Proposed Approval of the Agreement Between the European Organization for Nuclear Research and Ireland: Motion
Dail Éireann — 2025-06-11
============================================================

James Lawless (FF), Kildare North

I move:
That Dáil Éireann approves the terms of:
(i) the Agreement between the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) and Ireland concerning the Granting of the Status of Associate Member State of CERN, signed at Geneva on 8th May, 2025, and
(ii) the Protocol on the Privileges and Immunities of the European Organization for Nuclear Research,
copies of which were laid before Dáil Éireann on 27th May, 2025.
I am pleased to move this important motion. I know schedules are running a bit ahead of time. I was in attendance at the Oireachtas joint committee discussing this brief before I came to the Chamber. I think other Deputies may be making their ways across from that session as well because there is a lot of overlap between the two debates.
