Climate Action Plan 2023: Statements (18 Jan 2023)

Patricia Ryan: I begin by thanking Friends of the Earth for the copy of The Climate Book. Local members crowdfunded to send a copy to each Deputy. It is a very informative book, which I find myself dipping in and out of. One of the chapters is called "Why Didn't They Act?" and the conclusion is that people in positions of power and privilege refuse to acknowledge that climate change is a manifestation of...

Capacity in the Health Services: Motion [Private Members] (18 Jan 2023)

Patricia Ryan: I thank my colleague, An Teachta Cullinane, and his team for bringing forward this motion. Even the most unbiased eye can see our health service is in turmoil. Unfortunately, this is not a new problem. Successive Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael Governments made decisions that caused the crisis we are in or failed to make the decisions necessary to avert it. There are three former Ministers...

Agricultural and Food Supply Chain Bill 2022: Second Stage (19 Jan 2023)
