- An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (27 May 2025)
Cathy Bennett: In 2009, then Sinn Féin TD for Cavan-Monaghan Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin described Fianna Fáil's closure of the accident and emergency department at Monaghan Hospital as a "mortal" blow for the people of Monaghan. He warned that lives "will undoubtedly be put at risk" as they then had to travel for up to an hour to Cavan hospital. The average wait time at Cavan hospital's...
- Apology to Shane O'Farrell and his Family: Statements (27 May 2025)
Cathy Bennett: The death of any person on our roads is a tragedy. The death of a child is a tragic hardship that no parent should have to bear. Shane O'Farrell was just 23 years old when he was struck and killed while out cycling near his home in Carrickmacross. The driver fled and while the man who took Shane's life handed himself into An Garda the next day, it seems as if in the intervening 14 years...
- Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade: Business of Joint Committee (27 May 2025)
Cathy Bennett: By way of introduction, I was a councillor in Monaghan for the past 12 years and I was recently elected to the Dáil. Sinn Féin has appointed me as spokesperson on tourism and the diaspora, so I am delighted to be on this committee to see how we can work. I thank the Minister of State for coming in today and giving us his briefing. I am sorry I missed it. I had to run out for a...
- Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade: Business of Joint Committee (27 May 2025)
Cathy Bennett: Okay. I am just trying to get a handle on things to see where aid goes. Can we get the budget sheets on them to see what the money is spent on? Perhaps we could get that at some stage so we see where money is going. It is welcome that it goes to Gaza, Ukraine and Sudan. I would just like to see how it is spent, especially with the aid trucks not able to get into Gaza at the moment. Where...
- Protection of Employees (Employers’ Insolvency) (Amendment) Bill 2025: Second Stage (28 May 2025)
Cathy Bennett: This Bill will better protect employees’ unpaid wages and entitlements if their employer becomes insolvent. I would commend the Government on introducing it but let us be real. It is a matter of obligation more than choice. The Government did not push to protect worker entitlements when they were denied on foot of the Vita Cortex insolvency in 2011, nor did the Government spring...

Chapter 10 - Measuring the Performance of Arts and Sports Spending (29 May 2025) Cathy Bennett: I welcome the witnesses. I acknowledge that I previously worked in an arts venue. It was a local theatre in Monaghan. I am very familiar with the arts package the Arts Council is trying to get rid of. I agree it is a very difficult system to use and it needs to be upgraded. The systems are outdated and it is disappointing for the sector that the project was not a success. It is...
