Confidence in Government: Motion
Dail Éireann — 2026-04-14
============================================================

Michael Lowry (IND), Tipperary North

In a moment of global instability, when we need responsibility, unity and a collective effort, Sinn Féin has chosen division, disruption and political opportunism. To bring down a Government at a time like this would have far-reaching consequences for the Irish people. Legislation would stall, vital supports would be delayed and the certainty families, workers and businesses desperately need would be thrown into limbo.
Disruption has been Sinn Féin’s modus operandi from the very beginning of this Government. From the day this coalition has been formed, it sought to undermine and sabotage it for the sake of its own political advantage. It is a group of people who would rather see other people fail than build something positive themselves.
Then, of course, we had the usual from Sinn Féin. It followed the usual social media hit list. Politicians were named and targeted for the Sinn Féin army of online bots.
