Taoiseach a Ainmniú - Nomination of Taoiseach
Dail Éireann — 2022-12-17
============================================================

It is funny all right. Why is the Young Global Leaders an organisation that sets out to take and to destroy our sovereignty as well as the sovereignty of other countries? Can Deputy Varadkar explain to the Irish people how his position of Taoiseach will endure and how it does not present a conflict of interest? I believe it does. The Irish people and individuals are very worried about this. Deputy Varadkar might not want to know about this but they are worried about it. Do WEF members have any other supporters? I spoke to one of the Ministers-to-be during the week who told me it was a great organisation and that there was nothing wrong with it. I rest my case and I will point out that I will not be voting for Deputy Varadkar as Taoiseach today.
