- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (19 Oct 2022)
Rebecca Moynihan: I thought it was to be Senator Gavan first. Will the Cathaoirleach clarify this? There have been two Fianna Fáil contributors on the Order of Business but, no offence to Fianna Fáil, I thought representatives of all the groups are invited to speak first before other Senators who wish to contribute are invited to do so.
- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (19 Oct 2022)
Rebecca Moynihan: I welcome the move by the Government to bring in an eviction ban over the winter. This happens every year in France because it is considered cruel to allow people to be left on the side of the road due to evictions over the winter months. It is standard practice there every year. We need to use the time between now and March to bring back properties into the social housing sector. We have...
- Seanad: Poverty and Social Exclusion: Motion (19 Oct 2022)
Rebecca Moynihan: I apologise for being late and not hearing my Civil Engagement colleagues give their opening speeches on this topic. I have come from a housing committee meeting where we are waiving pre-legislative scrutiny for the introduction of an eviction ban this year over the winter period. One of the issues we were all concerned about and were raising, was the tenant in situscheme and how to ensure...
- Seanad: Residential Tenancies (Deferment of Termination Dates of Certain Tenancies) Bill 2022: Second Stage (27 Oct 2022)
Rebecca Moynihan: I thank the Minister of State for addressing the House on this issue. I welcome the move by the Government to put in place this emergency provision and recognising the big impact that homelessness over the winter period has on people. I wish to take issue with a couple of points. First, the Minister of State has said that there are "constitutionally protected property rights" in terms of...

- Seanad: Residential Tenancies (Deferment of Termination Dates of Certain Tenancies) Bill 2022: Committee and Remaining Stages (27 Oct 2022)
Rebecca Moynihan: Thank you, a Leas-Chathaoirligh. I fully take on board Senator Fitzpatrick's remarks about people who are deliberately not complying. That is fair enough. The point Senator Flynn is trying to make is that from her experience in the community she is in, this is then often used as an excuse by some landlords.It is only right that the Senator is allowed to express that. I know the...

- Seanad: Development (Emergency Electricity Generation) Bill 2022: Second Stage (27 Oct 2022)
Rebecca Moynihan: I thank the Minister of State for coming to the Chamber for this debate. This Bill follows on from the EirGrid legislation last summer. It is the second Bill on energy that indicates we are failing to take long-term energy policy seriously. Instead, we are legislating as we go in response to events. On Tuesday night, "Prime Time" had a report on the Derrybrien wind farm, which is not...
