- Committee on Disability Matters: Progressing the Delivery of Disability Policy and Services: Discussion (Resumed) (25 Jun 2025)
Maurice Quinlivan: Before we move on to round two, I want to ask a quick question. In her opening statement, Dr. Hartney stated that the ratification of the protocol is very welcome but that its purpose is to serve as a point of escalation once all national remedies have been exhausted. What did she mean by the phrase "national remedies have been exhausted"? She also said that it is likely to be too early...

Maurice Quinlivan: Before the witnesses answer, I should say that I understand they might not be aware of the full details of this issue. I do not expect them to be. The witnesses can answer this question in broad terms if they prefer. The Deputy's concern is that this project is going ahead with no local services. I think that would be more accurate.

In the opening statement it was said that the National Disability Authority is a statutory agency to provide guidance and advice to the Government . Without pre-empting what the committee might decide later, I imagine that all the members are practically and really concerned about...
- Ábhair Shaincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Matters: An Garda Síochána (24 Jun 2025)
Maurice Quinlivan: I was really disappointed with the Minister of State's response. There was nothing new that we did not know about before we came in here tonight. It pains me when I talk about these issues in the city of Limerick that I love but it pains me more to see ordinary working families being abandoned by the State. In 2008, Limerick had 92 community gardaí; we now have 30. In 2008, John...

- Ábhair Shaincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Matters: An Garda Síochána (24 Jun 2025)
Maurice Quinlivan: No disrespect to the Minister of State but I am really disappointed that nobody from the Department of justice is present. This is a really important issue as my colleague has outlined. I will preface my comments by saying the Government really needs to intervene here. It needs to commit to a fully resourced Garda operation targeting drug dealing and feuding in order that hardworking...
