Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Middle East (30 Nov 2023)

Marian Harkin: I thank the Tánaiste. He has answered the question that we have posed several times today. Like Deputy Haughey, I warmly welcome the release of Emily Hand and the information we have been given about the Irish citizens who have been able to leave Gaza. Will the Tánaiste clarify how many Irish citizens remain in Gaza and how many of those wish to leave, if any? I am not sure of...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Middle East (30 Nov 2023)

Marian Harkin: I fully support the Tánaiste's statement and the wishes of the Dáil to see the humanitarian ceasefire extended, with the aim of making it permanent. I too want to extend the question a little to the issue of the EU-Israel trade agreement. I put down a question and I got a response from the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment, which tells me that this agreement between...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Community Employment Schemes (7 Dec 2023)

Marian Harkin: I know the Minister of State partly answered this in responding to Deputy Ó Laoghaire but I want a further update on the progress made in the claim for pay parity by Tús and RSS supervisors. This has been going on a long time and people feel they are being stonewalled. The fact there are two priority questions on it this morning gives an indication of how important we think it is.

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Community Employment Schemes (7 Dec 2023)

Marian Harkin: I thank the Minister of State. He stated there is a difference in the scope of the work being done. We recognise the work is not identical but it is broadly similar. I have spoken to a number of supervisors and there is little difference. Many workers from RSS and Tús progress onto CE schemes. A supervisor on a CE scheme after ten years gets about €42,000, while one an an RSS...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Community Employment Schemes (7 Dec 2023)

Marian Harkin: I am glad to hear the Minister of State continues in good faith but he does not want to speak about figures. I understand that but that is the reality of people’s pay packets.

Increased Fossil Fuel Divestment: Motion [Private Members] (13 Dec 2023)

Marian Harkin: I thank Deputy Pringle for bringing forward this motion. The principle on which this motion is based, which is increased fossil fuel divestment, is certainly one I fully support. While, unfortunately, the final document from COP28 falls far short of calling for the phasing out of fossil fuels, it does call for an irreversible and accelerated transition from fossil fuels. At a global level,...

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (13 Dec 2023)

Marian Harkin: I welcome the fact that the Taoiseach visited Leitrim village earlier this week. Those who were with him on the day saw that he spent time there, saw the damage for himself and listened to people. He said that assistance would be available quickly. He said it would be available "today or tomorrow". I know that the Department of the Minister, Deputy Humphreys, has humanitarian assistance...
