National Famine Commemoration Day Bill 2017: Second Stage [Private Members] (21 Feb 2017)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I welcome the Bill and I have no problem with whoever produces it or gets it through the House. That was the intention of Mr. Michael Blanch when he first wrote to me and others many years ago. He wanted to get at least one day per year with a designation to remember an droch shaol.

I urge her and other Ministers to support the Industrial Relations (Right to Access) (Amendment) Bill when it comes before...

Topical Issue Debate: Industrial Disputes (16 Feb 2017)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: As we know, Tesco workers began industrial action on Tuesday, which was St. Valentine's Day. It was not for the fun of it; rather, it was to ensure that their employer would honour the workers' terms and conditions. In this day and age it is an absolute disgrace that they would have to do so and that proper workers' rights are not enshrined in legislation to protect them and their terms and...

Other Questions: Air Corps Equipment (15 Feb 2017)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I welcome the clarification the Minister of State has given on the military authorities' response to the HSA report. I was concerned that they waited until the report was finalised before taking any action.
