We have called...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (2 Feb 2023)

Ivana Bacik: I am, frankly, disappointed by the Tánaiste's response. He has listed figures and mentioned the Cabinet sub-committee but as he said himself this is an unprecedented challenge, due to the scale of it, and we are not seeing from the Government the sort of scaled-up response required. We in the Opposition who are seeking to show solidarity are often finding out about plans in communities...

Ivana Bacik: Later today, the Dáil will debate the redress scheme for survivors of mother and baby homes. Like me, the Taoiseach, I know, will have received countless emails from those who are concerned that, despite public assurances, many will be excluded from the redress scheme. To quote from today's Irish Examinerarticle by Conall Ó Fátharta and Elaine Loughlin, the proposed scheme...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (1 Feb 2023)

Ivana Bacik: The Taoiseach's response indicates exactly the point I am making, namely, that the Government of the day is not merely another defendant and it is not appropriate for any government to act simply as another corporate defendant. The Government must of course, as a democratically elected government, reflect and respect the rights and wishes of the people and the common good. That is precisely...

Ivana Bacik: On Sunday, it was illegal charges to older persons in nursing home care over the course of three decades. Last night, it was the removal of disability allowance payments, the DPMA, from up to 12,000 vulnerable people in institutional care.

Ceisteanna - Questions: Child Poverty (31 Jan 2023)

Ivana Bacik: I thank the Taoiseach for the update on the new child poverty unit but we still need more detail.
