and...

Simon Harris: No member of my parliamentary party has a conviction for domestic, sexual or gender-based violence. If they did, they would not be in it. The Defence Forces need to adopt the same approach. I am so proud of the men and women who serve in our Defence Forces. We need to have the zero-tolerance culture embedded in everything we do. We to set up a tribunal of inquiry to investigate the...

Mary Lou McDonald: We are just hearing the very sad news that Tommie Gorman of RTÉ has died. It is very shocking. We extend our initial sympathies to Ceara and his family. I certainly I did not see that coming. He was a tremendous man, and I am sure we will have an opportunity again to reflect on him. This week, Dublin City Council has announced the price of so-called affordable homes on Oscar...

Bríd Smith: The Taoiseach has not commented on whether he agrees to a debate on the Natasha O'Brien outcome and all of its implications relating to against women in this country. It is imperative that we have such a debate before the summer. Whatever rules might be imposed as to what we can or cannot say about judges, we need that debate.

Simon Harris: I am happy to be helpful. I said what I said not because I do not care, but because I do. We cannot have a debate in this House on an individual case where legal proceedings may not yet have concluded. It is a different matter if the House would like to have a broader debate on gender-based violence, a zero-tolerance strategy and the likes. That could be raised at a meeting of the...
