Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Reactivation of Economy Following Pandemic Restrictions: Discussion (Resumed) (23 Jun 2021)

Louise O'Reilly: I thank the witnesses for coming in this morning and the important information they have shared with us. It would be remiss of me not to acknowledge that Ms Farrelly from my area is here. I thank her for being here and for all of the work she and her team have done throughout Covid-19. I have written to her about this as well. It has been outstanding. Notwithstanding the challenges faced...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Reactivation of Economy Following Pandemic Restrictions: Discussion (Resumed) (23 Jun 2021)

Louise O'Reilly: That is the point I take issue with. The Minister has now said she will bring forward primary legislation. Let us bear in mind, shortly before said she was going to bring forward primary legislation, she was tweeting that it was not necessary. This kind of shambolic carry-on is driving business owners and workers up the wall. My time is limited so I want to be very clear. Is Ms Farrelly...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Reactivation of Economy Following Pandemic Restrictions: Discussion (Resumed) (23 Jun 2021)

Louise O'Reilly: That is fine and I thank Ms. Farrelly. I have a question for Mr. Shakespeare on the pedestrianisation of streets. I will use South William Street as an example because it was only partially pedestrianised. As Mr. Shakespeare will know, that causes some issues because cars parks are located at either end of the street. The impression that has gone out is that the people who control the car...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Reactivation of Economy Following Pandemic Restrictions: Discussion (Resumed) (23 Jun 2021)

Louise O'Reilly: I am not sure how many people were in the car parks on South William Street on Friday night, but I know that anyone who was there as a pedestrian was squashed into a much smaller space. It appears that was done to facilitate car park owners. I am not saying that people do not have a need to drive into the city sometimes but it strikes me as being a bit odd that the car park owners appear to...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Covid-19 Pandemic (22 Jun 2021)

Louise O'Reilly: When I said the position was a shambles, this is what I was talking about. The Minister of State indicated that the Minister of Justice had "committed to taking legislative action, if necessary". In the past hour and a half, the Irish Independenthas reported that "Justice Minister Heather Humphreys will bring legislative changes on pubs and restaurants selling alcohol in their outdoor...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Covid-19 Pandemic (22 Jun 2021)

Louise O'Reilly: What is happening at the moment is very much amateur hour stuff from the Government. The Garda issued a statement and then we had the Minister for Justice tweeting about it. The information she gave was not accurate and needs to be corrected. The message was very clear from the Government that we will have an outdoor summer. Restaurateurs and pub owners knew what that meant. We all...

State Pension Age: Motion [Private Members] (22 Jun 2021)

Louise O'Reilly: I will finish shortly and give way. People know that we listened and heard their concerns. They know that we are using our time here this evening to keep this issue on the agenda. It suits the Government to have this issue off the agenda. We know from the Fianna Fáil-Green Party Government record that when its back is to the wall, the first people thrown under the bus are the minimum...

Louise O'Reilly: I welcome the opportunity to speak at the conclusion of this important debate. I thank all of the Deputies for their contributions this evening. I want to draw the Minister of State's attention to the fact that there is no representative from the NWCI on the Pensions Commission. There are named representatives on the Pension Commission. There is one representative from the ICTU and one...
