Statistics (Decade of Centenaries) Bill 2020: Second Stage [Private Members] (21 Oct 2021)

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: Once there is somebody to respond to the Minister of State.

Statistics (Decade of Centenaries) Bill 2020: Second Stage [Private Members] (21 Oct 2021)

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: Notwithstanding what the Ceann Comhairle said, it was an elegant navigation of Standing Orders a few minutes ago. The Government amendment is a particular device and I think it is the most remarkable use yet I have seen of it. The Government regularly comes to the House to say it will look at something in a year's time. It is its way of avoiding voting against something. In this instance,...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Primary Medical Certificates (21 Oct 2021)

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: I suppose there is good in that response, but it does not deal with all the issues. This process does not seem to be running at full steam. While there has been some progress made in the backlog, the community medical doctors are also doing many other jobs which puts demands on the resources. The other issue which has not been addressed is the delay in the appeals, which is a key part of...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Primary Medical Certificates (21 Oct 2021)

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: This matter has been raised a few times, although I am not sure if it was raised very recently in the Oireachtas. The primary medical certificate is primarily about adapted vehicles. That is the most common reason people require it. It is relevant where people have a disability or suffered a long-term or permanent injury that means they required a specially adapted vehicle. It is crucial...

Covid-19: Reframing the Challenge, Continuing our Recovery and Reconnecting: Statements (21 Oct 2021)

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: Like Deputy Gould, I briefly raise the case of Mr. Nadim Hussain, who is on hunger strike and ask that the Minister for Justice give it her attention and see whether she can assist. School leaders and boards of management feel isolated. They can hardly get hold of the HSE and they feel completely abandoned by the Department of Education. The changes in respect of self-isolation were...

Breast Cancer Awareness Month: Statements (21 Oct 2021)

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: As the Minister of State knows, there are few families in Ireland that have not been affected by breast cancer. As Deputy Andrews said, it affects one in nine women. This is an enormous proportion of the population when we think about it, particularly if we were to put all of those women in one place. We must also remember that one in 1,000 men will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their...

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (21 Oct 2021)

Child and Family Agency (Amendment) Bill 2021: Second Stage (20 Oct 2021)

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: With regard to the legislation, I believe it makes sense to have these functions within the Department of Education. It is logical and the feedback I get from school completion projects and from education welfare officers is that it is logical. There are some issues and concerns that we need to watch but that is not a reason not to do it. When they were in Tusla, some education welfare...

Autism Spectrum Disorder Bill 2017 [Seanad]: Second Stage [Private Members] (20 Oct 2021)

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: We have to fight for everything. That is the phrase I hear from every parent of a child with autism. It is the case for all the families of children with disabilities, but especially so for those families who have children with autism. They must fight for every inch, every service and every appointment. They must fight for everything. To be honest, I have not seen that change in all the...

Rental Sector: Motion [Private Members] (19 Oct 2021)

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: It has never been great to be a renter in Ireland. These days being a renter in Ireland is like being on a treadmill in that you are trapped, stranded and handing out fortunes of money, very often for substandard accommodation and, worse, you are always in an uncertain position, subject to a notice to quit under the many loopholes throughout tenancy legislation in this State and, when you do...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: Leaving Certificate Reform: Discussion (19 Oct 2021)

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: This has been a very thoughtful discussion, to which everybody, on all sides of the table, has come with an open mind. That is really welcome. I am a little surprised, in a good way, that after three sessions, there is the vague outline of areas of agreement. There is not quite a consensus but there has been substantial agreement across many of the organisations from which we have heard....
