Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Departmental Priorities and Legislation: Discussion (1 Jun 2022)

Chris Andrews: I would have questions about whether a Deputy or a councillor should on the board of an NGB. For grassroots clubs, such as St. Pat’s CY or Liffey Wanderers, I would say fair enough. However, when you get up to NGB level, that would have to be examined more closely. If I could just add, Deputy Griffin mentioned UEFA. I echo everything he said. Has the Minister of State expressed...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (21 Jun 2022)

Chris Andrews: Baggot Street hospital has been closed since 2019 and is steadily sliding into dereliction. The windows are boarded up and tiles are falling off the roof. Given the homeless emergency, will the Taoiseach intervene to ensure that this magnificent building is used for community purposes instead of being sold off to private investors?

Pre-European Council Meeting: Statements (21 Jun 2022)

Chris Andrews: Recent comments from the EU Commission stating that the EU will move to importing natural gas from Israel to reduce the EU's dependency on Russian gas are demoralising. It has to be made clear at the next European Council meeting that one cannot replace dependency on one rogue state with dependency on another rogue state, the other rogue state being apartheid Israel. The Government is...

Respite Care Services: Motion [Private Members] (22 Jun 2022)

Chris Andrews: I welcome the motion brought forward by the Independent Group. It is a very important issue. Many of us know the key role that respite provides in supporting family carers and those with a disability. More than 500,000 family carers provide vital care and support for their loved ones.

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Regeneration Projects (23 Jun 2022)

Chris Andrews: This is an issue I raise regularly. The situation does not seem to be getting any better. If anything, things seem to be getting worse. People living in flat complexes in the inner city are genuinely frustrated in respect of having been forgotten. They feel, and the evidence suggests they are right, that Dublin City Council has neglected them for too long, as has the Government. They are...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Regeneration Projects (23 Jun 2022)

Chris Andrews: They are all very fine words and I appreciate the personal commitment of the Minister of State, but the reality is that people living in inner-city flat complexes have to put up with rats, faeces and racism. It is horrendous for residents living in these communities. I do not feel there is any sense of urgency to progress the work. I met residents from Andrews Court four years ago in...

Autism Bill 2022: Second Stage [Private Members] (29 Jun 2022)

Chris Andrews: I welcome the Labour Party Bill. It is so important because it speaks to who we are as a society.
