Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Security, Recruitment and Training at Dublin Airport: Discussion (14 Jun 2023)

Louise O'Reilly: I know. I am sorry if I was not clear. It was not a general meeting, I refer to a meeting specifically to discuss the runway issue. I am aware that we cannot discuss it here because we are in a public forum, but the DAA will not be in a public forum at the community liaison group. I do not believe there are any constraints on that. As Mr. Jacobs has said, the DAA will liaise with me and...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Security, Recruitment and Training at Dublin Airport: Discussion (14 Jun 2023)

Louise O'Reilly: Absolutely. To be clear, the people I represent have been looking for this meeting for months. The witnesses from the DAA will know that because the people have been seeking it from them. I just want to say that. I will move on to the issue of staffing. Reference was made to a recruitment campaign that is under way to recruit airport police. There was an issue with staffing. We do...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Security, Recruitment and Training at Dublin Airport: Discussion (14 Jun 2023)

Louise O'Reilly: Those figures are due to the staff and the hard work that is put in, as Mr. Jacobs said. I will add my own words because people have recounted their own personal experiences. My bag was lost in transit, not by DAA but by someone else, and I was in touch with a woman at the airport whose name is Michelle. I sent a message to her boss that she could not have been more efficient and she could...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Security, Recruitment and Training at Dublin Airport: Discussion (14 Jun 2023)

Louise O'Reilly: I have a final question regarding how the DAA has no intention of introducing charges for dropping off. I ask this in the context of the issues around parking, because all the issues are not gone. Not everyone will get a space. People will have to be dropped off if they cannot access public transport. If the DAA is not going to introduce those charges in the short, medium or long term -...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Security, Recruitment and Training at Dublin Airport: Discussion (14 Jun 2023)

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Early Childhood Care and Education (13 Jun 2023)

Louise O'Reilly: I thank the Minister, Deputy O'Gorman, not just for being here to take this matter but also for liaising with my office when he could not be here on a previous occasion when the issue was discussed. This arises out of a question I raised directly with the Taoiseach during Questions on Promised Legislation in regard to after-school care for children with additional needs. The norm for most...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Early Childhood Care and Education (13 Jun 2023)

Louise O'Reilly: I thank the Minister for his response. I am a big supporter of AIM. Its objectives are very worthwhile. These parents, however, are facing a cliff edge, and they are not the only ones. There are quite a number of them in my area. They are facing a cliff edge in July. Their children, effectively, will be excluded from access to summer camps, to after-school activities, and to...
