Gabhaim buíochas leis na Daonlathaithe Sóisialta as an rún seo a chur os ár gcomhair. Tacaím go huile agus go hiomlán leis. Two weeks ago, Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael clubbed together to vote down Sinn Féin's Bill to stop our Central Bank from facilitating the sale of Israeli war bonds. What have those war bonds funded since that decision? The Israeli state killed 17 Palestinians on 29 May; 72 on 30…

I move: That leave be granted to introduce a Bill entitled an Act to amend the Taxes Consolidation Act 1997 to ensure the certificate required for Section 481 tax relief is only issued to qualifying companies which afford equal terms to Irish performers, comply with copyright legislation, and do not engage in the practice of so-called 'buy-out' contracts. Yesterday, we celebrated Lá Fhéile Cholm…

I move: "That the Bill be taken in Private Members' time."

Tá an oiread sin gnéithe den cheist tithíochta seo nach féidir liom iad ar fad a chlúdach san am atá agam. Déanfaidh mé déileáil le gné amháin ach cosúil le mo chomhghleacaí tá mé ag iarraidh ar dhaoine teacht le chéile anseo Dé Máirt seo chugainn ar a 6 a chlog mar chuid den Raise the Roof campaign. Tens of thousands of young couples are locked out of renting, never owning their own homes. These…

It must be heartbreaking for those on the housing waiting lists to daily pass boarded up homes or the many derelict, abandoned or underutilised private homes on their way to bringing their kids to school, day in, day out and year in, year out. It is scandalous in a housing crisis - an emergency - that all homes connected to sewers, water and electricity do not have families in them. The laughter o…

Deputy O'Gorman will have his chance to speak in a minute.

Glaoim ar an Teachta Byrne.

Táimid ag rith as am agus mar sin ligfidh mé don Teachta Daly Ceist Uimh. 114 a chur agus freagra a fháil air.

I wish to advise the House of the following matters in respect of which notice has been given under Standing Order 39 and the name of the Member in each case: Deputy Michael Cahill - To discuss if the N70 national secondary Ring of Kerry road can be brought up to an acceptable standard. Deputy Malcolm Byrne - To discuss the planned extension of a secondary school in Carnew, County Wicklow, and t…

I do not know how much the Minister of State knows, or even remembers, about what occurred in 1976 and thereafter following the robbery by the IRA of €150,000 from a train at Sallins, County Kildare. It was an audacious robbery at the time that hit all the headlines. What did not really hit the headlines afterwards was the Garda Síochána arrest, torture and beating of confessions out of six men. T…

The Minister received this correspondence almost two years ago, so it is taking a long time to receive attention. The matter itself should be receiving attention even though it is 50 years on. There is no doubting the innocence of the men; that is not why we are seeking an inquiry. The reason is the fact that the State had a system where there were rogue gardaí and non-rogue gardaí. Did the heavy …

I wish to advise the House of the following matters in respect of which notice has been given under Standing Order 39 and the name of the Member in each case: Deputy Michael Cahill - To discuss transfers between Killarney railway station and Killarney bus station. Deputy Naoise Ó Cearúil - To discuss ongoing issues relating to water pressure and supply in Kildare North. Deputy Shane Moynihan - …

Bogfaidh muid ar aghaidh go Saincheist Tráthúil Uimh. 3 to the Minister for Education and Youth, Deputy McEntee, to discuss the review of the school transport scheme ahead of the new school year, atá in ainm an Teachta Mattie McGrath.

Gabhaim buíochas le Páirtí an Lucht Oibre as an rún seo a chur os ár gcomhair. Tá Fianna Fáil agus Fine Gael ag gníomhú amhail is nach bhfuil an chumhacht acu níos mó a dhéanamh. Tá an chumhacht acu. Dúirt an Chúirt Bhreithiúnais Idirnáisiúnta an-shoiléir go bhfuil dualgas – ní hamháin cumhacht ach dualgas – ar gach uile rialtas stop a chur leis an bhfeachtas cinedhíothaithe atá ag tarlú faoi láth…

Sanctions.

Gealladh sa Chéad Dáil in 1919 san fhorógra daonlathach gur "cóir agus gleus is gádh dhóibh chun teagaisc agus taithighe ceart do thabhairt dóibh i gcóir na hoibre a bheidh le deunamh aca mar chomhaltaí den tSaorstát Gaedhealach". An gheallúint a bhí tugtha ná go mbeadh teagasc agus cur chuige ceart maidir leis an oideachas agus traenáil ar fáil do chuile saoránach. Sinn Féin's vision is for those…

I dtús báire, gabhaim buíochas le mo chomhghleacaí, an Teachta Joanna Byrne, as an mBille seo agamsa a chur chun cinn. Is í a shínigh é agus atá ag tógáil ceisteanna chun tosaigh maidir leis na meáin chumarsáide thar cheann an pháirtí. The Committee of Public Accounts stated it believed "decisions taken by RTÉ demonstrate a lack of rigorous financial controls, poor communication, little transpare…
