The success of the directive relies on the domestic legislation underpinning it and the plan on collective bargaining that will be presented to European Commission as part of its transposition. The need for collective bargaining to be protected...

Mary Lou McDonald: I do not know whether the issue of support for Mrs. von der Leyen to have another term of office leading the European Commission came up at the Taoiseach's Cabinet committee on Government co-ordination. The Taoiseach might advise us whether it did. I find it absolutely extraordinary that a Government that professes to be serious about Palestinian rights would weigh in behind von der Leyen...

Violet-Anne Wynne: I wish to raise the issue of the co-ordination of Ukrainian refugees in County Clare. For the last 18 months, 21 refugees have been located in Loop Head.

It has seen 21 individuals being integrated into that very peripheral community, six of whom are children in school and four are...

Ruairi Ó Murchú: I am going to bring up my yearly issue of the brown water in Dundalk. It is not the first time I have brought it up with the Taoiseach. It is a particular issue of increased manganese in the water supply reacting with chlorine, which leads to the water being incredibly brown. It also means this impacts on any repairs that get fixed or any flushing teams operating in other areas. Following...

Simon Harris: I will do my very best. It seems the question about when the Government co-ordination committee meets is just a jumping-off point. I will do my best to answer a variety of important questions. First, as to Deputy Boyd Barrett's question, I will certainly ensure there is a response issued to that organisation which has written to me on behalf of family-owned nursing homes around the...

Simon Harris: I raised the Middle East on a number of occasions with President von der Leyen. I spoke to her again over the weekend specifically on funding for the Palestinian Authority. Fundamentally, President Von der Leyen's view gets misrepresented. She is in favour of an immediate ceasefire, she has increased humanitarian aid, she believes in a two-state solution, she believes-----

Simon Harris: I respectfully disagree with Deputy McDonald on that. I will continue my work in speaking up for the Palestinian people. They, their President and their ambassador to Ireland know that. Deputy Wynne raised the Ukrainian refugee situation at Loop Head and the relocation of those refugees. I will ask the Minister, Deputy O'Gorman, to come back to the Deputy on this issue. The Deputy has...
