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

Mary Lou McDonald (SF), Dublin Central

In an unprecedented, and frankly breathtaking display of bias, the person charged with safeguarding and preserving democracy in this House helped to tear it apart. The Ceann Comhairle actively and enthusiastically fulfilled the bidding and the aims of the Government, acting, not as the impartial Chair of the Dáil, but more like a loyal Minister under political instruction from the top.
