Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (18 May 2023)

Louise O'Reilly: Ten days ago, Panda Waste introduced yet another charge for my hard-pressed constituents. This time it is €3.80 for the lift of the brown bin. I was contacted by one of my neighbours who said she put her brown bin out for the last time two weeks ago. She simply cannot afford another €100 per year, and that is if she only puts it out once per fortnight. It is the brown bin,...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Employment Strategy and Impact on Disabled Persons in the Workplace: Discussion (Resumed) (17 May 2023)

Louise O'Reilly: So people with disabilities are completely locked out because everything has moved online. People often say that information or a service is really accessible now because it can be accessed by phone. However, if the technology is inaccessible by persons with disabilities then that situation is akin to standing outside of a building that has its doors locked. I wish to inquire about the...

Accommodation Needs for New Arrivals: Statements (23 May 2023)

Louise O'Reilly: I will say a few words of thanks to those local groups working very hard on the ground to counter misinformation and disinformation. Groups, such as Fingal Communities Against Racism, FCAR, which operate in my constituency, do huge amounts of work in welcoming people to our community and dispelling myths spread by members of the far right who are many and, believe me, FCAR is busy trying to...

Access to Autism and Disability Assessments and Supports: Motion [Private Members] (24 May 2023)

Louise O'Reilly: I want to say a brief word about the workers who are working in the area of children's disability. They trained to help kids. They trained to work with families. They spend their entire day firefighting and saying "No". They know the kids need the services and that, in many cases, they have the skills to deliver those services but their time is entirely taken up with saying "No", telling...

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (24 May 2023)

Louise O'Reilly: On after-school care for children with additional needs, the norm for most families is that when kids finish in the crèche and go to school, they transfer to a mainstream school with after-school care in a private crèche or other facility. However, many parents in my constituency who have children with additional needs are being advised by a private childcare provider that they...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Employee Experiences of Technological Surveillance in the Financial Services Sector: Discussion (24 May 2023)

Louise O'Reilly: I thank the witnesses, specifically for this report and for giving us the opportunity to have this important discussion this morning. This surveillance has been happening quite a lot without remarks being made about it. There is something a little sneaky about it, although there is probably another word for it. It has been creeping in. I have a speaking slot in the Dáil Chamber...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Employee Experiences of Technological Surveillance in the Financial Services Sector: Discussion (24 May 2023)

Louise O'Reilly: That is the danger. This has already started and goes largely unremarked, although I know Mr. O'Connell and others have been talking about it. In the broader sense of discussions at the level of the workplace, and even beyond, workers may be talking to themselves and asking what they think that means and how much information they think they have. We have not had that broader conversation...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Employee Experiences of Technological Surveillance in the Financial Services Sector: Discussion (24 May 2023)

Louise O'Reilly: I thank Dr. O'Sullivan. She is correct that we are behind. That is why this research is so important. At the very least, it will kick start the conversations we need to be having. The phrase "better late than never" is probably applicable, but at least we are starting. Monitoring is more than just monitoring the number of key strokes or the screen activity. It is has gone very deep....

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Employee Experiences of Technological Surveillance in the Financial Services Sector: Discussion (24 May 2023)

Louise O'Reilly: Without regulation, it is possible that some employers could be storing data without necessarily understanding how they should be doing so. Everything Dr. O'Sullivan said points to the need for us to regulate this area fairly heavily. I have one final question as my time is tight. I come from the perspective that workers are adults. We all know that if people want to earn their wages,...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Employee Experiences of Technological Surveillance in the Financial Services Sector: Discussion (24 May 2023)

Louise O'Reilly: I apologise. Some of them are doing it because they feel they should. In terms of the right to disconnect, are the two related? Is one without the other going to work or do we need to have regulation plus the right to disconnect?
