An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (28 Mar 2023)

Gary Gannon: Today's session began with a rather crass debate as to whether 4,000 notices of termination would result in 4,000 families being evicted. The Taoiseach maintains that this would not be the case, and that is fine. What modelling does the Government have of exactly how many families will be evicted? What percentage of the figure of 4,000 to which I refer does the Taoiseach find tolerable?...

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (23 Mar 2023)

Gary Gannon: Contained in the programme for Government is a commitment to have a referendum on placing a right to housing in our Constitution. I believe it was last March, a year ago, when the Minister responsible for housing, Deputy Darragh O’Brien, announced that the wording of the referendum was due in the early part of this year. While I understand the wording is tied up in legal argument at...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: State Examinations (23 Mar 2023)

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: State Examinations (23 Mar 2023)

Gary Gannon: As the Minister is aware, Epilepsy Ireland has long campaigned to ensure that if a student experiences a medical emergency, such as a seizure, during the leaving certificate exam and is unable to complete the exam, he or she should be given the opportunity to resit the exam within the deferred exam cycle. The fact that this is not already the case is beyond belief. I raised this matter...

Gary Gannon: I appreciate that there is so much going on in the world, particularly in respect of Russia's inhumane invasion of Ukraine and the migration crisis, which I hope to get to shortly, but it is impossible to avert our gaze from what is occurring in Palestine right now.
