- Criminal Justice (Smuggling of Persons) Bill 2021 [Seanad]: Committee Stage (Resumed) and Remaining Stages (8 Dec 2021)
Peadar Tóibín: This is a very important debate. I will be supporting Deputy Connolly's amendments, both in terms of providing the House with the statistics on prosecutions but also with regard to the protection of smuggled persons from prosecutions from the act of being smuggled. The Bill is silent on the rights of smuggled persons - victims - and that is wrong. I have no doubt that fear of prosecution...
- Health and Criminal Justice (Covid-19) (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill 2021: Committee and Remaining Stages (8 Dec 2021)
Peadar Tóibín: The Minister talks about public health advice as if it is a uniform issue. He acts as if it is singular and there are no differences of opinion in public health advice, or that it is given down from on high. The truth of the matter is there are many different public health advices. Every single country in the EU has a chief medical officer who delivers public health advice and much of that...
- Health and Criminal Justice (Covid-19) (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill 2021: Committee and Remaining Stages (8 Dec 2021)
Peadar Tóibín: It is important that this Dáil and our elected representatives have the opportunity to push hard at the people who are behind the decisions and who are making them. There is no doubt in my mind that many decisions have emanated from NPHET which we have not been able to challenge. I have asked journalists to attend press conferences and ask questions of NPHET so we could get a better...
- Health and Criminal Justice (Covid-19) (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill 2021: Committee and Remaining Stages (8 Dec 2021)
Peadar Tóibín: It is the scrutiny element of the amendment that I am speaking to now. I will come to a close now but I have a question similar to the one that was asked earlier. The Covid pass currently allows people with Covid to circulate in hospitality and stops people who may not have Covid from doing so. If the Government's logic is to be followed, it will have to change it to cover only people who...

- Ceisteanna - Questions: Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (7 Dec 2021)
Peadar Tóibín: There is a crisis of confidence in policing in many nationalist and republican areas in the North of Ireland. That is not a wild claim. It is a real issue. A PSNI report on policing in south Armagh stated that little progress had been achieved on policing in south Armagh since the Good Friday Agreement. South Armagh is not alone. I have spoken to nationalists from Tyrone and Derry who...
- Ceisteanna - Questions: Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (7 Dec 2021)
Peadar Tóibín: The USA is not sending officials to the winter Olympics due to China's human rights abuses. Ms Emma Reilly was recently sacked by the UN, reportedly because she blew the whistle on a practice whereby the UN provides to Chinese diplomats the names of Uighurhuman rights campaigners. She said she has the documents to prove it. In 2013 Emma received an email from Chinese diplomats asking her...

Peadar Tóibín: An in-depth TILDA - The Irish LongituDinal Study on Ageing - report published recently showed there is currently a crisis among older people in the State. Physical activity by older people during Covid is at 22% lower than it should be. Loneliness is a significant issue as well and the figures indicate there is double the level of loneliness that existed before the crisis. Loneliness is a...
- Order of Business (7 Dec 2021)
Peadar Tóibín: Today, we in Aontú launched a Bill seeking a commission of investigation into the management of nursing homes during the Covid crisis. The majority of people in the State who have died during the pandemic caught Covid in a hospital or a nursing home. Indeed, more than 2,000 people died after contracting Covid in a nursing home. Many of their families are deeply distressed and want to...
