Marie Sherlock: Last week, we saw the culmination of 80 years of work in the OECD with the reaching of an historic agreement for fair tax competition across the developed and developing world. However, the Government decided to stand apart from 131 other countries by not supporting the agreement in full. There are serious questions for the Government, to which we need answers in this House. We need to...

Seanad: Private Security Services (Amendment) Bill 2021: Second Stage (6 Jul 2021)

Marie Sherlock: I also very much welcome the Bill.At its heart is an amendment to the principal Act to broaden the list of those who are regulated under that Act and to ensure that the category of enforcement guard will be included on that list. I very much welcome section 4, which is the amendment to section 26 of the principal Act. It is important that the PSA can take action with regard to officers of...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (12 Jul 2021)

Marie Sherlock: On behalf of the Labour Party group, I thank the Cathaoirleach, the Leader and everybody else for their congratulatory words to Deputy Bacik. I know she would be very touched by all the kind words and messages from Senators from across the Chamber on Friday, over the weekend and today. It is, of course, an enormous privilege for her to have been elected as a Deputy for Dublin Bay South. It...

Seanad: Finance (Covid-19 and Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2021: Second Stage (12 Jul 2021)

Marie Sherlock: I thank the Minister of State for coming into the House. We all need to recognise the necessity for the extensions contained within the Bill as they relate to the EWSS and the CRSS. In that context, we would have been minded to support the Bill were it not for section 13 and the railroading of section 14 into the Bill, which means we cannot support it. Before I deal with those sections I...

We have seen two very serious challenges to workers’ rights...

It is great to see them as worked alongside them for many years. There is very much a common agenda here in that we need to ensure the survival of the retail sector. It is the largest employer in the country, and one which is in every town, village, city and...

Seanad: CervicalCheck Tribunal (Amendment) Bill 2021: Second Stage (15 Jul 2021)

Marie Sherlock: Cuirim fáilte roimh an Aire. The Labour Party will be supporting this legislation, as we did in the Dáil. It is a technical amendment to the 2019 Bill to extend the existence of the tribunal. This in itself is unobjectionable. We will not be found wanting in ensuring those who want to go through the tribunal can do so. I must express frustration, however, as have others, that...

Seanad: Land Development Agency Bill 2021: Report and Final Stages (15 Jul 2021)

Marie Sherlock: I am speaking to amendment No. 22, which seeks to delete section 58 of the Bill. Time and again, as we have heard this afternoon in this Chamber, we hear about the importance of the role of local authorities with regard to city and county development plans and all the other great work they do. The reality for many of us who have sat on a local authority, however, is that very few powers are...

I thank the Cathaoirleach for his great encouragement and especially to those of...

Seanad: Health (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill 2021: Second and Subsequent Stages (16 Jul 2021)

Marie Sherlock: Cuirim fáilte roimh an Aire. I am certainly one of the people who is very worried about the current infection numbers, where they will go and the possibility that restrictions in some other form will need to be reimposed. That is shared by many in the community. Alongside that worry is the sense that for workers, young people, those living on their own and families, we must now start...

We are very grateful to Sadaka and to Mr. Lovatt and Mr. Konený for all their work...
