National Oil Reserves Agency (Amendment) Bill 2026: Committee and Remaining Stages
Seanad Éireann — 2026-03-26
============================================================

Joe Flaherty (FF), Nominated by the Taoiseach

As the Taoiseach, Tánaiste and every member of the Government have pointed out, this is an initial suite of measures. Indeed, as the Minister of State said, Sinn Féin is very much taking its lead. It cannot do anything for a few months in the North. It has to wait until July to see how we are getting on. We will certainly advise and apprise it on how these measures are doing. When we need additional measures, we will follow suit.
I have to take issue with Senator Murphy claiming I was engaging in the stock trade of propaganda. There was no propaganda about the death of Paul Quinn, as Senator Murphy knows well because he was forced to apologise to his mother-----
