An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (25 Jun 2024)

Mattie McGrath: The Rural Independent Group wants to be associated with the remarks and call for a debate on the situation regarding Natasha O'Brien, which is horrific. We are objecting to today's Order of Business because of the flippant and laissez-faire way the Government has handled the migration pact. It has been back and forth. It should have been debated in several different segments, as it was in...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (25 Jun 2024)

Peter Fitzpatrick: On behalf of the Regional Group, I give my condolences to the family and friends of Mícheál Ó Muircheartaigh. I have known Mícheál a long, long time. I spoke to him many a time. His son, Eamonn, lives in Dundalk. I also welcome Natasha O'Brien. We are all behind her. It is a pity she is here under these circumstances. I will ask the Ceann Comhairle one...

Pádraig Mac Lochlainn: It has been publicly announced that Deputy Chambers will become the Minister for Finance, but that is obviously subject to being presented to the Dáil. When does the Taoiseach intend to do that? I understand it is on the schedule for tomorrow. At what time, and so on, will it be?

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (25 Jun 2024)

Thomas Pringle: On behalf of the Independent Group, I support the various calls for debates to take place in the House. As a member of the Business Committee, I will say that the Business Committee basically has no powers. The business it does has to come to the Dáil to be voted on. That is why we have this fiasco every Tuesday. If the Business Committee had real powers, maybe that would be avoided....

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (25 Jun 2024)

Seán Ó Fearghaíl: I will say very quickly in response that since its establishment in 2016, the Business Committee has tried, where possible, to get consensus. For my own part, I appeal to Members, if they have agreed the business each Thursday, not to come here the following Tuesday and disagree with what they agreed with the previous Thursday. However, I am afraid it-----

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (25 Jun 2024)

Seán Ó Fearghaíl: -----has fallen on deaf ears. Deputy Smith is correct that some matters arise in the intervening period and, as I think Deputy Verona Murphy said, many people feel the need to respond to what is in the media. If it is in the media, then they want to raise it here. So be it.

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (25 Jun 2024)

Simon Harris: If it is any consolation, I often feel the Business Committee seems to be one of the most important things around here. I thank the Members who have raised a number of issues. I thank Deputy Bacik for raising the very serious issue of gender-based violence. I fully understand and comprehend that women are exhausted, fed up, angry and frustrated. Her suggestion regarding the issue of...

Simon Harris: I thank Deputy Danny Healy-Rae. I will ask that the points the Deputy has made are fed into the consideration being given to the Minister for the updated rural housing guidelines, which are currently being prepared by the Department of housing. The draft rural housing guidelines set out the relevant planning criteria to be applied in local authority development plans for rural housing and...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (25 Jun 2024)

Ivana Bacik: First, on behalf of the Labour Party, I want to express my deep sympathies to the family of Mícheál Ó Muircheartaigh and just to say what a truly iconic voice he had and how much of a contribution he made in so many ways, in the GAA and sports commentary but also to the Irish language and active retirement. He will be sorely missed. I also want to wish Deputies Michael...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (25 Jun 2024)

Catherine Murphy: We are seeking a debate as a matter of urgency on the issues that have flowed from the "RTÉ Investigates: Horses - Making a Killing" programme. A significant abuse occurred in Shannonside Foods, which is the only equine abattoir in the country and has been temporarily closed down. The abuse that was featured has rightly caused outrage. Horses have been removed from the site. The...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (25 Jun 2024)

Bríd Smith: I am aware we are running out of time in this Dáil term but, given the seriousness of what has happened in the context of violence against women and the outcome of Natasha's case, we have to find time to debate this issue. Tomorrow, we have six and a half hours dedicated in the afternoon to various Bill. Tomorrow also, luckily for him more than luckily for us, the judge in the case...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (25 Jun 2024)

Simon Harris: I thank the Deputy for raising this issue. I very much enjoyed his tribute to Mícheál Ó Muircheartaigh. The idea that listening to the match on the radio was more enjoyable than watching it on the television probably captures the essence of many people's experience and memory. Everybody or certainly most people in this House want to see a balanced approach to rural...
