Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (9 Mar 2023)

Mark Ward: The decision to end the eviction ban just shows how out of touch the Government is with the reality of the housing crisis. What has been done is inhumane and has put unnecessary pressure on thousands of families across the State. I refer to the case of a young mother in my area and her two young children who, through no fault of their own, presented as homeless to South Dublin County...

Comóradh Sheachtain na Gaeilge: Ráitis (9 Mar 2023)

Mark Ward: I will go first because Deputy Ó Murchú does not trust himself with the time. Tá mé ríméadach an deis seo a fháil chun labhairt le linn Seachtain na Gaeilge. Níl mé líofa agus ní raibh mo chlann líofa sa Ghaeilge nuair a tógadh mé. Nuair a bhí mé sa bhunscoil agus sa mheánscoil, bhí an Ghaeilge ina...

Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth: Youth Work and Integrated Care and Education: Discussion (21 Mar 2023)

Mark Ward: I have really enjoyed this meeting. It has been very informative. It was mentioned that a report would come out from this. This place just publishes reports and nothing happens to them. It is incumbent on the witnesses and us to make sure that there is action on that report and that we follow up. If the committee runs into barriers in getting actions on the recommendations of that...

Eviction Ban: Motion [Private Members] (21 Mar 2023)

Mark Ward: I have been listening to the Minister and other Government Deputies and Ministers on the radio and television during the week trying to defend the indefensible action of not extending this eviction ban. They are far disconnected from the reality of what it is like to be homeless. Do any of them know what it is like to be homeless and to experience that trauma? Do they know what it is like...

Joint Committee On Health: Dual Diagnosis and Mental Health: Discussion (21 Mar 2023)

Mark Ward: I thank everyone. I am sitting here enjoying the debate. I really do not want to take part in it because it is so good. I met several of the witnesses before in different walks of life and other professions. Dual diagnosis is something I have always been passionate about. As someone who has worked in addiction and community services, as was said and articulated much better by the...
