Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Impact of Brexit on Trade in Ireland: Discussion (9 Mar 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: I appreciate that it may be early days for some of the data, but it is helpful to get a handle on the trend. Does Ms Hearty have an idea of how many companies in the South have diverted supply chains from Britain to the North? Has there been a consequent benefit of that in reduced transport costs, because people are not travelling as far, reduced emissions, or an increase in trade and...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Urban and Rural Regeneration: Discussion (Resumed) (8 Mar 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: I apologise for not being here for all the presentations; I had to speak in the Chamber. Most of my questions are local ones if the witnesses do not mind. There were some very welcome announcements recently related to Town Centre First fund, specifically for Lusk. I have the overall view but we are looking forward to getting the granular detail. At the same time health checks were...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Urban and Rural Regeneration: Discussion (Resumed) (8 Mar 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: It does indeed. I thank Mr O'Brien. My next question relates to the derelict sites register. In Fingal there were three properties on it as of December 2020. No additional sites were added to that and the local authority did not collect a single cent under the derelict sites levy in 2020. Six sites on the vacant sites register that are vacant now were vacant on the register in 2020....

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Urban and Rural Regeneration: Discussion (Resumed) (8 Mar 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: The issue for me is that nobody is saying "No". I would nearly prefer if one Department said it was not doing that because we could have a proper conversation about the issue. It is not unique to my area, but when I walk past the houses, I see they are falling further into dereliction, and it will be increasingly expensive to bring them back into use. Some catalyst will have to be deployed...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Company Liquidations (22 Mar 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: As we can imagine, the news that Roadbridge entered receivership came as a massive blow to the workers and their families, and also to the subcontractors who are now in a state of incredible uncertainty. It is scandalous. While the receivers, Grant Thornton, go through the necessary processes over the next 30 days, it is important that affected workers and subcontractors can have access to...

Ban on Sex for Rent Bill 2022: Second Stage [Private Members] (23 Mar 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: I thank the Deputies who brought forward this legislation. I also thank the Irish Examinerand specifically Ann Murphy for her work on this because she doggedly pursued this issue, brought it to public attention and should be acknowledged for that. I am glad the Government is not opposing the Bill. It would be better if the Government supported it. I think we are all getting a bit tired of...

Health (Assisted Human Reproduction) Bill 2022: Second Stage (23 Mar 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: Sinn Féin will be supporting this Bill in principle. We welcome the regulatory framework for assisted human reproduction, which will standardise access to and rights around IVF surrogacy and related research. This is a piece of legislation on which people have been waiting a very long time. The Minister of State and I can agree on this. People who have been in this Chamber much...
