Paul Gogarty: I thought I was sharing time with Deputy Lawless. If he comes in, I will try to finish up quickly. Otherwise, I would like the opportunity to spend some time on this very important issue. I thank Deputy Farrelly for tabling the Bill, which is hugely important. We have had others in the past push towards it. Maybe society has changed and maybe we are getting to the point where we are...

Science Week: Statements (13 Nov 2025)

Paul Gogarty: It is fair to say that over the last decade in particular, Ireland has made some commendable efforts to foster a culture of scientific creativity and collaboration within the academic institutions and industry, and also in terms of policy development. You have to give credit where it is due. Obviously, it could be said that Science Week lies at the heart of this movement because it is a...

Cost of Motoring: Motion [Private Members] (12 Nov 2025)

Paul Gogarty: I welcome the opportunity to contribute to this debate, however briefly. I agree with colleagues that the motor insurance rip-off has to end. I was calling for action on this issue 25 years ago and it is still going on. We have to increase competition. That is something we can do from an EU perspective. We also need measures to encourage better behaviour because, whether we like it or...

Social Welfare and Automatic Enrolment Retirement Savings System (Amendment) Bill 2025: Second Stage (12 Nov 2025)

Paul Gogarty: We have had several discussions on this and related legislation associated with the budget. In some ways, we have tended to go around in circles.

Select Committee on Enterprise, Tourism and Employment: Copyright and Related Rights (Amendment) Bill 2025: Committee Stage (Resumed) (12 Nov 2025)

Paul Gogarty: Beidh níos mó níos déanaí. Gabhaim buíochas leis an Aire. I have some concerns about section 3. It goes back to the fact that the summer recess was supposed to create the opportunity to have discussions with bodies like RAAP and come up with some sort of workable arrangement. I still do not get the legal argument about why it would go to the Circuit Court and...
