Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (20 Nov 2018)

Micheál Martin: Today, on International Children's Day, I am sure the Taoiseach will agree that it represents a sad indictment of Government policy that up to 4,000 children in Ireland are homeless. It is interesting that back in 2011, that figure was at 184. These children feel isolated and anxious and they crave the security of their own home. Those in hotels cannot even have their food cooked for them...

Micheál Martin: Being homeless is not a shortcoming. It is a devastating experience for a child, not a shortcoming.

Ceisteanna - Questions: Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (20 Nov 2018)

Micheál Martin: In the last two years, NESC has allocated a lot of its time to trying to prompt a more substantive series of actions on two of the most pressing and critical issues for this country, namely, the housing and climate emergencies. However, it is not clear if its work is having any impact at political level in government. The council has presented its work, and that of conference speakers, on...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Programme for Government Implementation (20 Nov 2018)

Micheál Martin: I wish to pick up on another strand of the work of the National Economic and Social Council, NESC, in respect of the programme for Government. The fight against climate change was relegated by the previous Government and there has been little more than lip service since. When Commissioner Phil Hogan was a Minister, he led the charge when Fine Gael came out of the 2011 election and climate...
