Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Special Educational Needs (9 Jul 2020)

Catherine Connolly: I wish the Minister the best in her new role, but I am not happy with her reply, which is the same as a reply we got already. I along with colleagues tabled a parliamentary question and that was the standard reply we got. I am trying to go behind that reply. A number of children with special needs have suffered enough because of Covid. They now cannot attend the July provision because...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Co-operative Sector (14 Jul 2020)

Catherine Connolly: Baineann mo cheist leis an co-operative movement. I am not sure if the Tánaiste is replying to this question, but what plans has he to review and strengthen the co-operative sector?

What steps...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Co-operative Sector (14 Jul 2020)

Catherine Connolly: I do not have a copy of the reply to hand, which makes it a little awkward to respond to the Minister of State. I welcome the fact that the heads of the scheme will be published. Forgive my cynicism, however, as I go back over 60 years of promise after promise. Following a suggestion from Mr. Lemass, a report was published in 1964. We move forward to a report in 1986, 20 years later, and...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Co-operative Sector (14 Jul 2020)

Catherine Connolly: I welcome that commitment from the Minister of State and I will certainly judge him on his actions. The reason 60 years was mentioned was to put it into perspective. The legislation dates back to 1893 and gives no recognition to the distinct characteristics of co-operatives, or any reference to the co-operative principle. The Forfás report in 2007 highlights that the co-operative...

Maternity Leave Benefit Extension: Motion [Private Members] (14 Jul 2020)

Catherine Connolly: I welcome the opportunity to take part in the debate and thank Deputy Kerrane for bringing the motion before the House. I also thank Deputy Bríd Smith, who has put great work into this area. Really, though, this came from the ground, and what Sinn Féin has rightly done, and it deserves praise for having done so, is to respond to the organic movement of women on the ground. We...

Catherine Connolly: Déanaim comhghairdeas leis an Aire nua, an Teachta Calleary, agus leis an mbeirt eile. Guím gach rath orthu ina róil nua. Cuireann sé iontas orm, áfach, nach ndearna an Taoiseach tagairt ar bith d'Aire sóisearach don Ghaeltacht.
