Health (General Practitioner Service and Alteration of Criteria for Eligibility) Bill 2020: Committee and Remaining Stages (23 Jul 2020)

Carol Nolan: I welcome the fact that up to 300,000 children may benefit from this change but, again, I have a concern that we may be putting the cart before the horse in not addressing the other issues and trying to repair the other cracks in our health service. I am aware, for instance, that an agreement with the Irish Medical Organisation on contractual reform, which was concluded last year, was...

Residential Tenancies and Valuation Bill 2020: Second Stage (28 Jul 2020)

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (28 Jul 2020)

Carol Nolan: I thank the Taoiseach for his response and welcome the fact that the midlands will be prioritised. However, I must outline my concerns with the whole just transition process again.

It is going to have a...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (28 Jul 2020)

Carol Nolan: I fully support the urgent need for the bus and coach sector to receive grants. This is another sector that is coming under attack. I raised this issue with the former Minister, Shane Ross. I was disappointed that no representatives from this sector were on the tourism task force, which made no sense. We need urgent grants but we also need a harmonisation of the VAT rates because...

Social Welfare (Covid-19) (Amendment) Bill 2020: Second Stage (28 Jul 2020)

That should assist in providing a greater degree of certainty for the recipients of the payment. It also allows the Minister to provide for urgent needs payments by way of supplementary welfare allowance. This is particularly important because under the supplementary...
