- Ceisteanna - Questions: European Council (10 Jul 2024)
Paul Murphy: The far right is on the March across Europe. They topped the poll in six countries in the European Union elections. They came second in another two. They got about 20% right across the EU. A key question is this: how were they defeated? We have debated before whether the so-called "centre" is best placed to defeat them or whether the left is best placed to defeat them. We have seen a...
- Ceisteanna - Questions: European Council (10 Jul 2024)
Peadar Tóibín: I add my voice in condemnation of the Israeli military killings in the Gaza Strip in recent days, most especially the bombing of people sheltering in a school in the Gaza Strip. I wish to highlight the incredible hypocrisy of the western world. NATO can point the finger at one country for an atrocity but finds it unable to point the finger at another country for equal if not worse...
- Ceisteanna - Questions: British-Irish Co-operation (10 Jul 2024)
Peadar Tóibín: The new Labour Party Government in Britain allows for a significant change in the relationship between Ireland and Britain on a number of fronts. The first is the issue of immigration. Figures yesterday showed an 87% increase in the number of asylum applicants in a six-month period of this year, a significant increase. If it continues for the rest of the year, it will probably be the...
- Ceisteanna - Questions: British-Irish Co-operation (10 Jul 2024)
Paul Murphy: I also refer to the British elections. Ordinary people across Britain are delighted to see the back of the Tories after 14 years which saw corporate profits soar while their waters were polluted by privatised corporations, the number of food banks exploded to an extraordinary level and child poverty increased. As has been said, Keir Starmer seems determined to say little will change either...
- Ceisteanna - Questions: British-Irish Co-operation (10 Jul 2024)
Simon Harris: Not that I am aware but I will double check for Deputy Murphy. I thank Deputy Brendan Smith for the point he made today and has made on a number of occasions about the importance of the opportunity for Ireland and Britain to engage at a senior level. In my initial conversation with the Prime Minister, we spoke about the importance of getting the structure for engagement right, for the...

- Ceisteanna - Questions: European Council (10 Jul 2024)
Simon Harris: I propose to answer Questions Nos. 6 to 9, inclusive, together. I attended a meeting of the European Council in Brussels on 27 June. I was delighted to travel to Brussels with my colleague, the Minister of State, Deputy Carroll MacNeill. At the meeting, which had an extensive agenda, leaders and heads of state and government agreed on a package of appointments and nominations to top...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Sustainable Travel Operations Update: National Transport Authority (10 Jul 2024)
Darren O'Rourke: I will revisit the delay in the roll-out of the new fare structure. What are the practical implications of that? Does it only apply to rail services? Is the issue unique to Irish Rail? Is the phased roll-out still on course for other areas, such as bus services in Navan and elsewhere in County Meath?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Sustainable Travel Operations Update: National Transport Authority (10 Jul 2024)
Darren O'Rourke: My colleague, Deputy Patricia Ryan, and others asked me to raise the issue with Newbridge and Kildare but it effects my county equally. I have raised repeatedly the anomaly of Laytown, Gormanston and Drogheda versus Balbriggan. I have a student in Leinster House today from Stamullen who should be getting the train from Gormanston but when asked from where did he get the train, he of course...
