Réada Cronin: I understand that.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Provision of Bus Services in Dublin: Discussion (8 Nov 2022)

Réada Cronin: The reason I have been given is that Covid-19 is causing a problem. Does Go-Ahead Ireland still have Covid restriction measures on its buses, for example, keeping the windows open and stuff like that?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Provision of Bus Services in Dublin: Discussion (8 Nov 2022)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Provision of Bus Services in Dublin: Discussion (8 Nov 2022)

COP27: Statements (29 Nov 2022)

Réada Cronin: I would like to be associated with the remarks of an Teachta O'Rourke regarding the contribution of the Minister at COP27, as well as that of the Taoiseach. I am glad to speak about COP27. It feeds into the claims of climate deniers to say that COP has created so much hot air, it would make its own contribution to global warming. It is important to put climate in the media and public...

Toll Charge Increases: Motion [Private Members] (29 Nov 2022)

Réada Cronin: With breaking news this afternoon on their deferral, it seems the bells have tolled on the toll increases, at least for now. On behalf of my constituents in Leixlip, Celbridge, Maynooth, Kilcock, Donadea, Broadford and out along the M4, I would like to thank an Teachta O'Rourke for the political pressure this motion has brought to bear. It is no harm to remind the public what this was all...

Local Government (Maternity Protection and Other Measures for Members of Local Authorities) Bill 2022: Second Stage (1 Dec 2022)

Réada Cronin: I am glad to speak on this Bill, which gives maternity leave and maternity benefit to elected councillors in line with the Maternity Protection Act 1994. I thank the Minister of State and his Department for their work in getting the legislation to this point. I am glad that the Bill provides for the co-option of temporary substitutes for women when they are absent as a result of giving...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Role of Media and Communications in Actioning Climate Change: Discussion (29 Nov 2022)

Réada Cronin: I was really looking forward to this meeting because it is very interesting to focus on these issues. My first question is to Dr. Robbins. He spoke about how the media sector is struggling, with advertising revenue decimated by technology platforms. Many young people get their news from those platforms. There is an issue regarding greenwashing advertising and the conflict of interest that...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Role of Media and Communications in Actioning Climate Change: Discussion (29 Nov 2022)

Réada Cronin: I have another question for Dr Robbins. He said he has been working with news organisations on broadening and deepening their climate coverage. Was that engagement mainly Dublin-centred? Many people get their news from the local radio station.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Role of Media and Communications in Actioning Climate Change: Discussion (29 Nov 2022)

Réada Cronin: I was disappointed with what Dr. Lunn said about education. I thought the reason I did not litter was that it was drummed into us in school that we should not throw anything on the ground or we would be litterbugs. When the change in legislation on the use of seat belts came in, it was my children who forced me to remember to adhere to that. Now I do it automatically. I am very upset...

Patient Safety (Notifiable Patient Safety Incidents) Bill 2019: Report Stage (7 Dec 2022)

Réada Cronin: The CervicalCheck scandal is a scandal in which many people become seriously ill and die. We very much welcome this legislation and the opportunity to speak on it. We have no issue with what is in the Bill, as such, or with the amendments but we have a serious issue with the absence of the duty of candour in the Bill. We need open disclosure. We must have an obligation on the clinician to...

Patient Safety (Notifiable Patient Safety Incidents) Bill 2019: Report Stage (7 Dec 2022)

Réada Cronin: I listened to the Minister's response. I appreciate what the Minister stated about anonymising the audits and the difficulty in identifying slides. I wonder if there is any possibility of redesigning that system and looking at it again. I appreciate that the Minister is willing to look at another amendment. This stands out for me as well because Emma Mhic Mhathúna, who was from...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Provision of Bus Services in Dublin: Discussion (8 Nov 2022)

Réada Cronin: No. The bus should go around the town and not just come in and go back out the road it came from. It should circle the town. I made that submission to BusConnects as well. The people to whom I have spoken all think it is a very good idea so I do not see why not.

Written Answers — Department of Education and Skills: Special Educational Needs (6 Dec 2022)

Réada Cronin: 298. To ask the Minister for Education and Skills if she will establish a multi-agency, specialist working group to examine and propose a process for assessing school placement breakdowns, both before and after they happen, given the complex needs involved, physical, neurological and intellectual and the innate vulnerability of the children; and if she will make a statement on the matter....

Réada Cronin: 299. To ask the Minister for Education and Skills if her Department will examine the situation in cases in which disciplinary action is taken against children for behaviours caused by their conditions, when they have no control over these behaviours and therefore have no intention to disturb or offend; her views on whether these disciplinary measures are fair or equitable in such...

Written Answers — Department of Education and Skills: Special Educational Needs (6 Dec 2022)

Réada Cronin: 300. To ask the Minister for Education and Skills if an audit has been carried out or will be undertaken on restraint, seclusion, isolation, punishment and other invasive physical actions taken under the broad heading ‘necessary actions’ given such actions would be deemed unacceptable in the mainstream school system; if such an audit will be undertaken each year; and if she will...
