- Courts, Civil Law, Criminal Law and Superannuation (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2024: Committee and Remaining Stages (10 Jul 2024)
Thomas Pringle: I wanted to ask a quick question of the Minister, if I can. The Damache judgment was in October 2020. We are now in July 2024. The Minister said that these Bills come up at a certain time and have to be dealt with. What actually happened between October 2020 and now, that it could not come up before this? I wonder what the situation is on that. It is obviously not rushed or urgent...
- Courts, Civil Law, Criminal Law and Superannuation (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2024: Committee and Remaining Stages (10 Jul 2024)
Brendan Howlin: As I said, this is a hotchpotch of a Bill because it deals with everything from broadcasting, to the Department of public expenditure with regard to pensions, to revocation of citizenship under the 1956 Act. Some things are proper to an end-of-term miscellaneous provisions discussion, things that we all agree should be done, and there will not be any suitable vehicle coming through. ...
- Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Summer Economic Statement: Discussion (10 Jul 2024)
Bernard Durkan: My apologies for arriving late. There was another meeting I had to attend. We need to have a look at ourselves in relation to the state of the nation, the state of different Departments and the country at this time with a view to occasionally presenting a more forthright and positive view. We all tend to concentrate on the negative and what is not happening, but there are lots more...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters: United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities: Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth (10 Jul 2024)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters: United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities: Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth (10 Jul 2024)
Michael Moynihan: Deputy Canney is telling the truth because the contracts that are being offered are temporary and begrudgingly given by the HSE. They are not permanent contracts.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters: United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities: Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth (10 Jul 2024)
Michael Moynihan: I thank the Minister of State and her the team in the Department. There is huge unmet need and a capacity issue. Following on from the Minister of State's response to Deputy Wynne's points, some of the section 38 and 39 organisations are coming to the State and to the HSE with ideas on ways of meeting the unmet need. They are meeting the families and parents in communities that are looking...

I particularly want to thank our team because they are superb people to work with. There is no job or task too big for them. I come up with some crazy ideas from time to time, so I want to thank them sincerely for the work they do. I ask the Minister of State to respond...

- Courts, Civil Law, Criminal Law and Superannuation (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2024: Committee and Remaining Stages (10 Jul 2024)
Jim O'Callaghan: I did not intend to speak on this amendment but I will do so because a very interesting debate has commenced since I came into the Chamber.

- Courts, Civil Law, Criminal Law and Superannuation (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2024: Committee and Remaining Stages (10 Jul 2024)
Jim O'Callaghan: We are three years on from the Damache case, in which the Supreme Court declared sections 19(2) and 19(3) of the Irish Nationality and Citizenship Act 1956 to be unconstitutional. We sat on it for quite some time. The Supreme Court provided some form of instruction to this House in terms of what to do. The Supreme Court decision said and recognised that the decision as to whether...
