Taxes Consolidation Act 1997 (Covid Restrictions Support Scheme) (Percentage Adjustment) Order 2021: Motion (27 Jan 2021)

Maurice Quinlivan: I support the Sinn Féin amendment tabled by my colleague, Deputy Doherty. It is a vital amendment and it addresses the people who have not been able to avail of this scheme. The continuation and adjustment of the Covid support scheme is vital work that we must complete and I echo the comments of my colleagues regarding the necessity of sustaining and amending it. Businesses have...

Criminal Justice (Public Order) (Quadbikes and Scramblers) (Amendment) Bill 2021: First Stage (27 Jan 2021)

Maurice Quinlivan: We have spoken on this in the House on a number of occasions, including in a previous Dáil, and it is an issue that needs to be addressed. Unfortunately, it overwhelmingly affects working-class communities and that is why I believe no action has been taken on it to date. Scramblers and quad bikes are also a nuisance to local communities across the State. We have seen greenways and...

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (27 Jan 2021)

Maurice Quinlivan: Last week, I raised this issue with the Taoiseach and told him there would be a meeting on Friday. That meeting with the Minister, Deputy Ryan, took place and there is only one word to describe it, which is disastrous. He walked into the Moyross community and told them what was best for them and did not listen to what they said. This road is critical infrastructure for the regeneration...

Maurice Quinlivan: Would anybody else like to contribute? Nobody else seems to have indicated. On the comments Mr. Drennan made on the question from Deputy O'Reilly on a previous case that collapsed, I would be interested to tease those out with him at another time. I will not do so at this committee but I refer to Mr. Drennan's response to her. On the Bill we are talking about now, I reiterate how...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (20 Jan 2021)

Maurice Quinlivan: The programme for Government states, "We will continue to invest in new roads infrastructure to ensure that all parts of Ireland are connected to each other." I do not expect the Taoiseach to know about every single road across the State, but in my constituency of Limerick there is a road of which he should be aware of, namely, the Coonagh to Knockalisheen road. I ask the Taoiseach to...

Pay for Student Nurses and Midwives: Motion [Private Members] (20 Jan 2021)

Maurice Quinlivan: This motion is about fairness and respect for student nurses and midwives. We have systemic understaffing in the health service. This predates Covid, but Covid has exacerbated the difficulty. Nowhere is this problem more evident than in my local hospital, University Hospital Limerick, UHL, in the constituency of Limerick City. Twice so far in 2021 we have had 66 patients being treated on...

Covid-19 (Health): Statements (13 Jan 2021)

Maurice Quinlivan: I have raised the issue of University Hospital Limerick with the Minister on a number of occasions. I raised it in the previous Dáil at every opportunity. Unfortunately, there is an ongoing trolley crisis at the hospital, with 66 patients on trolleys there as we speak. In light of the alarming rise in Covid cases in my home city of Limerick, I am again really concerned about...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (17 Dec 2020)

Maurice Quinlivan: In part of the Ceann Comhairle's review of 2020 he told us how bizarre the world was. Bizarre was having the all-Ireland final in December. I congratulate the Limerick team on winning. It gave joy to everybody in Limerick and our diaspora across the world and, because of the amazing team it was, to all hurling fans everywhere. I want to raise the issue of the Coonagh to Knockalisheen...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Corporate Governance (17 Dec 2020)

Maurice Quinlivan: The Companies (Corporate Enforcement Authority) Bill 2018 is important legislation. We met a couple of months ago and we discussed it briefly. If it is delivered, it could have a real impact on the issue of so-called white collar crime, or more aptly, economic crime. I look forward to the Bill coming before the Joint Committee on Enterprise, Trade and Employment in the new year. A fully...

I hope that will happen. We want to meet the...

Maurice Quinlivan: I would like to put on the record my thanks for the work done by the former Chairman of the committee, Deputy Butler, now Minister of State at the Department of Health, to try to progress this Bill. There were a number of legal and other reasons that did not happen. Hopefully, it will happen next year. We are in broad agreement on the need for structural change to the ODCE. We all...
