Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Foilsitheoireacht agus Léitheoireacht na Gaeilge: Plé (Atógáil) (22 Jun 2022)

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: Rud a ritheann liom maidir leis na closleabhair ná go gceannaíonn na seirbhísí leabharlainne iad. Dá mbeadh a fhios ag na foilsitheoirí go mbeadh duine ann a cheannódh na closleabhair - mar shampla, na leabharlannaithe - b'fhéidir go mbeidís níos toilteanaí agus go gcabhródh sé le ceist an mhaoinithe. Ní dóigh liom...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: Ireland Prison Education Strategy 2019-2022: Discussion (5 Jul 2022)

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: I thank the witnesses for coming before the committee. They are doing very important work. The opening statements underline the fact that so much to do with criminal justice and the prison system is tied into poverty and disadvantage. In many respects not that much has changed since statistics were produced in 1997, which are now 25 years old. Perhaps some things have changed but not that...

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: I raised the spent convictions legislation. I imagine it needs to be overhauled. Do recommendations relating to it fall in the witnesses' remit? Do they have a view on it?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: Ireland Prison Education Strategy 2019-2022: Discussion (5 Jul 2022)

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: I thank the witnesses for appearing before us to share their expertise and experience.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: Ireland Prison Education Strategy 2019-2022: Discussion (5 Jul 2022)

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: It occurs to me that prison is a very structured environment. There may potentially be a case of a prisoner who might have for the first time taken on education in a determined way. They may get some qualifications but then they exit the prison system. Do challenges exist for when they reintegrate into mainstream society outside the prison in terms of continuing with or keeping a handle on...

Measures to Assist with Household Bills: Motion [Private Members] (14 Sep 2022)

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: Households are facing the worst cost-of-living crisis in a generation. Ordinary workers and families and indeed small businesses cannot take any more and they certainly cannot face into a winter with bills that continue to skyrocket and could cripple them. Households need long-term solutions to this cost-of-living crisis, not one-off measures which will do nothing to fix the root cause of...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Issues Impacting the Taxi Industry: Discussion (14 Sep 2022)

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: I was able to tune in for parts of the hearing but not all. I am not a member of this committee but I was keen to come in. I am a Cork Deputy and my knowledge of the situation relates primarily to the Cork taxi committee but many of the issues that have come up today are one and the same. The point about taxis being public service vehicles is key, as is the fact that they are not...
