Select Committee on Social Protection: Estimates for Public Services 2018
Vote 37 - Employment Affairs and Social Protection (Revised) (27 Mar 2018)

Joan Collins: How many people were actually paid the fuel allowance? What did it cost? People on the household benefit package were impacted just as much as others. I am aware that the fuel allowance is means tested and is specifically for people who need it. However, under the household benefit package many people are having gas or electricity paid for. Those people did not get paid that extra...

Select Committee on Social Protection: Estimates for Public Services 2018
Vote 37 - Employment Affairs and Social Protection (Revised) (27 Mar 2018)

Joan Collins: Yes refundables, in a way to try to protect those who are in poverty. That people who are working are in poverty in this day and age is a serious issue. The report is called Poverty Focus 2018, if the Minister wants to check it out. I refer to the pension legislation brought in this year. This Government and previous Governments have been very creative in creating situations where...

Affordable Housing: Statements (Resumed) (29 Mar 2018)

Joan Collins: I am a little underwhelmed by Deputy Bailey's speech, but she is right: she has her opinion, and everyone else has theirs. It does feel like Groundhog Day: we come in here nearly every week to discuss the issue of housing. However, it is a very important day for us to be here because two reports have been published in the past 24 hours. The first was compiled by ALONE and makes the point...

Provision of Objective Sex Education Bill 2018: Second Stage [Private Members] (18 Apr 2018)

Joan Collins: I wish to make a few points in the short time available. This Bill, which I fully support, was introduced by Solidarity Deputies. It was submitted for debate during the recent very controversial rape trial in Belfast. It has a bearing on the debate that has surrounded the trial, in particular in the attitude displayed in text messages between the young men involved. Apart from the...

Nurses' and Midwives' Pay and Recruitment: Motion [Private Members] (25 Apr 2018)

Joan Collins: I welcome and will support this Private Member's Bill on nursing recruitment and retention put forward by Deputy O'Reilly of Sinn Féin.

That is what previous governments have done. The problem of retaining qualified...

Public Private Partnership on Capital Infrastructure: Statements (26 Apr 2018)

Joan Collins: I am sharing five minutes of my time with Deputy Broughan. I also am opposed to PPPs. From what I have seen of them, they are a capital grab on State ownership and resources and are used to create huge profits for their CEOs. Many of them do not deliver to the standard to which they should deliver and they are normally for short-term gain. Many examples have been given already, such as...

The response of the health service to the hepatitis C scandal, the deaths of babies in Portlaoise hospital, the cases of national maternal deaths and catastrophic...
