Public Transport Experience: Motion [Private Members] (18 Jun 2025)

Conor McGuinness: Public transport is essential for rural communities. It connects young people to education and training, older people to services and workers to jobs. It keeps our rural towns and villages alive and links people to public services, which unfortunately have become ever more concentrated in urban areas at the expense of rural accessibility.

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht – Questions on Policy or Legislation (18 Jun 2025)

Conor McGuinness: The housing crisis is not just an urban crisis. It is also tearing out the very heart of rural Ireland. Young people are being priced out or locked out. They are being pushed into the larger towns or cities or, more often than not, they are being pushed abroad. GAA clubs and county boards are raising the alarm on this. Some are now appointing demographic officers to deal with rural youth...

Residential Tenancies (Amendment) Bill 2025: Second Stage (18 Jun 2025)

Conor McGuinness: The policy the Government is now pursuing when it comes to rent is a cynical attempt to drive rents even higher for tens of thousands of people already struggling to keep a roof over their heads. There is no denying that the Minister has chosen to side with corporate landlords, institutional investors and developers and to throw renters under the bus. I want to see RPZs - those modest...

Mental Health Bill 2024: Committee Stage (Resumed) (18 Jun 2025)

Conor McGuinness: I will speak on amendment No. 211 on child and youth mental health services. Sinn Féin's policy for a considerable amount of time has been to change CAMHS to a broader service and to increase the upper age limit to 25. This would be an important step if it were to be adopted. I note what the Minister of State said earlier about listening to the Opposition and working with us but I...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Child Poverty (19 Jun 2025)

Conor McGuinness: I share Deputy O'Reilly's concerns. Looking at the child poverty monitor, we see the failure of the 2020 roadmap for social inclusion, which included a target of reducing consistent poverty among adults and children from 5% to 2%. Five years later, we are still at 5%. The roadmap has been an abject failure. One of my concerns when it comes to child poverty and poverty within families...
