Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Job Losses (23 Oct 2019)

Maurice Quinlivan: I also thank the Ceann Comhairle for selecting this Topical Issue matter which is obviously very important in my constituency, even though the jobs to be lost are listed in County Clare. As everyone is well aware, Shannon is located very close to Limerick city, from where many of the workers involved come. Molex has delivered a number of good jobs for a huge number of years, with...

Child Maintenance: Motion (22 Oct 2019)

Maurice Quinlivan: Yesterday in my constituency office, and not for the first time, I met a lady who spoke to me about child maintenance payments. As Deputy O'Reilly said, when I explained to her that she would have to the courts or get in contact with her partner again, a look of absolute terror fell over her face. Unfortunately, I have seen that occur many times. It is an issue that needs to be addressed....

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (17 Oct 2019)

Maurice Quinlivan: Page 33 of the programme for Government refers to tackling insurance costs. The reason I raise this issue is because there is probably not a Deputy in the Chamber who has not been lobbied by business groups, community groups and individuals whose premiums have skyrocketed. We do not believe the Government has made any particular intervention to address the situation. I urge the Government...

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

Maurice Quinlivan: I am glad the Minister for Health is here. The programme for Government refers to reducing the number of people on trolleys in our hospitals.

Living Wage: Motion [Private Members] (15 Oct 2019)

Maurice Quinlivan: I have been in the Dáil for three years and have listened to some waffle in my time. Unfortunately, the Minister of State, Deputy Breen, beat Banagher with his contribution which he copied and pasted from the contribution of the Minister, Deputy Doherty, earlier. The least he could do is dignify his response with an original contribution. The Official Report of the Dáil will...

Living Wage: Motion [Private Members] (15 Oct 2019)

Maurice Quinlivan: The Minister of State read the same speech twice. The Official Report will confirm what I have said. The aim of our motion was simple, that is, to stand up for ordinary low-paid workers. They are hard-working people who struggle to get by month-to-month. Sinn Féin is proud to stand up for these people and will continue to fight for better pay and conditions for workers. I cannot...

Financial Resolutions 2019 - Financial Resolution No. 9: General (Resumed) (9 Oct 2019)

Maurice Quinlivan: Some of the Ministers and some of the Fianna Fáil people are suggesting that we did not factor in Brexit when we were doing our budget proposals but we actually did. I want to put that on the record. We put down how we would cost and fund a €2 billion Brexit stabilisation fund, how we would support SMEs, businesses and communities which would be particularly affected by Brexit....
