Personal Injuries Resolution Board Bill 2022: Report and Final Stages (9 Nov 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: I thank the Minister of State and his officials for their engagement on this. Of course there is nobody here to see it, but it is one example of when we work together we work very well and can get stuff done. I do not have any amendments to this section. Amendments Nos. 2 and 3 are grouped. They are not massively dissimilar. That does not mean I oppose the Minister of State's amendment;...

Personal Injuries Resolution Board Bill 2022: Report and Final Stages (9 Nov 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: As I said, I support the idea it would be done by the Minister. That is a good thing. However, there seem to be some mechanisms of that which still have to be worked out, including how it is going to happen and when. We all know the power we have to compel a Minister. It is small when one is in opposition, and the Minister of State knows this. We can reserve the right be in a bad mood...

Criminal Justice (Incitement to Violence or Hatred and Hate Offences) Bill 2022: Second Stage (10 Nov 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: I welcome the opportunity to make a contribution to the debate today. I am very privileged to represent an incredibly diverse constituency. I genuinely believe the diversity we have in Fingal is a massive strength for my area and for our communities. I encourage the Minister to engage with her Government colleagues and remind them of the leadership role they have and must embrace within...

Select Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Work Life Balance and Miscellaneous Provisions Bill 2022: Committee Stage (8 Nov 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: I will ask a couple of questions after making an observation. I tabled a number of amendments that have been ruled out of order. Amendment No. 39 would have transposed into this Bill the Organisation of Working Time (Domestic Violence Leave) Bill 2020, which was sponsored by Deputy McDonald and me. The Bill was not opposed by the Government, so I do not understand why my amendment has been...

Select Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Work Life Balance and Miscellaneous Provisions Bill 2022: Committee Stage (8 Nov 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: That answers my question. There will be two tiers of staff and it will be a bit upstairs-downstairs in the public service after the enactment. Deputy Sherlock referred to a list of reasons a person might be availing of this leave. This is something I want to put to bed and I am assuming that the Minister will be in a position to do that today. The reasons they might be availing of this...

Select Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Work Life Balance and Miscellaneous Provisions Bill 2022: Committee Stage (8 Nov 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: It will be just that the leave is to be taken. Can I ask about the list, which I do not have in front of me because I left it upstairs? Is it the case that the list that contains the reasons is a non-exhaustive list, that is just an example and that it is not intended to be for any of these reasons?

Select Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Work Life Balance and Miscellaneous Provisions Bill 2022: Committee Stage (8 Nov 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: That is okay. With regard to the normal daily rate of pay, and this is something we had considered at the Committee on Enterprise, Trade and Employment, the question is always about whether premiums are included and about what constitutes a normal rate of pay. I am assuming it will be similar to how one would calculate a bank holiday entitlement, which is on a pro ratabasis, and that it...

Select Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Work Life Balance and Miscellaneous Provisions Bill 2022: Committee Stage (8 Nov 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: Unless it is confirmation from the Minister and Government that every person who takes unpaid leave for any reason is in fact replaced in the civil and public service. They are not.

Select Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Work Life Balance and Miscellaneous Provisions Bill 2022: Committee Stage (8 Nov 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: They are really not. Anyone who deals with the public service, as the Minister does, knows they are not. It is not a matter of routine that they are replaced.
