Confidence in the Ceann Comhairle: Motion
Dail Éireann — 2025-04-01
============================================================

Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

We do not have the time to waste on this effort to remove the Ceann Comhairle because she would not bow down before an Opposition which demands that the minority have the right to veto our business. This attempt at what I would say is a strategy of aggression and disruption will fail. Those of us on this side are willing to make this Dáil work. There has to be a will on all sides to make it work.
