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

Peter Burke (FG), Longford-Westmeath

I rise to support the Government motion of confidence in the Ceann Comhairle and her right as a democratically elected constitutional officer to impartially adjudicate over the Thirty-fourth Dáil. In the context of a significant announcement due in hours from the Trump Administration that has the capacity to really impact so many livelihoods right across this country and pose a threat to so many jobs, we in this House are not debating a motion as regards the tariffs could be imposed in the coming hours. We are not debating a motion on what the European response may be to that significant threat.
