Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Special Educational Needs (18 Apr 2024)

Réada Cronin: I thank the Minister of State. I get the parliamentary questions replies all the time. I send them out to the parents who have children waiting for places and they tell me they are sick to the teeth of the replies. I am embarrassed to send them. They call them copy-and-paste replies. The school place action committee in Clane is a force to be reckoned with. It tells me that it sees...

After a recent suicide attempt and a 999 call, he spent a night in the Lakeview unit attached to Naas General Hospital, in a padded room in the dark. Seán is terrified of the dark. He left Naas General...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: Irish Emergency Alliance: Discussion (23 Apr 2024)

Réada Cronin: I apologise for being late. It was our speaking time in the Dáil and I could not drag myself away. I read the Irish Emergency Alliance's opening statement last night. We do, indeed, live in critical times. There is a war in Europe and the ongoing genocide in Gaza with EU and American weapons, as well as the appalling situation in Sudan and all that. I like the idea of an alliance in...

Réada Cronin: 152. To ask the Minister for Finance if he will instruct the banks, and in particular banks previously bailed out by the citizens, to make it their policy - not ‘an exception’ - that cash be accepted at teller desks for lodgement to personal accounts, without customers being requested to do so by machine and card, this being critical for people who are not tech-savvy; and if he...

Supports for Survivors of Residential Institutional Abuse Bill 2024: Second Stage (30 Apr 2024)

Réada Cronin: Another week and another group of wronged people are seeking justice from the State. We seem to be making a habit of it. It is almost part of the State's culture, one of a lesser-loved tradition we have, except today there is no fanfare, there are no pen portraits to help us to identify with the victims and there is no media live-tweeting and hanging on to every word, eager to be the...

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (2 May 2024)

Réada Cronin: I raise the case of an 11-year-old constituent of mine who has been three years waiting for a psychologist appointment.

Defence (Amendment) Bill 2024: Second Stage (2 May 2024)

Réada Cronin: I welcome the opportunity to speak on the Bill, which sets out to rebuild and restructure our Defence Forces as a modern, confident entity that reflects our modern, confident State. Being straightforward, procedural at times and administrative in nature, the matters within it would ordinarily preclude extensive discussion or debate. Regrettably, the non-straightforward approach means this...

Defence (Amendment) Bill 2024: Second Stage (2 May 2024)

Réada Cronin: -----while providing the minimum permissible Dáil debate on those topics. The Tánaiste published this Bill prior to the Joint Committee on Foreign Affairs and Defence having published its pre-legislative scrutiny report. He has no basis for excluding certain posts from membership of representative associations, and, as he dropped it as a legislative initiative, I ask him now to...
