Denis Naughten: ...in our report, none of which has been implemented, that would address issues for women and for those in low-income employment, who are disproportionately women.

Criminal Justice (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2022: Report and Final Stages (29 Mar 2023)

Denis Naughten: To clarify, is the Minister indicating that he is likely to revert to the Dáil on this particular matter or on the Bill in general, in which respect he has given an indication? I flagged this issue on Committee Stage with the then Minister for Justice, Deputy McEntee. She gave an assurance to revert to the House after giving full consideration to the matter. The Minister, Deputy...

Denis Naughten: ...with regard to getting a credited contribution. This is somewhat different from the issue we are dealing with in terms of family carers.

Select Committee on Social Protection: Estimates for Public Services 2022
Vote 42 - Rural and Community Development (Revised) (2 Feb 2022)

Denis Naughten: In fairness, the Minister had a lot of irons in the fire over the past 12 months so I can fully understand why she has not had a chance to read that report.

Health Insurance (Amendment) Bill 2021: Second Stage (7 Dec 2021)

Denis Naughten: ...That was because I had seen during the previous 15 years I had been in politics that it all depended on the Minister who was it behind the desk on a particular day. As soon as that Minister left, the permanent government would revert to form and the new Minister would come in and would have to start the battle again. It was important, therefore, that there was consistency across...

Denis Naughten: ...to ensure that we had a modular building to deal with the unacceptable situation we are currently experiencing in the accident and emergency department.

Denis Naughten: ...those medals. The final issue I will raise relates to the role Defence Forces personnel are playing in contact tracing. If the Minister cannot provide me with a response tonight, I would appreciate it if he could revert to me with one.

Denis Naughten: I thank the Minister and welcome the minor works scheme, which has been very successful throughout the country.

Denis Naughten: ...;5,000? If a group gets a permit for the year and the jackpot goes over €5,000, it must go to court and get a licence. When the prize goes below the €5,000 threshold again, is the group allowed to revert back to the permit or is it stuck with the licence for 12 months? Will the Minister of State clarify that? I have a final point.

Denis Naughten: ...of State referred earlier to an operator taking money that it already has on account. I would like clarity on the licence.
