Confidence in the Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade: Motion Dail Éireann — 2025-10-15 ============================================================ Emer Currie (FG), Dublin West It is not even about Simon Harris; it is all about Peadar Tóibín, who demands democratic accountability while trying to convince the country that Ireland's democracy is broken because his preferred candidate for the Presidency could not convince enough Independent Oireachtas Members to help her to secure a nomination. The fact is that Ireland's democracy works because of its citizens. Irish voters make our democracy work. --- Source: Houses of the Oireachtas.
