Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Employment Rights (18 Apr 2024)

Louise O'Reilly: ...either confirm or deny what we have read in the media. It is unfair to those workers who depend on this measure and believe it is coming. I shared Teachta Murphy's concerns about the Bill and put forward a number of amendments, but the Government pressed ahead with it. The Minister said he was going to deliver this, and now we read that there is a potential for it to be paused. I press...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: General Scheme of the Employment (Restriction of Certain Mandatory Retirement Ages) Bill 2024: Discussion (10 Apr 2024)

Louise O'Reilly: I thank the witnesses for the evidence they have given us. From the start, I will say that while I can follow the meeting on the monitor, I will have to go because I have an appointment with a radio station in about half an hour. I apologise for that. I will get back if I can. I really welcome this discussion. The abolition of mandatory retirement is a very long-standing Sinn Féin...

Louise O'Reilly: ...into force on 18 June 2023. We will be the 18th participant, so we have not exactly rushed into this and as a result of delays I believe we have lost some opportunities to bring a court here, and the Government needs to take some responsibility for this. We recently also failed to secure the European Money Laundering Agency. There needs to be some reflection on the part of the...

Protection of Employees (Trade Union Subscriptions) Bill 2024: Second Stage [Private Members] (28 Feb 2024)

Louise O'Reilly: ...to make a real and meaningful difference to the lives of working people, which is incredibly important. It also fits very neatly with the EU directive and I am genuinely mystified as to why the Government cannot see fit to support it. I have heard the reasons given by the Minister of State, but he will forgive me if I say I am not quite convinced by them. He mentioned that there is no...

Healthcare Provision in Rural Communities: Motion [Private Members] (21 Feb 2024)

Louise O'Reilly: I thank the Deputies for bringing forward this motion and for giving us an opportunity to discuss the dire state of access to GP care across the State. I represent north County Dublin. My constituents are no different from the people we have heard described here. They wait for GP services and appointments, and they cannot get onto lists. Only last week, I spoke to a woman who has three...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: IDA Ireland: Chairperson Designate (21 Feb 2024)

Louise O'Reilly: Mr. O'Rourke and his team are very welcome. I wish him the very best in his role. We look forward to ongoing engagement with him and the team. Since we are all mentioning our teams, I will not go without saying "Up the Dubs". We can move on from that. In his opening statement Mr. O'Rourke mentioned his own CV and his work history, which is broad and comprehensive. He mentioned his...

Business Costs for Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises: Motion [Private Members] (14 Feb 2024)

Louise O'Reilly: ...of them could find some time to be here. Notwithstanding that, I am very grateful that the Minister of State is here to hear it. I am sure she will bring back what she hears to her colleagues in government. Given the issue under discussion, it is regrettable that neither the Minister nor the two Ministers of State could find some time in their schedules to come to the Chamber for this...

Select Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Employment (Collective Redundancies and Miscellaneous Provisions) and Companies (Amendment) Bill 2023: Committee Stage (14 Feb 2024)

Louise O'Reilly: ...trade union”. I would also like to be associated with the kind remarks made earlier with regard to the recent bereavement suffered by our colleague, Richard, and his family. I apologise in advance if I have to go early as there is a Private Members' motion in the Dáil and I will be speaking on it. However, I think we might get through this business beforehand. It is my...

Organisation of Working Time (Reproductive Health Related Leave) Bill 2021: Second Stage [Private Members] (18 Jan 2024)

Louise O'Reilly: I thank the Ceann Comhairle for the opportunity to speak on this legislation and I thank the Deputies for bringing it forward. I genuinely think there is something a bit cynical about the 12-month delay. This is a piece of legislation that has been knocking around for a while. The work that the Minister of State has talked about could have been done. What he is doing is making very clear...

Digital Services Bill 2023: Second Stage (13 Dec 2023)

Louise O'Reilly: ...and, especially, the team in the Department for engaging with us for the briefing and for the helpful information exchanged. Sinn Féin will support the Bill on Second Stage. We will bring forward amendments on Committee Stage. That will not surprise the Ministers but they will be brought forward in a constructive and not obstructive spirit. We intend to work with them. We...
