Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs: The Windsor Framework and Related Matters: Discussion (2 Oct 2024)

Brendan Howlin: I welcome the witnesses. It is almost with a sense of foreboding that we re-enter the horror story of the washout of Brexit, something which seems to have occupied not just this committee but also so much of all of our thinking for years in a very unproductive way. It is simply about trying to make the best of the situation for Ireland and, in my view, the United Kingdom. The outworking of...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs: The Windsor Framework and Related Matters: Discussion (2 Oct 2024)

Brendan Howlin: When Mr. Donohoe says "not comfortable", are they legally able to be comfortable?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs: The Windsor Framework and Related Matters: Discussion (2 Oct 2024)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs: The Windsor Framework and Related Matters: Discussion (2 Oct 2024)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs: The Windsor Framework and Related Matters: Discussion (2 Oct 2024)

Ruairi Ó Murchú: They are. We are operating on a particular timeline, a bit like the witnesses in what they are talking about. Usually I say that I apologise if I repeat myself, but I probably will not do so here. The crux of the matter is that there is an issue with veterinary medications. If this thing runs out in 2025, we are talking about something that will be somewhat disastrous if we cannot get...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs: The Windsor Framework and Related Matters: Discussion (2 Oct 2024)

Brendan Howlin: I understand the difference between dynamic alignment and mutual acceptable standards. Is it envisaged that an agreement would be that the European Union would accept UK veterinary standards or, more problematically, that it would accept EU standards and dynamic alignment adjusting for ever?

Financial Resolution No. 4: Stamp Duties (1 Oct 2024)

Eamon Ryan: 10 o’clock I thank the Deputies for their contributions. We share a common interest in changing the market here and this is why we are raising the stamp duty. There were already significant reductions in the instances of bulk buying of apartments on the market and this will further reduce that. Any ones that are going are probably an example of legacy developments. This...

Financial Resolution No. 4: Stamp Duties (1 Oct 2024)

David Cullinane: Consider the many debates we have had in this Chamber about vulture funds swooping in and buying up homes, in some cases buying up housing estates and in some cases apartment blocks.
