Select Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Estimates for Public Services 2020
Vote 32 - Business, Enterprise and Innovation (Revised) (18 Nov 2020)

Louise O'Reilly: ...be a meeting. This is a new form of work. I am going back to my trade union days to try to find an analogous grade or a comparator and the only one I could come up with would be members of An Garda Síochána who would be detailed with investigating incidents of child pornography. By virtue of their job, they would have to view similar images but I am also aware that content...

Government Appeal of European Commission Decision on State Aid to Apple: Motion (7 Sep 2016)

Louise O'Reilly: ...on this ruling, members of the public service remain crippled under the weight of the pension-related deduction. I do not understand how they can have the brass neck to look into the face of a nurse, teacher or garda when they have passed up the opportunity to levy taxes on a corporation. They are appealing a ruling that could be of benefit to the State and could alleviate that burden....

Louise O'Reilly: ...need ongoing support. I want to put that issue on the Minister's agenda so that a facility can be put in place to ensure the mental health supports that are needed can be provided both while the Garda investigation is ongoing and in its aftermath.

Debenhams Ireland Redundancies: Motion [Private Members] (22 Jul 2020)

Louise O'Reilly: ...another pay increase for people who are already very well paid. It is not a good look for the Government when Ministers are squabbling over which of them will be allocated an aide-de-camp or another Garda driver. Government party Deputies have expressed their disappointment at not being chosen to take a step up. None of them referred to ability. None of them stated that they wanted the...

Children and Family Relationships Bill 2018: Second Stage (11 Jul 2018)

Louise O'Reilly: ...to get a passport for my daughter, who was born before my husband and I were married. It was many years ago and much has changed in this State since then. I found it incredibly difficult to find a garda who would stamp the form because my husband and I were not then married. I knew who my child's father was but it was difficult. It felt disrespectful to my family that we did not fit in...

Public Health (Alcohol) Bill 2015 [Seanad]: Second Stage (6 Feb 2018)

Louise O'Reilly: .... One is unlikely to find a health care professional in the accident and emergency department of any hospital who has recently treated a person for the harmful effects of burnt toast.

Working from Home (Covid-19) Bill 2020: Second Stage [Private Members] (18 Nov 2020)

Louise O'Reilly: ...One thing we have learned because of the pandemic is what an essential worker really is. When I was growing up, if someone had asked me what an essential worker was, I probably would have said a nurse, a garda or somebody such as a firefighter or someone perceived to be on the front line in that way. The pandemic showed us, however, that supply chain workers, cleaners and people in...
