Gender-Based Violence: Motion [Private Members] (3 Jul 2024)

Joan Collins: I welcome the motion and thank the Labour Party for bringing it to the floor of the Dáil. It links in well with the statements on gender-based violence we will have this afternoon. It is clear that the State provides a level of services and supports that actively endangers women. Successive Governments have not funded domestic and gender-based violence services properly and they...

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (3 Jul 2024)

Joan Collins: On 18 April, I asked the Minister of State, Deputy Butler about the lack of public health nurses across the Dublin 8 and Dublin 12 areas, especially regarding childhood development checks. The reply given to me by the Minister of State was that it was not a funding issue or a moratorium issue, it is due to a lack of public health nurses for that area. She said she would bring my concern...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (9 Jul 2024)

Joan Collins: Last month, we saw the "RTÉ Investigates" programme on the horrific and illegal conditions at the Shannonside Foods Limited abattoir in Straffan, County Kildare. The plant has now shut down, which I welcome. Having looked through the record of the committee on agriculture meeting on the matter, I was left with serious concerns as to how this situation was allowed to arise. These...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Circular Economy as it relates to the Waste Sector: Discussion. (9 Jul 2024)

Joan Collins: This is a very healthy discussion, teasing out the issues here. The IPA report highlighted the issue of illegal dumping in particular. We do not have details on what it actually costs to collect that waste. That cost, or the cost across different cities, is not included in any of the reports we have. I reckon it is quite substantive. It is local authorities that collect that waste, not...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Circular Economy as it relates to the Waste Sector: Discussion. (9 Jul 2024)

Joan Collins: Should a campaign be run on this issue? To give a simple example, we held two public meetings in Ballyfermot and Crumlin. We went out with a sheet to ask people to sign a petition on the re-municipalisation of waste. There is huge support for that among communities in Ballyfermot and Crumlin based on the huge cost increases by private waste collection companies over the past number of years.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Circular Economy as it relates to the Waste Sector: Discussion. (9 Jul 2024)

Joan Collins: I was elected to Dublin City Council as a councillor in 2004, as part of the anti-bin charges campaign. At the time I remember that the polluter pays aspect was a strong argument made to bring in charges and change the waste collection services. To me, the polluter pays principle means that the polluter pays, and not when you recycle green bins, brown bins, or you bring your stuff to the...

Domestic, Sexual and Gender-Based Violence: Motion [Private Members] (10 Jul 2024)

Joan Collins: I welcome this motion and I commend the Social Democrats for bringing it forward. Adopting a zero-tolerance approach to domestic, sexual and gender-based violence is absolutely crucial in the context of what we have seen in recent times. Every week there seems to be another issue of violence against women or undermining of women in their sporting careers, their workplace, or when they are...

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (10 Jul 2024)

Joan Collins: I have raised this issue before but I want to raise it again before the recess. Workers in community and voluntary sector posts not in receipt of funding through HSE channels are not technically section 39 organisation workers. I refer to workers in organisations such as local drugs and alcohol task force groups. Such workers have been excluded from pay restoration and WRC processes. In...
