Positive changes have been made over the years, largely as a...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (4 May 2022)

Ivana Bacik: We are all very conscious of the legacy of our schools and hospitals that have been funded by the State but remain in the ownership of religious orders or their successor or proxy companies.

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (4 May 2022)

Ivana Bacik: I am conscious we have had an exchange on the national maternity hospital issue, but the key question is why we do not see it moving into public ownership if it is, indeed, to be in public ownership in all but name, given the 299-year lease. That question has not been satisfactorily answered. Might we amend the Order of Business to take some time to tease out that question and debate why we...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (4 May 2022)

Ivana Bacik: The homelessness figures published on Friday showed an increase of 23% in the past year. These are alarming figures. We know a major cause of homelessness is the lack of protection for renters against evictions and simply a lack of supply of sufficient homes for rental.

Ivana Bacik: I thank the Taoiseach for reporting on his engagements with the President of the US. I commend him on his strong words condemning the recent Russian video purporting to show a nuclear attack on Ireland. I am conscious, as we all are, that the war in Ukraine was a significant backdrop to the Taoiseach's visit to the US and was the subject of many of his engagements. I also note his...

Ivana Bacik: The Northern Ireland Assembly elections will take place on Thursday. I had the pleasure of canvassing on Saturday in Belfast South with Matthew O'Toole and Elsie Trainor of the SDLP, along with Claire Hanna, the MP there.

Ivana Bacik: I outlined yesterday the ongoing concerns the Labour Party has regarding the ownership, governance and control of the proposed new national maternity hospital. We welcomed the publication of certain relevant documents on the HSE website and the Government delaying the decision in this regard. Having listened to the exchanges this morning, however, it seems the Government is not proposing to...
