Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters: Aligning Disability Services with the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities: Discussion (Resumed) (18 Nov 2021)

Seán Canney: I thank all our guests for being here and for their presentations. Ms Casserly mentioned that a number of years ago, all of a sudden, as a young woman she was faced with Parkinson's, wondering how she was going to cope with that and tell her family about it and that she also had to give up work, etc. It has been life-changing.

Seán Canney: I welcome the Minister back to the Chamber. I congratulate her on the birth of her baby. I welcome the Bill, but it should have been introduced a long time ago.

People have needed to go to the courts to define something that should be...

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Inflation: Discussion (Resumed) (17 Nov 2021)

Seán Canney: I was listening to what was said there. The thing that I really want to get on top of is carbon tax. I know that the ESRI factored that into its analysis, but the cost of living is going up. The weekly shopping is going up as are travel costs. How sustainable is that? I know we say that there are international reasons for the fuel costs going up but fuel costs drive up every other cost....

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Inflation: Discussion (Resumed) (17 Nov 2021)

Seán Canney: I think Dr. Doorley and Dr. Farrell are confusing two things. They may believe that people living in rural Ireland who cannot access public transport are all on social welfare. Many are working and paying their taxes and will not benefit from an increase in social welfare payments. The people I am talking about are the working people who, through carbon tax, must pay more to go to work to...

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (11 Nov 2021)

Seán Canney: I want to raise an important issue relating to Galway County Council. There has been a serious lack of money in the local government fund for the council Galway for many number of years.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters: Aligning Disability Services with the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities: Discussion (Resumed) (11 Nov 2021)

Seán Canney: I thank our guests for their presentations. It is ironic that this morning the Minister of State, Deputy Rabbitte, issued a statement on Ireland submitting its milestone first report under the UNCRPD.

Seán Canney: I thank the witnesses. It has been a fantastic couple of hours. I asked Ms Farrell if she gets tired of it at times, and Ms Bardon has just said it.

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Inflation: Discussion (10 Nov 2021)

Seán Canney: I thank the witnesses for their presentations and their input. What Deputy Durkan said with regard to what we need to do is interesting.
