Energy Prices: Motion [Private Members] (6 Oct 2021)

Johnny Mythen: It beggars belief that in 2021 we, as a society, are failing to fully protect citizens from fuel poverty and hypothermia. That should be the first duty of any republic. There are thousands of older people who survive solely on State pensions. There are thousands of families living on the minimum wage. There are thousands of small businesses that are all facing a bleak winter as a result...

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (30 Sep 2021)

Johnny Mythen: I raise the lack of day care services for people with dementia in County Wexford. It is my understanding the county has never had such a service, even though the frightening statistics say there are 11,000 new cases of dementia per year throughout this State.

Housing for All: Statements (Resumed) (29 Sep 2021)

Johnny Mythen: The housing crisis is having a colossal effect on hard-working families and individuals. What is in this plan for the 137,000 workers on the national minimum wage or for workers on the average industrial wage who cannot get a mortgage from a bank but who do not qualify for social housing? Meanwhile, they face skyrocketing rents and increases in the cost of living. Have we learned nothing...

Garda Siochana (Functions and Operational Areas) Bill 2021: Second Stage (22 Sep 2021)

Johnny Mythen: Sinn Féin is broadly in favour of this Bill. It includes major changes in the structures of An Garda Síochána and it is complex, to say the least. Moving from districts to divisions is a significant step which will see changes among the rank and file and in respect of some duties, functions and supports in each division. However, I am from County Wexford, as is the Minister...
