Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Defence Forces Representative Organisations (24 Jan 2018)

Lisa Chambers: My question was to ask when the Minister of State, Deputy Kehoe, will appoint an independent chairperson to commence the review of the Defence Forces conciliation and arbitration scheme and why that appointment was not made by the end of 2017, as he had committed to doing to the representative associations. I now understand that since I tabled the question last week, the Minister of State...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Defence Forces Representative Organisations (24 Jan 2018)

Lisa Chambers: I think I might have beaten the Minister of State to it in informing the House of Mr. Barry's appointment. Nevertheless, I welcome the progress on this issue. When the Minister of State, Deputy Kehoe, was asked about this on "Prime Time", he said he did not think that it would be independent if we had RACO and PDFORRA sitting around the table. I am glad that he has moved from that...

Other Questions: Protected Disclosures (24 Jan 2018)

Lisa Chambers: The Minister of State seems somehow to be suggesting that his inaction is to serve the interests of those affected. It is a little bit like Groundhog Day with this issue. We continue to ask the questions and we continue to get the same stock response. This issue was the subject of many parliamentary questions last year. It is not going to go away. It will be the subject of many...

Other Questions: Protected Disclosures (24 Jan 2018)

Lisa Chambers: The Minister of State is well aware of the disclosures we are discussing because they have been discussed in the House several times. The Minister of State referred to the review. He appointed Mr. Christopher O'Toole to conduct an independent review. That report was farcical, not because of Mr. O'Toole's work, but in the terms of reference he specifically stated that he did not have the...

Shortage of Teachers: Motion [Private Members] (24 Jan 2018)

Lisa Chambers: I compliment my colleague, Deputy Thomas Byrne, on putting forward such a coherent and substantive motion. I welcome the teachers' unions in the Gallery and thank them for being here with us. First, we must acknowledge that there is a problem rather than switching to speaking about curtailing careering breaks or that we have not had a decrease in numbers when we know that student numbers...
