Shortage of Teachers: Motion [Private Members] (24 Jan 2018)

Lisa Chambers: I compliment my colleague, Deputy Thomas Byrne, on putting forward such a coherent and substantive motion. I welcome the teachers' unions in the Gallery and thank them for being here with us. First, we must acknowledge that there is a problem rather than switching to speaking about curtailing careering breaks or that we have not had a decrease in numbers when we know that student numbers...

Other Questions: Protected Disclosures (24 Jan 2018)

Lisa Chambers: The Minister of State is well aware of the disclosures we are discussing because they have been discussed in the House several times. The Minister of State referred to the review. He appointed Mr. Christopher O'Toole to conduct an independent review.

Other Questions: Protected Disclosures (24 Jan 2018)

Lisa Chambers: The Minister of State seems somehow to be suggesting that his inaction is to serve the interests of those affected. It is a little bit like Groundhog Day with this issue.

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Defence Forces Representative Organisations (24 Jan 2018)

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Defence Forces Representative Organisations (24 Jan 2018)

Lisa Chambers: I think I might have beaten the Minister of State to it in informing the House of Mr. Barry's appointment. Nevertheless, I welcome the progress on this issue.

I am glad that he has moved from that...
