Select Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Employment Permits (Amendment) Bill 2014: Committee Stage (26 Jun 2014)

Peadar Tóibín: I should like to speak to amendment No. 49, if possible. The Minister of State will be aware if an employee - any employee - has a contract and an ability to work only with one employer. The nature of that relationship will be quite different than if a worker has the ability to work with a number of different employers. It leaves the door wide open for exploitation. If we had a choice, we...

Seanad: Order of Business (8 Oct 2013)

David Norris: I want people in the House like the Leader of this House, like Senator Whelan and Senator Gilroy, who have known what it is like to be unemployed. Should people really be expected to come off the unemployment register and to work for nothing? If so, people are living in cloud cuckoo land and I do not give a damn if it is unpopular, I am saying it and I will not stop saying it. I sometimes...

Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade: The Work of Dóchas: Discussion (17 Jun 2025)

Mr. Jim Clarken: I thank Deputy Brennan for the work he has done. It has had a huge impact on the lives of many children which would not have happened without him, no doubt. Beyond Gaza, organisations like Oxfam work in conflict zones all over the world. We work in 30 different conflict zones today that many people are not even aware of. It is not that we or anyone in our sector are...

Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Covid-19: Strategic Options for Government Plan to Eliminate Community Transmission (23 Sep 2020)

Dr. Samuel McConkey: The uptake at present is approximately 1.7 or 1.9 million, which is only about 34% of the population. The modelling suggests that we need about 60% or more to get a really good impact. It does not work on old iPhones like the iPhone 5 and it does not work on older android devices. It only works on more modern phones. There are older people, like my mother, who still...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: Implementation of the Recommendations of the Report of the Commission on the Defence Forces: Discussion (26 Sep 2023)

Réada Cronin: I have a final question on work-life balance. When people are starting off in the Army, if they look in any way presentable, they are often expected to work weekends in the officers’ mess. How does that equate with improving the work-life balance? We can get away with things like that when unemployment is high but not in the current employment circumstances. I would like to have...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Citizens Assembly Report on Biodiversity Loss: Discussion (Resumed) (24 Oct 2023)

Brian Leddin: I will go to members shortly and remind them that we have agreed there will be five minutes for questions and answers. I have two questions for the witnesses. I would like to use my time to allow Dr. O'Hagan-Luff to elaborate on her suggestion that there should be a market for credits for ecosystem services. The challenge we have is figuring out how we tweak the system that we currently...

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Stability Programme Update: Economic and Social Research Institute (9 Mar 2021)

Neasa Hourigan: I thank Deputy Canney. I had intended to ask a different question first, but as we discussing labour costs and the medium term, I will follow up on the issue raised by Deputy Canney. The ESRI recently published some work on the minimum wage which related to the 2016 change. It showed that in 3% of firms it led to higher costs, but in around 90% of firms it did not. The programme for...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Issues Relating to General Practice: Discussion (26 Jan 2022)

Dr. Diarmuid Quinlan: We already have some of that. GPs are working across many hospital departments, certainly in my area. My concern at a strategic level is that I would not like to see that as a one-way flow of GPs going into the hospital and obviously coming back to general practice with very valuable skills. I would also like to see the potential for young hospital doctors to come...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Youth Issues: Discussion (13 Dec 2012) See 1 other result from this debate

Mr. Martin McMullan: I would like to pick up on a point made by Ms Gildernew. I compliment previous speakers on what they have said. I am delighted Ms Gildernew mentioned the LGBT work that is being done. As part of the current policy in Northern Ireland with regard to education and youth work priorities, it has been suggested that youth work should be confined to those aged 21 and under....

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Current Financial Situation at Bus Éireann, the Expressway Service and the Rural Transport Programme (Resumed) (1 Feb 2017)

Catherine Murphy: I might come back to that separately. I want to ask some further questions. One relates to treating like with like. For example, there is anecdotal evidence about the number of sick days taken and it was, let us say, a very unfavourable figure. A number of bus drivers have told me they have been passed fit to go back to work by their doctors or hospital but when they present for work,...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: Regulation of the English Language Sector: Discussion (14 May 2024)

Ms Itzel Monserrat Martinez Murillo: I do not have the experience like Mr. Ó Luain said, but I have heard about many experiences from students through my channel. They talk about things like how they have to work many hours, but the Government just permits them to work 20 hours. They start working in other places to try to get the money but in those places, they are exploited. Many...

Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Congregated Settings: Meat Plants (10 Jul 2020)

Michael McNamara: Let us take a person working for one meat factory who perhaps does not like his or her job or the employer does not like the him or her. If a worker who is a third-country national here on a work permit is let go or leaves a job, how is it then possible for him or her to go on to work for another company, in the same area or another area?

Leaders' Questions (12 Nov 2015)

Joan Burton: In addition, community employment is one of the avenues that can be used to give opportunities to younger people. We have opened up to Tús to self-referral. Some 20% of Tús placements can now be made by people applying and putting themselves forward. Like the community employment scheme, Tús has proven to be very popular throughout the country. As we have been saying about...

Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Estimates for Public Services 2022
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (Revised) (2 Feb 2022)

Patrick O'Donovan: I thank the Vice Chairman for his question. Every building is different and we have a mixture that are in our custody. Over the last two years, the same as every element of construction, work has progressed on a stop-go basis due to Covid and we had to meet social distancing requirements but luckily now that has all stopped. Yes, is the short answer. We have our own limitations. We would...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (24 May 2023)

Leo Varadkar: We also need to work at the reimbursement model. Would it be a case of somebody just sending the bill to the Government? I do not think that would work. We would need some sort of prior approval system like we have for things like the cross-Border directive.

Standing Orders: Motion (17 Oct 2013)

Stephen Donnelly: Parliaments do not work like this in other countries. This centralised control is unique to Ireland. It does not have to be like this. The only way it will ever work is not by changing the time we begin or a few bits and pieces, but by the Cabinet of the day - this Cabinet or the next one - relinquishing control and letting this House breathe and do its work. Hopefully we might see some...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Engagement with Chairperson of Enterprise Ireland (25 Oct 2023)

Mr. Michael Carey: We have 850 staff, I believe, in the organisation. Like every organisation both in the public and private sectors, the challenge is attracting and retaining the best possible people. I understand that we are just short of 100 vacancies in the organisation currently. Like every organisation and business, it works on being the most attractive place to work. We want...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Covid-19 Pandemic Supports (31 Mar 2021)

Peter Fitzpatrick: I thank the Minister for his reply. I have been in contact with many people, including couples, working from home and the common theme is that while working from home, they require more supports and they are not happy with the supports they are getting. These people have needed to adapt certain spaces from which to work. Many people forced to work from home do not have access to reliable...
