## Ceann Comhairle

[edit]

Main article: 2024 Ceann Comhairle election

* Ceann Comhairle: Verona Murphy
* Leas-Cheann Comhairle: John McGuinness

The first order of business of the 34th Dáil on 18 December 2024 was to elect a new Ceann Comhairle. Four candidates were nominated: John McGuinness (FF), Verona Murphy (Ind), Seán Ó Fearghaíl (FF), who had served as Ceann Comhairle in the 32nd and 33rd Dáil, and Aengus Ó Snodaigh (SF). Murphy was elected as Ceann Comhairle, the first woman to hold the role.[1][2][3]

On 19 February 2025, the Clerk of the Dáil declared Aengus Ó Snodaigh (SF) and John McGuinness (FF) as validly nominated candidates for the position of Leas-Cheann Comhairle.[4] McGuinness was elected by a vote of 96 to 66.[1][5]

The 2025 Dáil speaking rights dispute culminated in calls from opposition leaders for Murphy to step down as Ceann Comhairle. On 26 March 2025, the leaders of Sinn Féin and the Labour Party expressed no confidence in Murphy's position, offering her "time to reflect" before considering a formal motion.[6] On 1 April 2025, the government proposed a motion of confidence in Murphy, which was carried by a vote of 96 to 71, with 2 abstentions.[7][8] It was the first time a vote of confidence had been held on the office of Ceann Comhairle.[9][10]

Further information: 2025 Dáil speaking rights dispute

On 4 December, Independent TDs Seán Canney, Noel Grealish, Marian Harkin, Barry Heneghan, Michael Lowry, Kevin "Boxer" Moran, Verona Murphy and Gillian Toole formed a technical group called the Regional Independent Group to negotiate the formation of a government, and appointed Michael Lowry to lead the negotiations.[20][21] Both Aontú TDs and Carol Nolan later joined the group but were not part of the negotiations.[22][23] Murphy was required to leave on her election as Ceann Comhairle. Mattie McGrath joined the group later in January 2025. On 22 January 2025, Aontú left the group amid a disagreement over speaking rights.[16] As the group had negotiated five government posts, only six TDs would remain. On 23 January 2025, Ceann Comhairle Murphy confirmed that she would not recognise the group in the Dáil at a sitting to elect a new Taoiseach.[24]
