Marie Sherlock: I thank Senator Craughwell. Obviously, in my capacity as Chair, I am limited in what I can say from this position. The record will clearly show the questions that have been set out here today at length. I am conscious that Senator Doherty wants to make another contribution. Then we will have to put the question.

- Seanad: Sick Leave Bill 2022: Committee Stage (Resumed) and Remaining Stages (29 Jun 2022)
Marie Sherlock: I spoke earlier to amendment No. 17. There is an important point here. We have heard Senators speak about the impact on and the cost to businesses and justify the payment of 70% of the daily rate. I remain absolutely opposed to that because low-paid workers cannot afford to go out sick on 70% of the daily rate. To pick up on something Senator Seery Kearney talked about, we know that in...

- Seanad: Payment of Wages (Amendment) (Tips and Gratuities) Bill 2022: Committee and Remaining Stages (29 Jun 2022)
Marie Sherlock: I pay tribute to Senator Gavin on his Bill and to the Government for running with this Bill. The service charges issue is a rare example of the Government taking on board a point raised on Second Stage and introducing an amendment. I welcome this. I am delighted Joe Cunningham, Fiona Dunne and Clem Shevlin are present. It is through their campaigning that we have the Bill. Senator Casey...

- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (28 Jun 2022)
Marie Sherlock: I raise the statement of the Minister of State, Deputy Madigan, last week regarding four schools. I think it is fair to say this was a stunt designed to cover up the failures within the Department of Education. The hurt and negative aspersions that have been cast over the four schools have been very damaging. One of the schools, St. Gabriel's National School in Stoneybatter, has a great...
- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (23 Jun 2022)
Marie Sherlock: Last week I read into the record the names of 19 artists’ studios that closed in this city over the past decade. Today another name is being added to that list. I am really saddened that artists at Richmond Road Studios are effectively being shut out of their place of work and creativity as of today. We need to hear from the responsible Minister, Deputy Catherine Martin, about what...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Remediation of Dwellings Damaged by the Use of Defective Concrete Blocks Bill 2022: Discussion (23 Jun 2022)
Marie Sherlock: It is welcome that the committee is hosting this hearing and that this is the second session so far. I refer to the definition of "defective blocks" within the proposed legislation. What minerals will that include? How complete a definition are we likely to have? The pyrrhotite is a defect that is new to some of us, although, obviously, not to all present. How do we ensure we are future...
