Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (16 Jul 2025)

Ivana Bacik: I welcome young Olivia Nevin who is in the Gallery with her family. She is up from Cork for a birthday visit to Leinster House. The number of children in homelessness is hurtling towards the 5,000 mark. This would represent a truly shameful new record. The tenant in situ scheme can no longer keep families in their homes because the Department of housing has starved it of cash. Dublin...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (16 Jul 2025)

Ivana Bacik: I am not hearing any acceptance of responsibility. The Taoiseach leads the Government. His party has the housing Ministry, and yet every time any of us in opposition raises the housing crisis with the Taoiseach, he seeks to deflect responsibility, putting it back on the Opposition and suggesting we have no policy. Nothing could be further from the truth. I am very proud of the Labour...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (15 Jul 2025)

Ivana Bacik: I thank the Taoiseach for the update. I note the Taoiseach said there was ongoing engagement with Canada on seeking to work together to stop the brutal war in Gaza. Can the Taoiseach brief more on that and the steps that are ongoing with Canada on that? How closely are the EU and Canada engaging on the tariff threat? We have seen Trump threatening Canada with a further 35% tariff...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (15 Jul 2025)

Ivana Bacik: A great deal has happened since 16 June when the Cabinet committee last met. I will come back to the question of tariffs, which I raised with the Taoiseach during Leaders' Questions. The tariff of 30% now threatened by President Trump would, of course, be ruinous, as the Taoiseach rightly said, for EU-US trade. I asked the Taoiseach what the contingency plan is, given that the adjusted...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (15 Jul 2025)

Ivana Bacik: We have seen yet another Trump tariff turn with his 30% announcement - or threat at least - at the weekend. I know, as the Taoiseach has said, this would be ruinous both for the EU economy and the US. We have also seen the new deadline of 1 August. Speaking with small business owners, they say it is not a relief to see that extended. Rather, it prolongs the uncertainty for business in...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (15 Jul 2025)

Ivana Bacik: We will keep pressing on the occupied territories Bill, but there is more here in Ireland that the Taoiseach's Government could be doing to show solidarity with the people of Palestine and, in particular, the children of Palestine. First, I have been working for some months now seeking urgent action from the Government to bring desperately sick children out of Gaza on a medical evacuation...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (15 Jul 2025)

Ivana Bacik: Last week, I joined an incredibly moving event on Kildare Street. It was organised by Grannies for Palestine. Its members unveiled a patchwork crochet banner that stretched the length of Kildare Street across the front of Leinster House. Devastatingly, each square in the banner was crafted to represent ten Gazan children who have been killed since Hamas's barbaric attack in October 2023....
