Financial Provisions (Covid-19) (No. 2) Bill 2020: Second Stage (Resumed) (29 Jul 2020)

Carol Nolan: I am happy to speak on this important but technical Bill. As we know, the purpose of the Bill is in part to provide access to funding sources by enabling the State to participate in European instruments designed to deal with economic impacts of Covid-19. One of the main instruments is the European scheme for temporary support to mitigate unemployment risks in an emergency, SURE. With...

Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Covid-19: The Situation in Meat Processing Plants (13 Aug 2020)

Carol Nolan: I represent the Laois-Offaly constituency. I thank the witnesses for their comprehensive presentations, which contained a lot of information. The treatment of workers in our meat factories is totally unacceptable and a disgrace, but is hardly surprising when we think of how our farmers have been treated for decades. The meat price is still not what it should be. It should be at least...

Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Covid-19: The Situation in Meat Processing Plants (13 Aug 2020)

Carol Nolan: I am delighted to be here today in place of Deputy Michael Collins who kindly facilitated me. I represent the Laois-Offaly constituency, which has been very badly affected by this issue.

Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Covid 19: Implications of a Zero-Covid Island Policy (13 Aug 2020)

Carol Nolan: I thank the witnesses for their presentation. I am from Offaly, one of the lockdown counties, and I represent Laois and Offaly. I completely disagree with the decision, and it was completely over the top to lock down three entire counties when there were clusters. We have all been told we must live with the virus but common sense must kick in very fast. I want to take up a point raised...

Criminal Justice (Enforcement Powers) (Covid-19) Bill 2020: Second Stage (2 Sep 2020)

Carol Nolan: I welcome the important opportunity to speak on this piece of legislation, which I feel is over the top and unnecessary. Some of the major concerns with this Bill have already been outlined by my colleagues in the Rural Independent Group. I wish to echo many of those concerns as a rural Deputy for Laois-Offaly. One of my most significant fears concerning this Bill is that we are entering...

Criminal Justice (Enforcement Powers) (Covid-19) Bill 2020: Committee Stage (3 Sep 2020)

Carol Nolan: I strongly oppose this measure. It is unnecessary and very divisive. What we need at this time is collaboration and consultation with businesses, many of which are on their knees. I wish to point out that the vast majority of pubs and restaurants have been very responsible and have gone beyond what has been asked of them in terms of putting safety measures in place. The Bill is...

Criminal Justice (Enforcement Powers) (Covid-19) Bill 2020: Committee Stage (3 Sep 2020)

Carol Nolan: The social distancing occurs naturally. There is a total disconnect with rural Ireland and what is happening there. This will cause more division because people have gone out of their way. There is a very small element in big cities where there were breaches and which needs to be monitored. I absolutely agree that they should be monitored, but rural businesses should not be punished....
