- Committee on Key Issues affecting the Traveller Community: Funding Strategy for Traveller-Specific Accommodation: Discussion (19 Jun 2025)
Maurice Quinlivan: I wish to follow on from the comments made at the previous committee, which our guests probably did not hear, but it was about the number of Travellers in homeless accommodation and we did not get a real answer. I thank the CCMA for the figures and for advising us to interpret them with caution, which we accept. In fairness, the figures are more reflective of what was said at a previous...

- Committee on Key Issues affecting the Traveller Community: Funding Strategy for Traveller-Specific Accommodation: Discussion (19 Jun 2025)

Is that the sense for people here? I mean that they have never had their application refused. Are applications sent back to local authorities for clarification? Do the witnesses have an estimate of any projects that have been delayed...

- Ábhair Shaincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Matters: An Garda Síochána (24 Jun 2025)
Maurice Quinlivan: No disrespect to the Minister of State but I am really disappointed that nobody from the Department of justice is present. This is a really important issue as my colleague has outlined. I will preface my comments by saying the Government really needs to intervene here. It needs to commit to a fully resourced Garda operation targeting drug dealing and feuding in order that hardworking...
- Ábhair Shaincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Matters: An Garda Síochána (24 Jun 2025)
Maurice Quinlivan: I was really disappointed with the Minister of State's response. There was nothing new that we did not know about before we came in here tonight. It pains me when I talk about these issues in the city of Limerick that I love but it pains me more to see ordinary working families being abandoned by the State. In 2008, Limerick had 92 community gardaí; we now have 30. In 2008, John...
