Ivana Bacik: Last night in Dublin city centre and in Cork, we saw hundreds of delivery workers in high-vis gear on bikes take to the streets to strike and to protest against the exploitation they face because of the practices of online platforms like Deliveroo and Just Eat. We know that platform workers such as delivery drivers are paying a very high price for our convenience. These workers have been...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (15 Feb 2024)

Ivana Bacik: In all the heat of the debate this week, we have to recall that Ireland has lots to be proud of when it comes to public service broadcasting and that has to be said.

The work of many who are here and are...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (15 Feb 2024)

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (13 Feb 2024)

Ivana Bacik: We have seen reports on RTÉ's "Prime Time" that 23 properties have been set alight in recent months.

Very concerningly, this spate of arson attacks is posing a real and serious threat to human life. In response to a request from Deputy Ó...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (13 Feb 2024)

Ivana Bacik: I certainly acknowledge that Ireland's response to the humanitarian disaster in Gaza has been strong - stronger than that of many other European countries - but it is still not strong enough. It was important that the Dáil and the Government called for a ceasefire and that the Taoiseach and his Government colleagues defended UNRWA when other countries were not doing so, and we...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (13 Feb 2024)

Ivana Bacik: The death toll in Gaza has reached more than 30,000 people. Gaza is one of the most densely populated areas in the world and under Israeli bombardment, its people have been brutally displaced and forced into ever more cramped and overcrowded spaces, most recently into Rafah. They are still being bombarded, even now in Rafah. We are witnessing Armageddon. There is nowhere left for a...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (8 Feb 2024)

Ivana Bacik: I want to return to the issue of renters' rights because today sees another damning report confirming the Government's failure in its basic duty to ensure all citizens and residents have a secure and affordable home. Today’s bad news comes from the latest report of the Residential Tenancies Board, and there is no explaining away the stark figures it presents. The report shows that...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (8 Feb 2024)

Ivana Bacik: The measures the Minister has described are simply not enough and I do not think anyone in government would dispute that.

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (8 Feb 2024)

Ivana Bacik: This Government has been in office since 2020. We need to see action on this. Week in, week out, we hear the Government dismissing constructive proposals from the Opposition.

It dismissed increasing the new-build target to 50,000 homes per year years, but it has never explained why...
