An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (20 Sep 2023)

Louise O'Reilly: The Minister for Health needs to be here. He needs to answer questions. We can read in the media that the families of the children who have been left waiting despite all of the promises and have been drip-fed information, as is the form with this Government, want information. The man who can provide that is the Minister for Health. He should be here. There should be nothing more pressing...

This matter is now incredibly urgent for service users and for their families who rely on these agencies for supports, day services and respite...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Public Transport (27 Sep 2023)

Louise O'Reilly: I bring to the Minister of State’s attention issues that occur regularly in my constituency regarding the provision of public transport. I am lucky to represent one of the youngest and fastest growing parts of this island. The needs of the communities I represent are many and varied but the one thing that comes back time and again is dissatisfaction with the quality and frequency of...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Public Transport (27 Sep 2023)

Louise O'Reilly: The Minister of State will forgive a little bit of cynicism on my part when she mentions projects like MetroLink. There are people in my constituency who bought houses off the plans from brochures that had a picture of MetroLink on them. They thought their kids might be able to use it to go to school and perhaps college, and maybe at some point their kids might be able to use it to get into...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: SME Energy and Carbon Demands, Green Initiatives and Technology: Discussion (27 Sep 2023)

Louise O'Reilly: I thank all the witnesses for being here. I apologise for being a little late; I had a Topical Issue in the Dáil Chamber. This is very interesting. When I read through the submissions yesterday, I noted that a fair amount of work is being done, but there is also a thread running through both the submissions. I do not think it is a reluctance on behalf of EI's client companies; I...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: SME Energy and Carbon Demands, Green Initiatives and Technology: Discussion (27 Sep 2023)

Louise O'Reilly: I thank Mr. Lowe. In terms of the training and the conversations that are taking place, it strikes me that there are a number of ways to do this. Maybe there are not, however, and I am coming at this the wrong way. While one obviously has to look at the process, one also have to look at the people who are working in the companies, even in small companies. Is it part of the process to do...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: SME Energy and Carbon Demands, Green Initiatives and Technology: Discussion (27 Sep 2023)

Louise O'Reilly: To be fair, the time is probably now but the question is how to convey that sense of urgency. There was a big ticking clock with Brexit. There is a big clicking clock with climate action but it just does not seem to be translating. That is not a reflection on the work being done because it appears a lot of work is being done. Perhaps it is more of a societal thing than a business thing. ...
