Ceisteanna ó na Comhaltaí Eile - Other Members’ Questions
Dail Éireann — 2025-06-12
============================================================

Simon Harris (FG), Wicklow

The serious point the Deputy makes is entirely right. It is perfectly right that Deputy Feighan has a right to ask a question, Deputy Coppinger. That is how we work in this democracy. Our lads are elected too and they can ask questions in the Dáil. I thank Deputy Feighan for bringing up such an important issue that is on the minds of all parents around the country, the mental health and well-being of our young people.
In the time available to me, I want to return to the news of the horrific plane crash. Since we have spoken, it has become apparent that at least 30 people have died in a plane crash involving a plane from India that was heading towards our nearest neighbours in the UK, at Gatwick. I know the thoughts and prayers of everyone in this House are with all of those affected.
