Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (18 Oct 2022)

Ivana Bacik: It is welcome to hear more detail of the proposed Bill. We will work with the Government, as will all in the Opposition, to ensure it is passed as soon as possible to see protections for those renting through the winter.

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (18 Oct 2022)

Ivana Bacik: We welcome the Government's U-turn on the winter eviction ban and the announcement earlier. It represents a real change since Thursday when I questioned the Tánaiste on it then. His response was rather lukewarm on the prospect of a temporary eviction ban. We welcome it but we have to remember that for nearly 11,000 individuals and 3,220 children who are homeless and without a secure...

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (13 Oct 2022)

Ivana Bacik: Two weeks ago I asked the Taoiseach to examine taking the Corrib gas field into State ownership. He indicated that it was not the Government's intention to do so. I again emphasise that the Government has powers to do so, powers which have already been used previously by Fianna Fáil, under the Fuels (Control of Supplies) Acts of 1971 and 1982. As we see a growing energy security and...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (13 Oct 2022)

Ivana Bacik: The key message for today is we need a winter eviction ban. We have seen it in the report from Threshold launched today, which was unequivocal. It outlined that the most pressing issue facing those renting in the private sector in Ireland is the termination of their tenancy. The fear of termination of tenancy, of eviction, is the biggest fear confronting renters. With over 10,000 people...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (13 Oct 2022)

Ivana Bacik: We have certainly been pushing for a wider response.

We were glad the Government did not oppose the Bill at that time but we would like to see further progress made on it. It is...
