Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Historic and Archaeological Heritage Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (6 Jul 2023)

Cian O'Callaghan: I move amendment No. 153 In page 67, to delete lines 36 to 41 and substitute the following: “Relevant works which may affect environment in another Member State or Northern Ireland 38.(1) Where the Minister considers that the proposed relevant works that is the subject of an EIAR under this Chapter would be likely to have significant effects on the environment in another Member...

Written Answers — Department of Health: Covid-19 Pandemic (9 Sep 2021)

Stephen Donnelly: Work is ongoing in my Department on the development of a scheme to benefit the families of frontline healthcare workers who died from COVID-19, where it is likely that they contracted the virus in work. I intend to bring a proposal to Government in respect of the scheme shortly. Details of the scheme will be made available once it has been approved by Government. However, I can...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Implementation of Housing for All: Discussion (Resumed) (25 Oct 2022) See 1 other result from this debate

Mr. Robert Burns: It is at an early stage. We are just putting together the terms of reference. The purpose is essentially to reconcile the three key data sets around the census figures, the GeoDirectory and the local property tax, LPT, figures collected by Revenue. All three are different, so one may not be comparing like with like and there may be a need for a common basis for...

Tribunals of Inquiry Bill 2005: Second Stage (Resumed) (6 Nov 2008)

Thomas Byrne: We must respect the work of tribunals. We might have difficulties with them, but the Oireachtas sets them up. We must accept what they say, regardless of whether we like it. Sometimes we do not like what they say. Perhaps we will not like the conclusions of the Mahon or Flood tribunals, or perhaps the Opposition will not like them. However, we must accept what the judges say. Members on...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters: Personal Transport for People with Disabilities: Office of the Ombudsman (16 Dec 2021)

...of the matter is the disability capacity review undertaken by the Department of Health and the recent cost of disability exercise done by the Department of Social Protection will be utilised to develop proposals on the various schemes and that there will be a whole-of-government approach and a scheme developed to encompass all of this. I am unsure of the details of the scheme or what it...

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Report of the Commission on Taxation and Welfare: Discussion (Resumed) (8 Feb 2023)

Neasa Hourigan: I have some questions. I want to focus a little on working age payments, and what the report has to say on that. We have spoken in previous sessions about whether we are getting it right, or if there is sufficient communication between Departments around how they work together, and what it looks like on the ground for particular families. Would the witnesses like to make some overall...

Employment Equality (Abolition of Mandatory Retirement Age) Bill 2014: Second Stage [Private Members] (9 Oct 2015)

Peter Mathews: The Government must put the bit in its teeth and energise. How many Bills are there to be dealt with? Was it approximately 38? If the Government is serious, it can get many of those dealt with instead of saying it would like to have a surer term. Life does not work like that. Life is about what is in front of us. If one does what one can do today well, the rest will look after itself. ...

Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Community Employment Schemes (6 Jul 2021)

Emer Currie: I have no wish for us to be in a situation where we have to wait until we have full employment again before women returners become a major priority for the Government. Many women did the State a service by caring for their families and loved ones. Often they did so because the supports that would have enabled choice simply were not there. I know this because I did it myself. Workplace...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection: Rural Hubs, Broadband and Mobile Phone Coverage in Rural Ireland: Department of Rural and Community Development (2 Dec 2020)

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: I thank the witnesses for the presentation. In February, I had never heard of Zoom. There has been a complete change in milieu and our way of doing work as a result of Covid. As Deputy Kerrane said, hopefully it is one of the positives we will take out of the pandemic and we will be able to retain some of those gains as we move forward. In the first instance, I echo what Deputy Ó...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Child Poverty (6 Oct 2016)

Leo Varadkar: It will not be announced in the budget. We are working on it for budget 2018. The plan is to develop it, publish what it will look like in quarter one or quarter two of next year and cost it. It will cost if it is to be done in such a way that there are no losers as opposed to winners and losers. I intend to consult with the committee and the other parties on what the working family...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection: Lone Parents: Department of Social Protection (6 Oct 2016)

Ms Simonetta Ryan: Mr. Egan will continue, but I would like Ms Ward to have an opportunity to talk about the activation we are doing on the ground. I will give the reason for that. The Treoir report, Watch Them Grow, indicates the labour market readiness of one parent family recipients. That is a direct policy issue for us, and it is an operational issue. Some 30% of those lone parents...

Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Covid-19: Infection Rate among Healthcare Workers (Resumed) (21 Jul 2020)

Mr. Liam Woods: The work in the acute area is likely to take up to the end of 2021. In the community area, the work is commencing and it is likely to take longer than that. It is very substantive. It is very much unit by unit and ward by ward. Deputy Shortall referred to the rate of staff attrition. No workforce plan will provide for that. We continue to have a very high absence within...

Other Questions: Brexit Issues (9 Feb 2017)

Charlie McConalogue: With regard to the commentary we have seen so far on the Border issue, especially from Prime Minister May and domestically about not having a return to the borders of the past, it does not count for a lot. If one drills down, nobody is clear on what they are talking about. As I have outlined previously to the Minister, 7.5% of workers in Donegal actually work in Northern Ireland. 6...

Garda Siochana (Functions and Operational Areas) Bill 2021: Second Stage (22 Sep 2021)

Chris Andrews: I would like to acknowledge the huge importance of community gardaí. I would also like to acknowledge the work and professionalism of former Superintendent Joe Gannon, who has recently retired from his role in Pearse Street. I also acknowledge the huge good work that community Garda Derek Dempsey has done over 34 years of service in Ringsend, Irishtown and Sandymount. I wish them both...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: The Economics of Northern Ireland and the All-island Economy: Economic and Social Research Institute (11 May 2023)

Emer Currie: I will take seven and a half minutes before I pass over to my colleague. I hope this exchange can be conversational because I have many questions. This is a report about perspectives on constitutional change. It will come as no shock that I am in favour of constitutional change and am open-minded about how we do that and what it would look like. Dr. Barrett mentioned that the shared...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: General Scheme of the Criminal Justice (Sexual Offences and Human Trafficking) Bill 2022: Discussion (6 Dec 2022)

Ms Edel McGinley: Just a final comment if that is okay. We would like to see those areas addressed. I am delighted to hear the appeal mechanism, whatever that looks like, will be included now. We are worried that we are not hearing that the rights and entitlements will be included. That needs to be looked at. We need more clarity around how the system will actually work. We would...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Network of Regional and Local Museums: Discussion (12 Dec 2018)

Ms Judith McCarthy: I would like to echo what Mr. Bradley has been saying. Digitisation is very important for us, but it is a challenge. There is no doubt financial and human resourcing challenges arise in this context. Our museum, which has a collection of approximately 7,000 objects, has four staff who have very specific roles and responsibilities. Unfortunately, digitisation is not...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Disability Services (1 Dec 2022)

Ruairi Ó Murchú: That is all very welcome. We must also deal with issues relating to working conditions, among other factors that are outside the remit of the Minister, to increase retention and make it attractive to work in those spheres. We are dealing with the sphere of disability. My constituency colleague Deputy O'Dowd may not like what I am about to do, but I raise again the issue of personal...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Medical Council Specialist Register: Discussion (2 May 2018)

Dr. Anthony Breslin: When we are investigating a complaint we compare like with like. If someone is working in a small hospital, we look at what is expected for them working there versus someone working in a larger hospital. We do take that into consideration. Deputy O'Connell mentioned competence. We do have a competence scheme set up and 97% of doctors are registered and participating...

Seanad: Order of Business (8 Nov 2011)

Feargal Quinn: I would also like to welcome Senator Norris back to the House again. Many here are disappointed that he is back in the House; not because he is not welcome, but because we thought he might be in a different house on this occasion. I would like to add my words of welcome to the President elect, Michael D. Higgins. He will add great stature to that house. He is following in the footsteps of...
