Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (28 Sep 2022)

Ivana Bacik: ...could have taken in this budget to alleviate hardship. I refer to a €9 per month public transport ticket to heavily subsidise public transport for all, a €200 per month cap on childcare fees and access to free GP care for all children under 18. Those are the sort of measures that could have been adopted by the Government in the budget, but that were not. We believe they...

Financial Resolution No. 4: Special Exemption Orders (27 Sep 2022)

Ivana Bacik: A cigarette break might be desired by many after listening to some of the debate. Any reduction in fees of this sort is welcome but it is clearly just a tokenistic measure.

Pensions (Amendment) (Transparency in Charges) Bill 2021: Second Stage [Private Members] (22 Sep 2022)

Gerald Nash: ...interest and the same kind of transparency, dare I say it, around pensions as we have in the context of mortgage products. However, the reality is that we simply do not.

This is despite such products often being the second most significant investment we...

The concern she and many constituents, and others throughout the country, have is that crèches and childcare facilities may have signed up to the new...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (22 Sep 2022)

Ivana Bacik: ...to help struggling households and families. Those three measures include, first, to cap childcare costs for families. Every week I hear from constituents who cannot afford the sort of increases in fees for crèches that they are being charged, and from parents who simply cannot access crèche places at all. We are calling for a massive investment by Government in the national...

Vote 34 - Housing, Local Government and Heritage (14 Jul 2022)

Alan Kelly: I do not want to go back through the questions on the legal fees but I ask for a piece of information. Can I get a breakdown in tabular form of the costs relating to each case the board has lost or conceded over the past five years? That is breakdown per case. On the other side of the tab, I would like to know who were the board members who made the final decision. In other words, I want...

Seanad: Night-time Economy: Motion (13 Jul 2022)

Rebecca Moynihan: ...have closed in the past two decades. This does not just impact our night-time tourist offering but also affects the cultural life we have in the city as a place for young people to go where they feel they belong in a vibrant European city. When people speak about what is on offer in Dublin, they speak about blandness and sameness. There are places people go to pay for overpriced...

Seanad: Electoral Reform Bill 2022: Report and Final Stages (7 Jul 2022)

Rebecca Moynihan: ...Our citizenship is very expensive. People who are members of the European Union get all the social benefits associated with membership of the EU. However, we have one of the highest citizenship fees in Europe at €2,000 to €3,000 so many of them do not become citizens and do not have the same say in the democratic processes they would otherwise have. I know people from...

Seanad: Payment of Wages (Amendment) (Tips and Gratuities) Bill 2022: Committee and Remaining Stages (29 Jun 2022)

Marie Sherlock: ...amendment No. 48. An employer does not charge an employee for the paper or ink used to produce the wage slip or the method an employee is paid. It is unacceptable that the burden of transaction fees with regard to the transfer of tips to workers would be placed on the workers themselves. It is unfair to ask low-wage workers in particular, and we are speaking about low-wage workers, to...

Seanad: Electoral Reform Bill 2022: Second Stage (21 Jun 2022)

Rebecca Moynihan: ...might require a constitutional amendment but a referendum should not be a barrier to making changes that are right and promote democratic participation. We also need to have a look at our citizenship fees which are among the highest in Europe. Indeed, the cost is so prohibitive that many EU citizens do not apply for citizenship. While they enjoy many entitlements as EU citizens, they...

Higher Education Investment and Costs: Statements (2 Jun 2022)

Aodhán Ó Ríordáin: ...to learn English. It is important that the House deals robustly with this issue. We all believe in the power of education and that it is the great leveller.

The Minister and I have spoken before about his vision in this...
