Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Engagement with Co-operation and Working Together (10 Feb 2022)

Peadar Tóibín: Scale is very important to me, although I appreciate that it might not be part of CAWT's mandate. I fully respect that CAWT is fulfilling its mandate. However, scale is important. Obviously, there are 1 million people on health waiting lists in the South, and 250,000 people in the North are on health waiting lists for over a year. How do we scale up the delivery of services on a...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Engagement with Co-operation and Working Together (10 Feb 2022)

Peadar Tóibín: Mr. McCallion mentioned community paramedics. Again, this question might not relate specifically to CAWT's mandate. It may do, however. Is there a cross-Border ambulance service? Is that a possibility? There would obviously be a benefit in it, considering it can be very difficult to get an ambulance in a Border area. Does CAWT's remit function in that space?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Engagement with Co-operation and Working Together (10 Feb 2022)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Engagement with Co-operation and Working Together (10 Feb 2022)

Peadar Tóibín: Covid-19 was obviously the biggest health threat to the island of Ireland over the past two years. Again this may be outside CAWT's mandate, but there were two separate approaches to restrictions and two separate vaccination programmes. Everything was disjointed between North and South. There were times when illness raged in the North and was lower in the South, yet we saw when Derry was...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Engagement with Co-operation and Working Together (10 Feb 2022)

Peadar Tóibín: Is there any institutional investigation happening in the North on the delivery of policies against Covid-19? Other countries are having investigations or reviews. Is that happening in the North?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Engagement with Co-operation and Working Together (10 Feb 2022)

Ceisteanna - Questions: Departmental Functions (9 Feb 2022)

Peadar Tóibín: Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael present themselves as parties of the free market. In many ways both parties have skewed the housing market significantly. A young family looking to buy a house needs to compete with an institution that has a tax regime not comparable to the young family's. It may pay no tax, but certainly pays a very small amount compared with the family it is competing...

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (9 Feb 2022)

Peadar Tóibín: The Limerick Treaty Suicide Prevention team patrols the River Shannon at night to prevent suicide or accidental death but it is without a base. It has no building or location for operations and it is currently working out of a van. If somebody is suicidal, he or she clearly needs privacy and support when waiting for an ambulance. Such people need to be away from cameras and video devices....

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (9 Feb 2022)

Peadar Tóibín: Ten days ago the Taoiseach laid a wreath at the Bloody Sunday Memorial in Derry. At the time and since then the Taoiseach has indicated the families of those who were lost, who were murdered, on Bloody Sunday need to find justice. We are looking at the likelihood that there is going to be an amnesty. If there is an amnesty in the North of Ireland, it means there is no rule of law and that...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (9 Feb 2022)

Peadar Tóibín: On 5 February 1992, the UDA murdered five nationalists and wounded another nine in the Sean Graham bookmaker shop on the Lower Ormeau Road in Belfast. Two men wearing boiler suits and balaclavas pumped 44 bullets into the victims. The names of the five Catholic men and boys were: Christy Doherty, aged 52; Jack Duffin, aged 66; James Kennedy, aged 15; Peter Magee, aged 18; and William...

National Minimum Wage: Motion [Private Members] (9 Feb 2022)

Peadar Tóibín: It is important that as a State, we start to analyse what we are doing to respond to the cost of living. It is interesting that we are having this debate over the wages of people who are on the lowest level of income in the State, and the Government is pouring water on any opportunity to see those incomes rise. That is in stark contrast to the Government's attitude to the likes of Robert...
