Réada Cronin: Will the Minister answer my first question about whether he will commit to a timeframe and work on his own proposals, potentially with the committee? I believe the committee would work with him on Article 41.2 of the Constitution, on women in the home.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Gender Equality: Recommendations of Citizens' Assembly on Gender Equality: Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth (24 Mar 2022)

Réada Cronin: I wish to raise the matter of refuges for victims of domestic violence. I know the Minister's Department does not have a capital budget to provide these refuge centres. However, when we talk to the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage, Deputy Darragh O'Brien, he confirms that the responsibility to provide them lies with Tusla, which is under the Minister's Department. We...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Gender Equality: Recommendations of Citizens' Assembly on Gender Equality: Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth (24 Mar 2022)

Réada Cronin: Good. What is the timeframe for the delivery? In the last four months of 2020, Safe Ireland had to refuse over 800 requests for refuge. They did not all end in deaths but there is no doubt that children witnessed awful abuse in those homes.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Gender Equality: Recommendations of Citizens' Assembly on Gender Equality: Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth (24 Mar 2022)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Gender Equality: Recommendations of Citizens' Assembly on Gender Equality: Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth (24 Mar 2022)

Réada Cronin: Deputy O'Reilly dealt with many stakeholders. A lot of background work was done on the Bill that we brought forward and it is ready to go. I think that it would be a good Bill to go on but maybe I would say that.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Gender Equality: Recommendations of Citizens' Assembly on Gender Equality: Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth (24 Mar 2022)

Réada Cronin: If the Minister is working on this I might add that I brought forward a Private Member's Bill on bereavement leave for parents. We all know the death of a family member is awful, but in the case of the death of a child, there is nothing quite like it. I know there are Oireachtas Members who have been affected by the death of a child. The Bill I brought forward with Deputy Louise O'Reilly...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Energy Challenges: Discussion (29 Mar 2022)

Réada Cronin: My first question is for Ms Connolly and follows up on that. In her presentation she spoke about the fugitive leak of methane in the US and the need for us to watch the shale aspect of any LNG import and use. While we are very good at ticking boxes on commitments and even achievements, without putting source and impact into context, we will have a job trying to communicate this to others....

Childcare Fees: Motion [Private Members] (5 Apr 2022)

Réada Cronin: I commend Deputy Funchion on the motion. It is difficult to believe that mothers in north County Kildare are being forced to give up work not because of the marriage bar but because they cannot afford, or sometimes cannot secure, proper childcare for their children. Even their own mothers say they cannot believe this is the case in 2022. This issue affects mainly women given that, while we...

Carbon Budget: Motion (6 Apr 2022)

Réada Cronin: I am glad to speak on this important issue. As a member of the climate committee I admit I am very worried we are running out of time. Worry is the only sane and sensible reaction given what our world is facing with climate change and its advance. According to the IPCC report we are facing major capital cities being underwater. We are facing unprecedented heatwaves. We have already seen...
