Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (29 May 2019)

John Curran: ...children in my area. Their condition is deteriorating. In the response, the Minister of State will say negotiations are ongoing under the 2013 Act and that there will be a meeting and the HSE will revert to him. This has gone on month after month and we have not had a positive outcome. If after the next meeting this is not resolved, will the Taoiseach amend the legislation? Ireland is...

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (16 Jan 2019)

John Curran: I want to revert to an issue I raised with the Taoiseach in this House on a number of occasions last year and I regret that, due to a lack of progress, I have to refer to it again.

When I have...

BusConnects: Motion [Private Members] (19 Sep 2018)

John Curran: ...For that plan to happen, the quality spines, the corridors, have to be in place. There is a lack of clarity about implementation. At what stage are the corridors built and at what stage does one revert to this new BusConnects project? People are genuinely concerned that the transition will take place first, so new bus routes will come in before the spines and corridors are in place. If...

Judicial Appointments Commission Bill 2017: Report Stage (Resumed) (23 May 2018)

John Curran: ...taken. As it transpired they were taken, and therein lies the confusion. While the Ceann Comhairle has said, and the Minister has agreed, that we can refer the Bill to the Seanad, amend it and revert to this House, the real concern is that if the Bill is subsequently challenged and the debate is referred to in terms of the intent of the Dáil, it then becomes very unclear because on...

The committee is specifically recommending those bands be reverted until the new system, whether it is a total contribution or universal pension scheme, is introduced. Those changes have adversely affected married women who left the workplace because...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection: General Scheme of Social Welfare and Pensions Bill 2017: Discussion (1 Jun 2017)

John Curran: Before we revert to Mr. McKeon, he has heard a number of issues. In respect of head 4 and naming and shaming, while nobody is condoning fraud, there is concern that the ultimate sanction should be appropriate to the offence that was committed.

We will then hear concluding remarks from...
