Máire Devine: Is it €2,000 or €3,000?

Transparency for Supermarket Profits: Motion [Private Members] (9 Jul 2025)

Máire Devine: The cost of every single aspect of life in Ireland has been on a constant upward trajectory since Covid arrived in 2020. Yes, we can point to Russia's invasion of Ukraine as a cause for the increase in energy costs, which in turn caused food prices to increase around the world, but when energy costs eventually decreased, our food and goods prices did not follow. Supply costs are impacted by...

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (10 Jul 2025)

Máire Devine: Thirty-three children in the GAA Palestine club were due to travel. I know he is very aware of the issue as a lot of my colleagues have raised it. Seven days prior to travel, they were told they need to provide more information and it has been quite devastating and upsetting for the coaches, for the hosts, for both Deputy Ó Snodaigh and me and for the Good Counsel club in Drimnagh,...

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Engagement with the Central Bank of Ireland (8 Jul 2025)

Máire Devine: I thank Mr. Madouros for his presentation. There is a lot to it so I will just concentrate on construction of housing, which is the biggest challenge facing us in the country. The article today in The Irish Times gives data from AIB showing that the volume of homebuilding in Ireland decreased again in June, for the second month in a row. This is the fastest rate of decline in 18 months....

Domestic, Sexual and Gender-Based Violence: Statements (10 Jul 2025)

Máire Devine: I would like to greet the survivors of domestic, intimate partner, sexual and gender-based violence in the Gallery as well as those at home. Some of you may not be able to pursue justice through our legal system for myriad reasons. We see you and we stand with you always. Every one of us knows a victim of crime in this very broad category, including behaviour which might not previously...

Pride: Statements (16 Jul 2025)

Máire Devine: I grew up in a very republican household. I was taught well by my father the values of service to the community and inclusion. I see parallels with Pride and the LGBT community in our country. Our queer comrades were oppressed by means of unfair laws, church doctrine and social stigma. The first Pride march in Dublin took place in June 1983 amid a culture of violence perpetrated against...

Central Bank (Amendment) Bill 2025: Second Stage [Private Members] (17 Jul 2025)

Máire Devine: At the outset, we welcome this Bill. Ensuring the right to be forgotten is essential for people who have overcome cancer. For people who face a diagnosis of that kind, purchasing a home might not be the first thing on their mind but shelter and owning a home are so important that many will quickly realise they are facing not only a battle with cancer but, even when they are on the far side...

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Quarterly Economic Commentary: Economic and Social Research Institute (15 Jul 2025)

Máire Devine: Okay. We do not have to live in them, probably. My time is short. I thank Dr. O'Toole for that. I will pick up on something he said to my colleague Deputy Farrell. He spoke about the tariffs and the exports but he broke it down with respect to pharmaceuticals - and it is pharmaceuticals we are talking about. If pharmaceutical products are just sent to America for in-house health...

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Quarterly Economic Commentary: Economic and Social Research Institute (15 Jul 2025)

Máire Devine: It could be something for our side to negotiate with as well. It could be a deal with America for the American market and then there could be the rest. The figures on that would be interesting, so it is not as scary-looking to everybody. It might help a little to steady the ship. We are not going to lose everything.

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Quarterly Economic Commentary: Economic and Social Research Institute (15 Jul 2025)

Máire Devine: Yes, okay.

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Quarterly Economic Commentary: Economic and Social Research Institute (15 Jul 2025)

Máire Devine: There was high inflation between 2022 and 2023 with Covid and Russia's invasion of Ukraine and then there was stabilisation between 2023 and 2024. However, in October of last year, it started to rise again, and across the eurozone. Do the ESRI know of a concise summary of the domestic and outside influences on that? Is it attributable to Israel's genocide in Gaza or its attacks on Iran and...

Written Answers — Department of Health: Vaccination Programme (15 Jul 2025)

Máire Devine: 930. To ask the Minister for Health whether the shingles vaccine will be made available to the public; if so, when (details supplied). [39153/25]

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Quarterly Economic Commentary: Economic and Social Research Institute (15 Jul 2025)

Máire Devine: The ESRI's quarterly economic summary states it expects unemployment to remain low and wage growth to exceed inflation this year and in 2026. That would be welcome in my constituency, Dublin South-Central, and across the country. The most pressing need that underpins everything in this country is housing. My colleague spoke about this previously. There is a kind of depressing forecast for...

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Pre-Budget Engagement (18 Sep 2025)

Máire Devine: The "degree of looseness" in the run-up to the election of 2024 was mentioned. I like it. It is a nice, polite phrase. Coming from an Opposition party, I would call it a sweetener for getting votes. It was also trying to pull the wool over people's eyes, which sometimes they do successfully. The population is set to increase, they reckon, almost to 7 million, on a good day or a bad day...

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Pre-Budget Engagement (18 Sep 2025)

Máire Devine: I only have 11 seconds left.

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Pre-Budget Engagement (18 Sep 2025)

Máire Devine: I do not mean to be rude here, but would the ESRI say that it had failed to influence the Government to do this longer term output, if the ESRI was set up to do that, diagnose the output and perform a deep dive into it?

Máire Devine: 1618. To ask the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice and Equality for the total number of emergency phone calls received by An Garda Síochána relating to domestic, sexual, and gender based violence in 2022, 2023, and 2024, including but not limited, to coercive control, breach of interim barring order, breach of protection order, breach of barring order, breach of safety order,...
