Vote 32 - Department of Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation (Revised) (21 Jun 2016)

Maurice Quinlivan: I was disappointed by the Minister's maiden speech in the Dáil because she made no reference to low pay, workers' rights or industrial relations.

I wish to refer to page 83 of the Revised Estimates where it is stated that in 2013-----

Vote 32 - Department of Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation (Revised) (21 Jun 2016)

Maurice Quinlivan: It is hard to read the documentation. One heading is "Context and Impact indicators" but I shall continue with my question. In 2013, a total of 14,965 days were lost due to industrial action but by December 2015 the figure had jumped to the very high figure of 32,848. Obviously, a significant part of the latter figure included the teachers' strike about the reform of the junior...

The Arts: Motion [Private Members] (22 Jun 2016)

Maurice Quinlivan: I welcome all the people in the Public Gallery. It is great to see such a crowd. We do not normally get so many people here. The arts are part of the DNA of the Irish State. Their very uniqueness is what makes us who we are as a people. In this sense, the arts and our cultural institutions are the key producers of Irish identity. In a mature society that values expression and...

Equal Status (Admission to Schools) Bill 2016: Second Stage [Private Members] (28 Jun 2016)

Maurice Quinlivan: While Sinn Féin will support the Bill, in light of serious concerns expressed by a significant percentage of the population on this issue, we believe the legislation does not go far enough. As such, this is disappointing and a lost opportunity. There is little doubt that the issue of school admissions has become extremely controversial. We are dealing with the legacy of an...
