It is almost the end of the month now. Given what happened to those children, the exposé on RTE, and the...

Catherine Connolly: I welcome the Taoiseach's open attitude, but this is way beyond complaints. There has been a large number of appeals, 66% of which have been upheld in one way or another. That figure speaks volumes. Second, the administration of this scheme has become abusive in itself. This issue has been raised by me, by my colleagues last week in the Chamber in a Topical Issue debate, and by various...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (23 Oct 2018)

Catherine Connolly: My question arises from direct contact with people who have suffered at the hands of the State and religious organisations and who, unfortunately, are being traumatised again by the State, particularly through their contact with Caranua. Significantly, I pose this question on the same day that we await the Taoiseach's decision on the mother and baby home in Tuam. I sincerely hope he will...

I have less than two minutes so I will not elaborate further. His comments can be read in today's newspapers. There are...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Housing Issues (18 Oct 2018)

Catherine Connolly: I hope the Chairman will show leniency, given the seriousness of the subject. While I believe the Tánaiste is genuine and interested, I do not think he realises that it is his Government's policy that is causing the problem. The Government is an integral part of the problem, not the solution. Homelessness in Galway is out of control. These are not my words. I have referred to the...
