previously and for this we should be eternally grateful. However, this week in my constituency many people from Ukraine - who came here in search of sanctuary and found a home, placed their children in schools, made friendships in the community, joined our sports teams and became part … have heard reports of such things, is cruel, unjust and re-traumatising those who previously had to uproot their lives. It should be stopped. Ukraine suffered a brutal invasion three years ago. Three years on, it is the United States that is looking to strip it of parts

They were protesting to stop weapons going through Irish airspace, which continues and is increasing and which the Taoiseach has refused to do anything about. I hope he will … effectively forced to remove her underwear. Her private parts were touched and looked inside of, and she was subjected to a cavity search. In addition to that, her hijab was confiscated to check if it was allowed before being returned to her. She said, "After the procedures were

I can and will continue, but I hope in all this that we look … revolting that police officers and Irishmen should have to be employed in detecting such crimes. That is from 1929, and it does not stop there. As I said, this is a cursory glance through snippets in time. I go up to one that I found quite horrendous

using troops to defend itself at all. It just restricts the Government from sending troops overseas without UN approval. In other words, it stops Micheál Martin and Simon Harris from currying favour with Trump, von der Leyen, Macron and Merz by sending Irish soldiers to fight … eagerly joining in. Gardaí physically assaulted pro-Palestine protesters outside NATO HQ in Dublin, viciously breaking a man's ankle. They strip searched women protesters from Mothers Against Genocide, a form of sexual assault. The Government is bringing in new laws to allow gardaí to use facial recognition

family homes, which is a conservative estimate, have been bulk purchased by investment funds since the Minister's claim they had stopped it. In Waterford today, there is not a single housing assistance payment, HAP, property to rent. House prices are up 10.7% in Waterford across city … every cent for a deposit, vulture and investment funds can buy nine houses without even triggering the higher stamp duty rate. While families search in vain for a rental, entire estates are snapped up and rented back at inflated prices. This Government is choosing funds over families

companies earn and take bonuses of €41 million. Where is the fairness in that? A mother contacted me to say, "Every day, I search for somewhere for us to live and, every night, I lie awake and wonder what will happen to my little boy if I cannot … just looking for a roof over their head. We want to put people first. If Sinn Féin were in government, we would stop homelessness and stop this craziness. We put families and people before investors. It is as simple as that

services who have to deal with things on a daily basis. I think of the Garda, the fire service, and suicide watch and search and rescue organisations. All these people, many of them volunteers, go out and do their best to help people. Then, I see investigations … With all the challenges they have now, we have to make sure they get the best treatment. To do that, we have to stop waste and fix the issue with accountability, so that if people get something wrong, they put your hand up and say they

there will be more as not everyone will tell the council due to not being on the council's housing list or whatever. Stop and think about that. There are 105 families with notices of eviction in their hands in Dublin 15 alone, not the whole of Fingal … years applied for the tenant in situ scheme, but was turned down. She is pregnant with her third child and has been searching for alternative accommodation for a year without success. Another person has already been in emergency homeless accommodation for three years and has to cross

another powerful country. Ukraine wants peace. Ladies and gentlemen, one strong country can start a war; another strong country can help to stop the war. But to restore justice and defend what is right, we need a community, a world, made up of many different nations … every region. We are trying to reach every heart, to answer every doubt, to counter every accusation with facts, and we are searching for and finding friends wherever we can. We have managed to unite the majority of the world, and that unity has become our main weapon

block everything. Italian unions have called a general strike for tomorrow. All of us need to now redouble our efforts to stop the support, arming and enabling of genocide. Saturday's national protest called by the IPSC, at 12.30 p.m. at the Garden of Remembrance, can be absolutely … would be back on a plane within 24 hours if we got off the boat now and there would be no strip searching, no mistreatment, etc. Once the ambassador was gone, all of that was gone. We were strip searched and then detained. Our books were taken away

people and two unborn children killed in Omagh, the 220 people injured and the families who, nearly three decades later, are still searching for answers. It can be too easy for atrocities to become a moment in history, a date or an event. That should never be allowed … there is no replacement for the time we would have had with our mam, Maura, Eimear, Evelyn and granny. That line alone should stop every single one of us in our tracks because it shows how the Omagh bombing took entire futures. As we discuss this Bill

Minister and with his background in law, I wish for the Minister to comment on this. Strip-searching and cavity-searching of women who were out peacefully protesting against a genocide - how can that happen in the 21st century when we are talking about structures to bring … streets so we can feel safer. All of the time the language is changing and we see fewer gardaí on the street. I stop in my tracks or on my bicycle when I see gardaí to welcome their presence

were told it was essential enough to buy but not essential enough to actually switch on and for seven years the National Gallery searched for a room to fit this scanner. Columbus found the new world faster than the National Gallery of Ireland found a room in which … heart of the fiasco factory that the Government has become. My question to him is: how he will make it stop

take that first step. Included will be a targeted media campaign using the full range of communication channels available, including social media, paid search and local radio as well as a co-ordinated approach to stakeholder engagement with a range of voluntary and community partner organisations … engage with mental health services, outcomes improve dramatically. We also know there is no health without mental health. Of course, we cannot stop here. This initiative is a major step forward but it must be part of a broader journey. Over the coming years, we will continue

during the Great Famine in the 1840s and 1850s. Two million of us were driven to cross the Atlantic in coffin ships in search of mere survival. Thousands of us died on those ships. At home, our people died in cabins, in ditches, on the roads … Taoiseach, because of our famine history and our neutrality, have a unique moral authority and obligation to do everything in our power to stop the genocidal starvation of 2.3 million human beings in Gaza. The Israeli state must face consequences. The Taoiseach has himself described

prioritise the protecting of informants over the protecting of citizens? Was there a failure to connect intelligence? Were there political reasons for not stopping the bomb going ahead? It is also incredible that the wheels of justice are so slow in grinding forward. It has been 28 years … well, welcome and all as this Bill is. We need to focus on the bigger issue of the unresolved investigations where families are searching for truth and justice and have been refused them for many years. We have to look at how we can resolve this on this

tool like ChatGPT takes an enormous amount of energy. A search on ChatGPT uses around ten times more energy than a Google search. AI is proliferating rapidly and, with it, the ever-growing need for data centres. We really do need to concern ourselves with the amount … country, yet there is nothing in the draft rules to state that data centres must be powered with clean energy. What is stopping data centres from importing and using more dirty fuel at precisely the time we should be moving away from this? The CRU must clarify

mandatory clinical placements. They are already burdened by a level of debt which is forcing countless numbers of these graduates to emigrate in search of better opportunities. Ireland is not a country for young people. Gearóid Folan, vice president of TUS students' union has been unequivocal in saying … future of our country? How can the Minister say that education should be for everyone when he is actively building barriers that stop students from accessing the education they deserve? He cannot claim to stand for equal opportunity when his policies are creating a system that benefits only

Every single clinic I have is jammed with people who are in desperate situations. They are coming to the clinic, the phone never stops ringing and the emails are full. When we reach this point, what else needs to happen for genuine action to follow? As a politician … going from couch to couch. How are they able to do State exams? The State exams are over now but their search for homes and for somewhere to live is not over. We will then have the student accommodation problem in the summer when people will

It has improved in recent years, but the institutional records and commission archives were sealed for 30 years. If closure for survivors includes

I hope he will be all right. I hope … ground was never wrong. They had knowledge of all the people. We have lost that. The Minister mentioned drones for searching places. I hope a search warrant will still have to be initiated to allow a drone to search, in the same way that the superintendent

retired politician, a senior clergyman, a psychiatrist and to some parents of victims. The contact with the Garda in 1987 did not stop the sexual abuse. Bill Kenneally was not brought to justice until a formal complaint was made by one of his victims, Jason Clancy, in December … report makes clear that Bill Kenneally could have been arrested on suspicion of false imprisonment and indecent assault. This would have enabled a search of his residence and his car and it is highly likely that the compromising photos he had taken would have been uncovered but this

again want to witness. What happened in Birchwood last week has not just left people heartbroken. People are, rightly, angry and they are searching for answers. Let us not forget that along with the four innocent lives taken, two children, 14-year-old Nadia and six-year … criminals that we will not stand for the extortion, threats, violence and the ending of lives. Enough is enough. This has to stop. I extend my deepest condolences to the extended English family and Companjen family, who have known unbearable grief and loss this week. As Deputies Cullinane

demonstrated a profound failure of duty. However, Grok is not the only app to facilitate this type of deviant behaviour. A quick Google search this morning revealed a myriad of such apps. A review of one of them stated: Using the app was a surprisingly engaging experience … visually impaired and communication tools for people with speech impairments. That is AI at its best, expanding human capability. We cannot stop the AI revolution, nor should we want to but we can shape it. We can use our powers to guide it. We can ensure that

people, couples, families with children and pensioners do not know where they are going to live in six months. They are now desperately searching for an alternative rental, just at the time when Government allows landlords to jack up the rent for new rentals. What will the consequences … done something wrong? How much more hardship will it foist on renters? Our motion sets out the alternative. It is time the Government stopped looking after the interests of big investors and developers and started standing up for renters. It is on this basis that I commend
