Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (7 Mar 2024)

Holly Cairns: Powerful countries in the West, all of which claim to value human rights and international law, have been revealed by the war in Gaza as immoral hypocrites. They only value international law when their enemies and not their allies are in breach. Their shameful record in Gaza amounts to the normalisation of mass murder and devastation. They wag their fingers at the Israeli Government...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (7 Mar 2024)

Holly Cairns: One, the Tánaiste has not answered a single one of my questions. Two, it is just more words that do not even suggest that they will be followed by any kind of actions. It is important to look back to 1984 when Dunnes Stores workers refused to stock the shelves with products from apartheid South Africa. Never let it be said that a small country cannot have an impact. Big or small, it...

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (7 Mar 2024)

Holly Cairns: House prices and rents are at record highs. Nothing the Government does seems to have an impact on affordability. In fact, all of its policies seem to be designed to do one thing, namely, drive prices even higher. The figures say it all. Since the Government took office, house prices have increased by 25%. That is an increase of nearly €70,000 since 2020. Rents for new tenancies...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (20 Mar 2024)

Holly Cairns: On a personal level, I wish the Taoiseach well. Politics can be tough and it takes its toll. We can all understand that. However, a new Fine Gael leader will not address the fact that the writing is on the wall for this Government. Clearly, the Taoiseach can see that as well as the rest of us. Throughout 14 years in office, Fine Gael has failed to tackle the major issues facing this...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (20 Mar 2024)

Holly Cairns: One of the biggest problems for this Government is just not being able to acknowledge the issues people are facing. To refer to addressing them as fairy tales is farcical. It is not a fairy tale-----

Holly Cairns: -----to have access to disability services. It is not a fairy tale to be able to own a home in this country. None of these things should be considered fairy tales. The problem is that on this journey the Taoiseach was speaking about, of going from deficit to surplus, people have been left behind. When we have that surplus the Government is not using it to address those issues. It is not...

Death of Charlie Bird: Expressions of Sympathy (20 Mar 2024)

Holly Cairns: I join other Deputies on behalf of the Social Democrats in remembering Charlie Bird. He was a true journalist. Even in what was perhaps the most difficult time for him, he still raised awareness and informed the public on the important issue of MND. Our thoughts are with his family, friends and former colleagues.

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (20 Mar 2024)

Holly Cairns: In advance of the meeting of the European Council and in light of the fact that innocent civilians are being killed not just by bombs indiscriminately dropping on people in Gaza, but also by an impending famine, we need statements scheduled to discuss what will be the Taoiseach's approach at the European Council meeting and what Ireland can do independent of Europe, as an independent State,...

Accommodation for International Protection Applicants: Motion [Private Members] (21 Mar 2024)

Holly Cairns: I thank my colleague, Deputy Whitmore, for her work on the motion and this issue. The desperate situation on Mount Street has been a growing humanitarian crisis for months, with hundreds of men and boys sleeping in the cold in completely unsanitary conditions, which has led to the spread of disease in recent weeks. Local activist groups and volunteers have been working tirelessly to help...
