Statute Law Revision Bill 2024: Second Stage (26 Mar 2025)

Our Statute Book should be reflective of the laws that govern us and free of historical instruments that...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (1 Apr 2025)

Sinéad Gibney: Since 2016, there has been an almost 70% increase in the number of aircraft permitted to bring weapons of war through Ireland or on Irish-registered aircraft. A significant number of flights carrying weapons destined for Israel have travelled through Irish airspace without permission. One would have to wonder, given the carte blanche that apparently exists in the relevant Department, why...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Pension Provisions (3 Apr 2025)

Sinéad Gibney: The changes to the public service pension scheme in 2013 essentially created, first, an anomaly and, now, something that has crystalised into policy in respect of fast accrual.

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Pension Provisions (3 Apr 2025)

Sinéad Gibney: I will jump on one phrase the Minister used. I know it has been essentially a policy that Government spokespeople have used. It is that people are "able" to work after the age of 55. I raised this question on the back of a meeting I had with Dublin firefighters and their union representatives last week. They spoke to me about the specific dangers that their vocation introduced into their...
