Paul Gavan: I accept that, Chathaoirligh. In fairness, the Cathaoirleach is always fair and I want to put that on the record.

Seanad: Protection of Employment (Measures to Counter False Self-Employment) Bill 2018: Committee Stage (27 Mar 2019)

Paul Gavan: I want to say, because it will probably be my last opportunity to speak on the legislation this evening, that it is such a disgraceful action to have Deputy O'Dea launch his Bill while his party deigns to not even appear here this evening, and it is a huge letdown for workers and trade unions. After being three years in this place I am absolutely sick of people playing politics with issues...

Seanad: Order of Business (28 Mar 2019)

Paul Gavan: Hear, hear.

Seanad: Order of Business (28 Mar 2019)

Paul Gavan: I want to, again, raise the issue of Shannon Airport. Earlier this week, ten Afghan children from one extended family were killed - murdered by a US air strike in Kunduz in Afghanistan. There is no doubt that this country is complicit in that killing and the range of killings by US forces in Syria, Iraq and the aforementioned Afghanistan. I have asked for a debate on this issue countless...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (3 Apr 2019)

Paul Gavan: I begin by mentioning that there are 92 patients on trolleys in University Hospital Limerick. This is a new national record. I will not repeat all the points I made last week again but ask for an urgent debate as conditions continue to worsen weekly. I raise the issue of school patronage. It will not surprise the Leader to know that I have a different take on it to the conservative stance...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (4 Apr 2019)

Paul Gavan: In the first three months of the year 11 Palestinian children were murdered by occupying Israeli forces. The fatalities included two children who were shot dead during the great march of return protests on 30 March. A volunteer medic was killed in Bethlehem last week. I quote the head of Defence for Children International as follows: "Israeli forces are killing Palestinian children with...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (16 Apr 2019)

Paul Gavan: I am glad that the protest at lunchtime today was raised. I have a particular personal interest in this because it was the first campaign I worked on as a SIPTU trade union official. It frankly beggars belief that 11 years on, successive Governments have ignored the recommendations from their own Labour Court, the highest industrial court in the country. This Government is very happy to...

Seanad: Aircraft Noise (Dublin Airport) Regulation Bill 2018: Committee and Remaining Stages (16 Apr 2019)

Paul Gavan: I have been following the debate from my office. For the most part, it has been a very credible debate across all sides, with genuine concerns expressed. The one thing I do not understand is the rush. I am at a loss as to why Fianna Fáil sided with Fine Gael to ensure that we do not have ample time to debate the Bill and move to Report Stage on another day. Listening to the debate on...
