Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (11 Oct 2022)

Mick Barry: I visited the PrepayPower website this morning. The website states: "If you do not keep your PPP PAYG [PrepayPower pay-as-you-go] Meter topped up with credit, it will self-disconnect and your electricity supply will cut off." On vulnerable customers, it states that: The CRU has put in place a rule whereby [registered] Vulnerable Customers cannot be disconnected for non-payment of [arrears]...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (11 Oct 2022)

Mick Barry: Those measures will get many pay-as-you-go customers through this winter, no doubt, but will they get all pay-as-you-go customers through the winter? I do not believe that is the case nor do I believe the Taoiseach believes it to be the case either. He said that the fee has been waived for pay-as-you-go customers who want to transfer to bill-pay if they are vulnerable. That is very good...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (11 Oct 2022)

Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (11 Oct 2022)

Mick Barry: I note that the plans for paid domestic violence leave are being strongly opposed by IBEC. IBEC has argued that employers should be allowed to ask for proof to stop any "potential abuse" of paid leave to victims of domestic violence. This position is disgraceful. Why is the Government supporting five days of leave instead of the ten days that was its previous position? The zero tolerance...

Electricity Costs (Domestic Electricity Accounts) Emergency Measures and Miscellaneous Provisions Bill 2022: Second Stage (11 Oct 2022)

Mick Barry: The three €200 energy credits will be refused by no one. However, many people see that they are of particular value to the for-profit energy companies that are increasing their prices while making massive profits and will end up with this money in their accounts boosting those profits. The Government argues that fixing prices at 2021 rates would be to write a blank cheque for the big...

Community and Voluntary Sector Workers: Motion [Private Members] (12 Oct 2022)

Mick Barry: The cost of living crisis is bearing down hard on working people. The pay increase in the public sector is less than the rate of inflation. It constitutes a de factopay cut. The increase in the national minimum wage due in January is also below the rate of inflation and also constitutes a de factopay cut. But the situation is worse again for the nation's community and voluntary workers in...

Employment Permits Bill 2022: Second Stage (Resumed) (12 Oct 2022)

That statement is incredible, as is the fact that a Government Deputy points towards the fishing industry as an example of anything in this country to do with jobs, recruitment, workers' rights...
