Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (4 Oct 2022)

Ivana Bacik: We know the greatest risk to jobs and economic recovery this winter is the ever-growing cost of energy and the energy security crisis, yet the Government has not countenanced any kind of cap on energy prices despite most other EU countries pursuing some version of a cap.

Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (4 Oct 2022)

Ivana Bacik: I thank the Taoiseach for the report on the Cabinet committee on education. A number of relevant questions arise. First, when will we see a date for junior certificate results? I note a events company in Cork is suggesting it will be around 12 October. Approximately 130,000 students and their parents are waiting the results but no date has been set. I would welcome a response on that...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (4 Oct 2022)

Ivana Bacik: More than 100,000 homes are affected by construction defects, representing 80% of apartments built between 1991 and 2013. This represents a systemic failing in the construction sector.

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (29 Sep 2022)

Ivana Bacik: Tuesday's treadmill budget did not do anything like enough for those who are renting and have no security or affordability with regard to their homes. In my constituency, renters pay an average of €2,000 per month, which amounts to €24,000 per year. For them, the €500 tax credit proposed by the Government, while welcome, is merely a drop in the ocean. Will the...
