To ask the Minister for Education and Skills if he will meet with representatives of the parent body whose children urgently require a place to start school in Swords in September, where a school (details supplied) has been refused an extra class, even though many of these children have siblings in that school, and the alternative schools start at the same time, are a considerable...

Other Questions: State Properties (4 Jun 2014)

Clare Daly: 6. To ask the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform the initiatives the Office of Public Works has undertaken to make empty State property and facilities available to local authorities to assist in dealing with the housing crisis. [23650/14]

Other Questions: State Properties (4 Jun 2014)

Clare Daly: It is an incredible contradiction that the State, which expends hundreds of millions of euro on subsidising private and emergency accommodation, continues to be one of the largest landlords. The Office of Public Works has properties in every town and village and has one of the largest property portfolios in the State. What initiatives has the OPW taken to make State properties available to...

Other Questions: State Properties (4 Jun 2014)

Clare Daly: Given the scale of the current housing crisis, the Minister's reply failed to provide sufficient detail. I note that one property has been available for homeless accommodation. I put it to the Minister that many more properties must be provided. It is ironic that the State is paying tens of millions of euro to subsidise private hoteliers who are providing short-term accommodation to meet...

Other Questions: State Properties (4 Jun 2014)

Clare Daly: The point here is that the State has to lead in this regard and subsidising the private sector is not the way forward. I would be interested in the detail that the Minister stated he would furnish in terms of the State's portfolio. I repeat that it is fine if it is the remit of the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government, but somebody has to take stock of all of the...

Leaders' Questions (4 Jun 2014)

Clare Daly: I hope the Minister has had the opportunity since last week to familiarise himself a little more with some of the issues behind the Aer Lingus cabin crew dispute. I am hoping that the Minister may have had a chance to send someone along to the picket lines at Shannon to talk to the workers there and to understand why, for the first time in many years, over 1,000 workers believed they had no...

Leaders' Questions (4 Jun 2014)

Clare Daly: -----who made his mark cheerleading a race to the bottom. Does the Minister wish his Government to be synonymous with this type of employment, the type of employment in Ryanair where nobody is directly employed, people are hired and fired at will, with no promotions, no pensions and no progression because nobody stays long enough? The Minister and the staff are the biggest shareholders in...

Leaders' Questions (4 Jun 2014)

Clare Daly: I note the Minister did not take the opportunity of the intervening week to read up on the issues at stake. Ryanair has the biggest shareholding in Aer Lingus. If the Minister had read any of the newspapers at the weekend he would have seen that Michael O'Leary spent his weekend goading and cajoling Aer Lingus management to take precisely the action they took.

Leaders' Questions (4 Jun 2014)

Clare Daly: I am responding to the point the Minister made.

Leaders' Questions (4 Jun 2014)

Clare Daly: The Government is a large shareholder in Aer Lingus. The combined shares held by Aer Lingus staff and the Government account for a majority shareholding in the company. As such, the Government is not an idle bystander in the current dispute. In stating that it would be useful for the parties involved to use the industrial relations machinery of the State, the Minister did not pass comment...

Leaders' Questions (4 Jun 2014)

Clare Daly: As the major shareholder in Aer Lingus, does the Government believe it is acceptable for people to be bullied and driven out of a career on the basis that they cannot have a family life, as is afforded to pilots and every other cabin crew member? Is it unreasonable for people to ask to work in a more family friendly way? If that is not an unreasonable request, what is the Minister doing...
