Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Energy - Ambition and Challenge: Discussion (Resumed) (22 Mar 2022)

Réada Cronin: I thank our guests for their presentation.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Energy - Ambition and Challenge: Discussion (Resumed) (22 Mar 2022)

Réada Cronin: I have been listening intently to the discussion. I thank the witnesses for their presentations. I have heard a lot of talk about auctions, price points, markets and opportunities but did not hear references to the centrality of the fact that energy provision is an essential public service and, therefore, I am a little concerned.

Government Response to Situation in Ukraine: Statements (30 Mar 2022)

Réada Cronin: It is funny to think that, up to a month ago, we were not talking much about Ukraine. In fact, most people, including me, thought it was called "the Ukraine". Now, we are checking the news throughout the day and opening our hearts and homes to the women and children seeking refuge. I hope they will be very happy and safe here, that the family members they have left behind to defend their...

Women's Health Action Plan: Statements (31 Mar 2022)

Réada Cronin: Sinn Féin welcomes this plan, which recognises women's health in its own right at long last. All too often, women do not feel listened to when it comes to our health and our real concerns can be minimalised or dismissed. We have all heard of the anxiety that turns out to be heart disease or the normal period pain that ends up being endometriosis. We suffer from a gender gap in medical...

National Maternity Hospital: Statements (31 Mar 2022)

Réada Cronin: It is hard to believe we are in this State in 2022 and when we talk about the State I often think “state” is a good word for us because we are in a bit of a state.

Réada Cronin: Book me in for that. I wish to follow up on the two preceding questions. Under Article 41.2, a woman's place is in the home.
