We need people who realize our obligations are to the Irish people. Not Somalians, not Palestinians. Our obligations are to the Irish people and Ireland's sovereignty.
We don't have obligations to anyone except the citizens here legally . You seem to think we have endless capabilities to help others but not our own , its just not logical , we cant fit all .
" I am a committed European" but not an Irishwomen" that understands why she was elected to parliament. It is pathetic to listen to somebody, so idealogically captured that she truly believes the Irish State has an obligation to save the world!
Only a few people in Dail should be made sit in n take part n listen to all this. Nothing for our Irish people to make a living in their own country. Our young well education people have to emigrate to get a house n start a family. Build up our country for our own families to come home. Taking in young military men n giving them all hand outs n nothing for our own. Those military men walking about our streets in designer dress n no notion of working. They should have identity n visas if they came to work n be garda vetted for the safety of the people n kids of Ireland.
Help and humanity to the Irish people first. We can't take care of others if the government doesn't take care of our own citizens. Children are still going hungry to school, sexual abuse and domestic violence is increasing. Save our children then we can look at the world's Christians...not those who want to clear Ireland out.
Immigration in any form has to be in the best interests of the citizens. This is not radical or regressive. One little island can not save the worlds problems!!
You are in the Dáil, why have things got to this state? Why aren't TDs questioning the ceding of sovereignty? If we have so much to spend why not spend thst money on helping people stay in their own countries. Why so much advice taken from ngos? How is von Der Leyn dictating to us? We need to get out of Europe and follow our own destiny.
I have to say I did not have much time for this woman as a TD , I always taught she was very Quiet, But I am eating my words now. WELL done Catherine Connolly and well said. Over the passage of time when the truth comes out about the EU and the EU Migration Pact Catherine can hold her head up high.
House of Treason The proposed EU Migration Pact undermines the very foundation of Irish statehood as defined by our Constitution. Article 5 unequivocally establishes that all powers of government derive from the Irish people, affirming our sovereign right to determine our own laws and policies, including those concerning borders and immigration. This principle was hard-won through the sacrifices of those who fought for Irish independence, ensuring that Ireland's legal system remains sovereign and independent. The pact's attempt to impose uniform migration policies across member states, without the explicit consent of the Irish people through democratic processes outlined in Article 29, constitutes a clear breach of our constitutional rights. Surrendering control over our borders to external entities indefinitely undermines our ability to uphold our legal system's sovereignty and protect our national interests. Such actions not only disregard the sacrifices made by our forebears but also jeopardize the future of our nation and the freedoms we cherish.
One very telling indication in this speech is that almost the entirety of it is obviously inspired by a desire to impress GREAT INDIGNANT VIRTUE SIGNALS.....and the final 6 words are spoken in a low voice as the individual is sitting down...."I won't be supporting the pact"..... This is a very serious issue - Truth speech trumps Virtue speech in the spirit of those who would struggle on behalf of the communities they are elected to represent. Only for things have gotten so obviously and dramatically ruinously bad is this lady finally accepting that we are facing a very serious societal struggle and will be for decades to come as a result. It should never have gone this far - and she's one of the people who I am glad to hear finally speaking out but are also speaking out far too late
A committed European who believes we can endlessly help everyone from outside but no-one at home ? Although I agree we need to stop the pact , it removes power from the people.
God give me the strength 🙄🙏 opt out now 😁 albanians don't need help neither does Pakistanis.. Nigerian.. Indians.. algerians.. Moroccans.. Bangladesh's so come on, this people smuggling operation can stop now.
Good woman I wish this gov would listen to the people of this country. Our gov getting paid for doing nothing only saying yes to EU n giving themselves big salaries.
Catherine is a voice for peace, compassion and common sense. I learn something every time I listen to her speak. We need to ask why people are displaced? Who is gaining? As a Nation we need to contribute to work for peace in the World, and not for the Arms manufacturers and opportunists, that many of the current EU Leaders represent.
Referendum needed wanted now
The Dail should be full for this.
Such disrespectful arrogance.
It has already been decided, hence the empty seats. They can't even be bothered to hide it, that's what they think of the Irish people.
OPT OUT
THEY ARE COMING FROM LONDON CATHERINE....COP ON....🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪☘️☘️
We need people who realize our obligations are to the Irish people. Not Somalians, not Palestinians. Our obligations are to the Irish people and Ireland's sovereignty.
They are but are not exercised.
Absolutely we pay their wages they should only work in our interests
If there was a hearing on pay rises ,they would all be there..
We don't have obligations to anyone except the citizens here legally . You seem to think we have endless capabilities to help others but not our own , its just not logical , we cant fit all .

Well said Catherine.

And they will do the same with the who treaty which will surrender our health sovereignty.

Telling that there’s only half a dozen politicians present!
Opt out
The voice of integrity and sanity in the circus, thank you Catherine Connolly.
A committed European who believes we can endlessly help everyone from outside but no-one at home ? Although I agree we need to stop the pact , it removes power from the people.
WHY ARE THE RIGHTS OF THE PEOPLE OF IRELAND BEING DENIED? WE THE PEOPLE OF IRELAND NEVER HAD A REFERENDUM TO JOIN E.U. OR NOT JOIN E.U.
Europe must be a fortress
God give me the strength 🙄🙏 opt out now 😁 albanians don't need help neither does Pakistanis.. Nigerian.. Indians.. algerians.. Moroccans.. Bangladesh's so come on, this people smuggling operation can stop now.
