Imelda Munster: It might be no harm for that to be laid out in black and white on the website as a forewarning. The Minister says all organisations will have to sign up, but that does not necessarily prevent something happening-----

Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: A Safe and Respectful Working Environment in the Arts: Discussion (Resumed) (1 Jun 2022)

Imelda Munster: It just might be useful. As I was about to say, this cannot be pre-empted, but perhaps what the Minister says could be laid out clearly in black and white. Does the Minister know what the governing body will be?

Imelda Munster: I am sharing time with Deputies Daly, Cronin and Buckley. As the Minister for Health will be aware, this motion calls on the Government to retain and enhance emergency services in Navan hospital. We are also asking that the Government, once and for all, end overcrowding in emergency hospitals. Only major investment in our health service will finally change this situation. The way this...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Tourism Industry (21 Jun 2022)

Imelda Munster: Last week representatives of the Irish Hotels Federation appeared before the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport and Media. They said that there was a faster rebound in tourism than anyone had previously anticipated. They said there was a very strong recovery, exceeding all forecasts, which is very welcome so why the price gouging? Why the extortionate room rates...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Tourism Industry (21 Jun 2022)

Imelda Munster: People are comparing prices, whether it is European cities or coming to Ireland. They will see the vast difference and they will see that Ireland is no longer a value-for-money destination. In its submission to the committee last week the Irish Hotels Federation said - in black and white - that at weekends and on nights when there are major concerts or events "there are now more nights...

Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Departmental Priorities and Legislation: Discussion (1 Jun 2022)

Imelda Munster: Would the Minister publicly call out price gouging and state that the prices being offered at the moment are not fair and do not provide value for money? We cannot compare them with prices across Europe. Would she send the message out that should this type of thing continue, it will cause long-term reputational damage to this country and that she will reconsider the wisdom of extending the...

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht – Questions on Policy or Legislation (22 Jun 2022)

Imelda Munster: I raise the ongoing chaos at the Passport Service again because nothing has improved since the most recent time I raised the issue. It seems that documentation is still not being checked until the passport target date, which means that people who applied in plenty of time must go to the end of the queue when further information is requested. We are now in the peak summer season. We are now...

Public Accounts Committee: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Financial Statements 2020 (16 Jun 2022)
