Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (17 Jun 2025)

Ivana Bacik: There is a real concern that we will be simply unable to meet our targets. Figures from the CSO, published last week, show 22% of Ireland's electricity in 2024 was consumed by data centres and that demand had increased by 10% in one year. We recently saw the Secretary General of the Department of the environment raising concerns about the potential conflict between expanding data centres...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (17 Jun 2025)

Ivana Bacik: There are some indications that, for example, data centres themselves can drive change and ensure they become net zero but we need the Government to take the lead on this.

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (17 Jun 2025)

Ivana Bacik: I want to raise the pressing issue of institutional abuse. We know that survivors deserve justice and fair redress but for far too long institutions, and religious-run orders in particular, have been able to evade accountability for abuse carried out under their watch. Last year, we saw the National Board for Safeguarding Children in the Catholic Church recording more allegations of abuse...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (17 Jun 2025)

Ivana Bacik: People will gather to send a strong message to the Government. It is time for a radical reset of housing policy. No more incoherent policy changes. We need to see the radical reset the Housing Commission has called for because only the State has the deep pockets necessary to underwrite the construction of homes at the scale that is needed. The Government must scale up its effort and...

Ivana Bacik: We cannot. We are not in the Government.

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (17 Jun 2025)

Ivana Bacik: Anybody watching will be wondering when the Government is going to take political responsibility for the housing crisis. He is the Taoiseach and is in government. His party and Fine Gael have effectively governed together for the best part of a decade and yet, he is resorting to throwing critiques at the Opposition for not building homes. We are in opposition. The Labour Party, as the...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (17 Jun 2025)

Ivana Bacik: After the general election, all the briefing from the Government was that it was ready to take what it called "difficult decisions" to fix this housing disaster. In recent weeks, it has certainly been difficult to watch his Government's chaotic decision-making - its U-turns, drip-feeds and hasty rewrites of flawed press releases. Undoubtedly, the Taoiseach and the Minister, Deputy Browne,...

Ivana Bacik: He made it sound like it was a "gotcha" moment for him.

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (17 Jun 2025)

Ivana Bacik: It is hardly gotcha. Of course, we welcome decisions that are taken by the Government that we believe will fix the housing crisis. We support the extension of RPZs across the country, but not a hollowed out version of RPZs that offer no real protections for renters. This was not a gotcha moment for landlords because last week he gave them a generous nine months' notice of his mooted plans....
