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

Catherine Connolly: I thank Sinn Féin for tabling the motion. It is not the way to do policy to force us to bring a motion that, on this occasion, is tabled by Sinn Féin. There are then amendments, some of which I understand. I could not agree with some of them because they are not enforceable. We are left like this, dealing with policy in this manner, which is totally unacceptable. If the...

Pre-European Council Meeting: Statements (22 Mar 2023)

Catherine Connolly: Before I came into the Chamber, I listened again for the third time to a promotional video by the Government. It is relevant to the discussion.

It tells us that 100 years ago, we took our place among the...

Health (Amendment) Bill 2023: Second Stage (22 Mar 2023)

Catherine Connolly: Cuirim fáilte roimh an mBille seo. Is dócha gurb é an Bille is giorra a tháinig os mo chomhair agus os comhair na Dála i m’amsa ar aon nós. Níl i gceist ach leathanach amháin.

Health (Amendment) Bill 2023: Second Stage (22 Mar 2023)

Catherine Connolly: Maybe the Minister could clarify the position. What is the difference?
