Gary Gannon: 1101. To ask the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if any welfare studies have been conducted by his Department or Veterinary Ireland on the physical and mental trauma hares suffer as a result of coursing; and if not, the reasoning for allowing wild animals to be captured, traumatised, injured, and killed for the sake of entertainment and gambling.

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Schools Building Projects (30 Mar 2023)

Gary Gannon: I want to speak about Gaelscoil Choláiste Mhuire, Parnell Square in Dublin 1. Some of the stories and the image given of the square paint a pretty negative picture of the building itself, but contained in it are incredible teachers and wonderful students who for decades have been failed by the infrastructure and not by the intention of those who teach and provide care within it....

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Schools Building Projects (30 Mar 2023)

Gary Gannon: I thank the Minister of State for stepping in to give the response. I appreciate this is not his Department. I am also conscious that should an answer such as this be given about a school in his area, he would not be satisfied. None of us would be. I appreciate there are capital construction costs and increasing construction costs due to a number of factors, not least the war in Ukraine....

Report of the Independent Review Group on Dignity and Equality Issues in the Defence Forces: Statements (30 Mar 2023)

Gary Gannon: Bullying, harassment, intimidation, discrimination, assault and rape - what is hazing if not a form of torture? - are the conditions for women in the Defence Forces, as captured in this report. They are nothing short of medieval. The report by the independent review group has revealed heinous crimes of the very worst kind, many of which may still be happening to this day. The details and...

Education and the School Building Programme: Motion [Private Members] (29 Mar 2023)

Gary Gannon: I acknowledge the Labour Party for bringing forward this important motion. I must highlight the Minister's initial response. She set an unfortunate tone when she said that the motion represents yet another cynical attempt by the Opposition to undermine and misrepresent all that the Government continues to achieve in education. Are we not involved in successive campaigns by parents reaching...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Fuel Poverty (28 Mar 2023)

Gary Gannon: That is really important information about the heating supplement being paid outside of the winter months. How many families are aware of that? For example, if you take the figure of two out of every five families in the country being cast into energy poverty several months ago, I imagine some sort of awareness campaign is needed so people know there are supports. I accept there are...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Fuel Poverty (28 Mar 2023)

Gary Gannon: 84. To ask the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection if her Department will ensure that households that have accumulated significant debts, including arrears on bills and on prepayment meters, have access to sufficient support to avoid a long-term legacy of indebtedness and reduced financial resilience among the poorest households in Ireland; and if she will make a statement...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Fuel Poverty (28 Mar 2023)

Gary Gannon: I thank the Minister of State for his response. If we cast our minds back to the colder months of last year and early this year, in November, December and January, the issue on most of our lips was energy poverty and the number of families being cast into it. Two in every five households were experiencing energy poverty at that time. If we turn then to today, while the weather has changed...

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?...
