An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (21 Oct 2025)

Ivana Bacik: The latest figures from the Department of housing show that, again, the Government will miss its targets for building social and affordable homes this year.

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (21 Oct 2025)

Ivana Bacik: With respect, of course we welcome sustainable measures that will cut costs for families and households. However, let us be clear. The Government's recent budget represented a drop in the ocean at best for families that are hard pressed and cannot make ends meet. It is not just the Labour Party; it is people around the country who are dismayed at the vast cost of the VAT cut that the...

Ivana Bacik: Our thoughts are with the young ten-year-old girl in the care of Tusla who has been the subject of an assault.

Confidence in the Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade: Motion (15 Oct 2025)

Ivana Bacik: On behalf of the Labour Party, I begin by offering our deepest condolences again to Gillian Sherratt and Stephen Morrison, the parents of young Harvey Morrison Sherratt.

I think we can agree that we are all living in the real world. In the real world, it is a good thing that we are having a debate about energy prices.

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

Ivana Bacik: I absolutely reject the idea that we are playing to the Gallery. With respect, what I have heard from the Taoiseach does not do anything for the 300,000 households in arrears on their electricity bills or the 185,000 in arrears on their gas bills. The Taoiseach is talking about reviews and task forces. I do agree structural reform is needed because what we are seeing is that the...
