Nationalisation of Energy System: Motion [Private Members] (14 Dec 2022)

Ivana Bacik: A win on wind is what we all seek to achieve. I welcome the opportunity to speak to this motion on energy and I thank the proposers for giving us the opportunity to debate this very important issue. Clearly, we are in an energy crisis, accompanied by other crises in housing, the cost of living and, of course, the existential climate emergency and this polycrisis is exacerbated by Russia's...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (13 Dec 2022)

Ivana Bacik: I thank the Taoiseach for his briefing and update on LEEF. We know the high-level working group on collective bargaining has reported under the auspices of LEEF. Beyond that, can the Taoiseach say what specific measures the Government will take to improve collective bargaining rates and how to provide for that in law? On a related topic, given the forthcoming EU directive on adequate...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (13 Dec 2022)

Ivana Bacik: The revelations of abuse from Blackrock College and the Spiritan order have led to many more survivors coming forward to disclose abuse in other schools run by religious orders, including the Vincentians, the Dominicans and others. I ask for an update on the Government commitment to hold an inquiry into these abuse claims. It has now been nearly a month since that indication was given, and...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (13 Dec 2022)

Ivana Bacik: The Taoiseach again referred to the revised climate action plan due to be brought before Cabinet next week after the Dáil has risen. I reiterate the concern I expressed earlier in the delay in the publication of this climate action plan. Indeed, it feels like Groundhog Day because the sectoral emissions ceiling earlier this year were not published until the Dáil had risen for the...

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (13 Dec 2022)

Ivana Bacik: We heard today the Cabinet will not approve the updated climate action plan before the Dáil rises for Christmas. I understand the plan is to go to next week’s Cabinet meeting just before Christmas. That means we in opposition will not have the opportunity to scrutinise the plan in a Dáil debate. It means yet another delay in publishing much-needed plans to tackle the...

These concerns were set out in our letter, sent by my colleague Senator Rebecca Moynihan, to the Minister, Deputy O'Brien, on 1 December. I want to raise it again and our representative on the Business Committee also raised the concerns about the...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (13 Dec 2022)

Ivana Bacik: We will support any measures that will see the delivery of housing. However, the difficulty for many people is that they are not seeing that outcome. They are hearing the Government listing off plans in progress, preparation being made or issues that will deliver on momentum, but they are not actually seeing the delivery of affordable homes for themselves or their children, friends and...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (13 Dec 2022)

Ivana Bacik: At the risk of another Elvis moment, I wish the Taoiseach well in our last engagement on Leaders' Questions. I wish him well in whatever his future role may be. The Taoiseach may wish to indicate at this point in what role he will be returning to the Dáil in the new year. Suspicious minds - Members can see what I did there - are suggesting that it will be in a new role as Minister for...

I absolutely agree with the Minister of State. I would be delighted to move forward with this Bill in a spirit of collaboration as he and the Minister have suggested. Indeed, I already indicated to the Minister that I will take...
