Seanad: Local Government (Mayor of Limerick) and Miscellaneous Provisions Bill 2023: Report and Final Stages (21 Feb 2024)

Rebecca Moynihan: I welcome the passing of the Bill in this House. It will be looked back at in time as a measure that was in itself a small step but which included foundation-shaking implications for the rest of the country. What happens in Limerick will provide a template for all the other cities around the country. More fundamentally, it is about reforming local democracy. As Senator Fitzpatrick said,...

Seanad: Community Safety and Investment: Motion [Private Members] (28 Feb 2024)

Rebecca Moynihan: I move: That Seanad Éireann: acknowledges that: - An Garda Síochána play a vital role in ensuring our communities are safe, law and order is upheld, and community well-being is maintained; - there is a crisis of morale within An Garda Síochána resulting in a significant number of Gardaí leaving the service; - there are real and growing concerns about safety...

Rebecca Moynihan: Sorry, we will do six, five and five.

Seanad: Community Safety and Investment: Motion [Private Members] (28 Feb 2024)

Rebecca Moynihan: I welcome the students from west Cork and Zoe from the National Traveller Women's forum who is here with Senator Flynn. Across all communities and demographics, people are expressing a growing feeling of unsafety. People in working class communities feel unsafe in their neighbourhoods, the LGBTQ community reports increased levels of hate and related threats and violence and ethnic...

Seanad: Community Safety and Investment: Motion [Private Members] (28 Feb 2024)

Rebecca Moynihan: I thank Members for their engagement on the motion and their support of it. Most of them particularly recognised the focus on community policing in it, which the Minister referenced in her speech. Unfortunately, as regards how she referred to it, I do not think she got what community policing is. She talked about how, in policing, all police will be community police. While that may seem...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Defective Blocks Scheme: Discussion (27 Feb 2024)

Rebecca Moynihan: I am happy to cede my time to anybody from the relevant constituencies and areas if they want to come in. I see Deputy Mac Lochlainn for example. I happy to give some of my time to them if that will help keep to 90 minutes.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Defective Blocks Scheme: Discussion (27 Feb 2024)

Rebecca Moynihan: What I intended was to give over my time to some people who probably needed more time. I think Senator Fitzpatrick explained that the idea behind this meeting was that it was going to be the initial meeting with affected homeowners and residents, and then we were going to do a follow-up with the State agencies that are responsible. With that in mind, the questions I have crafted are quite...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Defective Blocks Scheme: Discussion (27 Feb 2024)

Rebecca Moynihan: That is a really good explanation, and that is exactly what I was wondering. I wanted that explored a little bit more for us to be able to put it to them.

Seanad: Private Rental Sector: Motion (6 Mar 2024)

Rebecca Moynihan: I thank the Sinn Féin Senators for tabling the motion because renters are often overlooked in the debate on housing. They have come to the forefront now because they are paying sky-high rent while knowing every day that they are living in insecurity. Landlords can evict them if they sell up. Renters must wonder whether that eviction will then make them part of the 13,531 people who...

Seanad: International Women's Day: Statements (6 Mar 2024)

Rebecca Moynihan: I am sharing my time with Senator Flynn. I thank the Minister. I am delighted to see him and I welcome him to the Chamber. The statements on International Women's Day make me a little uncomfortable because, in the past few years, they have been very bound up in girlboss feminism or spend-money feminism. Listening to Senator Keogan, I was actually reminded of why the statements are so...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Update on Homelessness: Discussion (5 Mar 2024)

Rebecca Moynihan: I thank the Chair. I am not sure I will have enough questions for the length of time everyone will be gone for. I would like to thank the witnesses for coming in and making the presentations and for the work that you do, particularly the Dublin Region Homeless Executive. My office is practically in weekly contact with the Dublin Region Homeless Executive and it can be very good and very...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Update on Homelessness: Discussion (5 Mar 2024)

Rebecca Moynihan: Absolutely. We ended up getting him sorted with longer-term accommodation but he was refused by the hostel person on that particular night. Those things can sometimes happen when people are using private hostels. How many of the Dublin Region Homeless Executive hostels are run by private companies or have private security involved in them?
