Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters: Self-advocacy and Women with Disabilities: Discussion (9 Mar 2023)

Holly Cairns: I thank everyone for coming before the committee and giving us their time. Today's theme of self-advocacy and women with disabilities is an important consideration for the committee. The Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities is about providing a rights-based approach to disability. This is a two-sided coin because it is about empowering people to understand and exercise...

International Women's Day: Statements (8 Mar 2023)

Holly Cairns: I also wish everyone a happy International Women's Day. Although this annual session for International Women’s Day is a welcome chance to highlight the issues impacting girls and women, I have to wonder if I could just dust off last year’s speech and give it again. What has changed in the meantime? The Government’s announcement of the referendum on removing the...

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (8 Mar 2023)

Holly Cairns: Today is International Women’s Day. We know that women disproportionately adopt caring duties in the home. We also know the State's supports for carers are utterly threadbare. There are now 700 vacant posts in the children's disability network teams, CDNTs. Not one of those teams is fully staffed. Despite all the promises made by the Government to improve services, fewer therapy...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (7 Mar 2023)

The Taoiseach said the Government had weighed up the pros...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (7 Mar 2023)

Holly Cairns: It is unbearable sitting here listening to the Taoiseach trying to defend the indefensible: the Government's decision to lift the ban on evictions in the middle of a housing emergency. The Government has now potentially condemned thousands of individuals and families to homelessness. There is nowhere for them to go when they leave their homes. There is no affordable private rental...

Holly Cairns: Thank you very much, a Cheann Comhairle. I am a member of the first ever generation who will be worse off than our parents. This did not happen by accident. Political choices made by successive Governments have resulted in the aspirations and dreams of an entire generation being either diminished or destroyed. Nowhere is the political betrayal of young people more evident than in the...

Holly Cairns: I thank the Taoiseach for his warm wishes; I appreciate that. He reeled off a number of statistics and issues with regard to employment and education, which are key. Without somewhere to live, however, it is difficult to get through any kind of employment or education. The most important statistics for people out there are that rents and house prices have never been higher and...
