Student Fees: Motion [Private Members] (8 Jul 2025)

Réada Cronin: I too welcome the students to the Dáil. I listened to the Minister's speech and, like students up and down the country, I am none the wiser. Students have been left under serious pressure over the course of the past few weeks and their college term has not even begun yet. They are meant to be enjoying their summer holidays and getting a summer job. While many students and their...

Domestic, Sexual and Gender-Based Violence: Statements (10 Jul 2025)

Réada Cronin: I welcome the opportunity to speak on this important debate. Cases of domestic, sexual and gender-based violence are at a crisis point. Women's Aid was founded in 1974 and it has been instrumental in responding to the needs of women over the past 50 years. Having begun as a small service, it has grown into a national organisation that directly supports thousands of women throughout the...

Committee on Infrastructure and National Development Plan Delivery: Judicial Review and Appeals Process: Engagement with Courts Service (9 Jul 2025)

Réada Cronin: I thank Ms Denning for her opening statement. There is a certain kind of negative, false narration around judicial reviews that they are blocking necessary infrastructure and that. Where would I find a breakdown of the people or groups that take judicial reviews? I believe it is members of the public, developers, landowners, local authorities and public authorities. Where would I find a...

Committee on Infrastructure and National Development Plan Delivery: Judicial Review and Appeals Process: Engagement with Courts Service (9 Jul 2025)

Réada Cronin: My understanding is that the information the Courts Service has is high level but that only around 40% of judicial reviews are taken by members of the public as such. The majority are landowners, developers and public authorities. It would be nice to get a broad picture if we could have that information.

Committee on Infrastructure and National Development Plan Delivery: Judicial Review and Appeals Process: Engagement with Courts Service (9 Jul 2025)

Réada Cronin: Last week, we had An Coimisiún Pleanála officials in regarding the staffing levels, and the representatives seemed to be quite satisfied with what it has. How does the Courts Service feel? Has it considered the impact on staff and resources following the implementation of the planning Act 2024? There is legislation being rushed through the Dáil tonight on that. My...

Committee on Infrastructure and National Development Plan Delivery: Judicial Review and Appeals Process: Engagement with Courts Service (9 Jul 2025)

Réada Cronin: Does Ms Denning think the Courts Service is adequately resourced?

Committee on Infrastructure and National Development Plan Delivery: Judicial Review and Appeals Process: Engagement with Courts Service (9 Jul 2025)

Réada Cronin: Part 9 of the 2024 Act changed the rules on judicial reviews.. It removed the requirement to apply for leave before you would make an application. The requirement for leave screened out a lot of nonsensical kinds of things. Is that a worry for the Courts Service with its resources?

Committee on Infrastructure and National Development Plan Delivery: Judicial Review and Appeals Process: Engagement with Courts Service (9 Jul 2025)

Committee on Infrastructure and National Development Plan Delivery: Judicial Review and Appeals Process: Engagement with Courts Service (9 Jul 2025)

Réada Cronin: We touched on the Heather Hill case earlier. There was a quote from Supreme Court Justice Brian Murray. He warned the Government about changing litigation. It took a decade to catch up with litigation to sort things out after the previous planning Act. The changes to multiple other factors will be a multiple of that. We hear from the Government that there are lessons learned, but are we...

Committee on Infrastructure and National Development Plan Delivery: Judicial Review and Appeals Process: Engagement with Courts Service (9 Jul 2025)
