No, those actions are all based on not addressing AMOC. The NCCRA explicitly states that its assessment is not based on the collapse of AMOC.

I do not know if the Minister knows that climate scientists are now saying this is likely to begin in 2063. AMOC is already weakening. There is lots of evidence to indicate AMOC is already weakening. A high-risk event, even if there is a low likelihood of it happening in the next 20 or 30 years, is something we need to plan for. The year 2063 is not that far away. There are people who are taking up a farm now who cou…
“My life is a balance between heating my home or feeding my children”. That is not exaggeration or scaremongering. Rather, those are the precise words - I took them down when she spoke at the briefing in the audiovisual room - of a disabled woman who is facing the impact of these horrific and cruel cuts from the Government. To attempt to shame the Opposition for speaking this truth and reflecting this reality and say…
You did.
They are executing people on the streets of Minneapolis and you are going to give him a bowl of shamrock.
They are executing people.
You are a disgrace.
You are a disgrace. Answer the question.
The Taoiseach is the one cutting them.
Because the Government voted down the amendments that said it could not be used for weapons.
The national development plan is a plan for continued State failure to provide the basic services that working-class people need. There are no big new ideas in it. It is doubling down on a failed model of relying on the private market to deliver. It never has and it never will.
Since I joined the Committee of Public Accounts, it has struck me that in 99% of cases, the scandals people hear about regarding waste of pu…
I cannot remember the last time a government brought forward a Bill that was so universally condemned by human rights organisations. The Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission has said there are "substantial gaps and ambiguities ... [in the Bill] in areas that directly affect the rights and safety of ... vulnerable applicants such as children and victims of trafficking". It also said that without clear, enforceab…
Did the Cabinet agree this morning to press ahead with abolishing the triple lock without holding a referendum? If it did, why is the Taoiseach reneging on the promises he personally made to the Irish people in order to get the Nice and Lisbon treaties passed?
It now seems crystal clear, despite the Tánaiste promising me just last September that alternative safeguards would be introduced, that there will be no safeg…
Instead of the Taoiseach taking these life-and-death decisions, why does he not allow the people to decide in a referendum?
He should make his arguments and we will make ours, and let the people decide in a referendum.
I want the people to decide.
I am saying the people should have a right to decide.
Why will the Taoiseach not give the people a referendum?
5. Deputy Paul Murphy asked the Taoiseach if he will report on his attendance at the G20 in South Africa. [3925/26]
It really says something when the US boycotts the G20 in South Africa on the grounds of the racist conspiracy theory of white genocide. It is a conspiracy theory propagated by those who want South Africa to go back to apartheid. It is illustrative of a regime that is ruled by a monstrous bully who has torn up any semblance of pretending to care about international law, if US imperialism ever did. Since the start of t…
23. Deputy Paul Murphy asked the Taoiseach if he will report on his attendance at the EU-African Union summit. [6015/26]
The EU-African Union summit discussed the European Union's international digital strategy, which includes AI and online platforms. As the host country for so many big tech corporations, does the Taoiseach accept that Ireland has a unique responsibility to hold them to account? It is clear that is not happening. It is clear from the appearance of the Minister of State with responsibility for AI at our committee today …
155. Deputy Paul Murphy asked the Minister for Justice, Home Affairs and Migration if he is concerned that family members of refugees will be endangered by his proposals to limit access to family reunification; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [6019/26]
11. Deputy Paul Murphy asked the Minister for Health if she will legislate to end the three-day wait for abortion services; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [4679/26]
I move:
That leave be granted to introduce a Bill entitled an Act to amend the Online Safety and Media Regulation Act 2022 to regulate the use of recommender algorithms by video-sharing platform services.
I am delighted to introduce what, I think, is a very important Bill, the Online Safety (Recommender Algorithms) Bill 2026. The Bill is very simple; it bans big tech companies from targeting children with toxic alg…
