Budget Statement 2026
Dail Éireann — 2025-10-07
============================================================

Pearse Doherty (SF), Donegal

Go raibh maith agat, a Cheann Comhairle. Before I begin my response to the budget, I want to take this moment to remember all those who lost their lives in the Creeslough tragedy three years ago today, very close to this time. Three years on, that tragedy has still left many scars and pains, and the families are still searching for answers. The Minister for justice has refused to meet the families until the end of the criminal investigation.
