Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (17 Apr 2019)

Maureen O'Sullivan: I wish to raise the implications of the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government's decision to increase building heights in Dublin. This decision was made without any regard to the setting, the impact on land values or any sense of home or quality of life. What it has done is open a space for developers whose Celtic tiger excesses and irresponsibility had drastic consequences in...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (17 Apr 2019)

Maureen O'Sullivan: I think there is a space for high rise but Dublin is not New York or Chicago. Dublin has a particular historic and cultural aspect to it. Let us not be hypocritical about this. Height increases have nothing to do with housing. Regardless of whether or not they are appropriate for family living, they have nothing to do with housing. It is time we move away from terms like "social and...

Ireland's Position on the Future of Europe: Statements (18 Apr 2019)

Maureen O'Sullivan: Is there a future for Europe? That is my first question. I do not believe there is unless Europe goes back to the founding principles of the rule of law and respect for fundamental rights and freedoms and respect for human dignity and equality on which it was launched. Brexit and all the talk about it has allowed a space for it to develop and for the EU to take its eye off the ball in...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: Humanitarian Situation in Yemen: Oxfam (18 Apr 2019)

Maureen O'Sullivan: I welcome Mr. Clarken, even though his presentation was grim. I apologise that I will have to leave the meeting early to speak in the Chamber. I was struck that the sale of UK arms licences to Saudi Arabia has exceeded €4.6 billion, yet UK aid has reached 0.7%. It is a total contradiction and incoherence. There are arm sales from the EU even though it is a major donor of aid. The...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Youth Services (8 May 2019)

Maureen O'Sullivan: This question was originally addressed to the Department of Children and Youth Affairs and I was quite surprised when it was sent over to the Department of Education and Skills. When an organisation falls between a number of Departments, it is not a great scenario in terms of assessing the work of that organisation. I wish to talk about the value of youth services and youth work in the...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Youth Services (8 May 2019)

Maureen O'Sullivan: While I appreciate what the Minister has just said, the challenges facing young people today are far greater than when certain organisations were set up in the 1940s. For that reason, there is a need to constantly evaluate how those challenges are being addressed by the people who are being paid to do that work. I am interested in the job titles of some of the 31 staff because I am hearing...

We also then spoke...
