Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection: Sustainable Development Goals: Discussion (28 Jun 2023)

Róisín Garvey: We have never really addressed the sustainable development goals at the committee and they are supposed to be addressed by every committee. It is important. The point I am trying to make is on where this sits with local authorities. I would love the advice and guidance of the witnesses on this. If we do not take it seriously at local authority level I do not know what we will do.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection: Sustainable Development Goals: Discussion (28 Jun 2023)

Róisín Garvey: I was not asking about fibre broadband.

Seanad: Youth Mental Health and Guidance Services in Secondary Schools: Motion [Private Members] (21 Jun 2023)

Róisín Garvey: I acknowledge the presence of the vice president of the IGC, Ms Catriona Rodgers, who takes on the role voluntarily and does not get paid. She has been stellar in her work with me. I hear all the time from two friends I have grown up with who have been guidance counsellors for 25 years, but Ms Rodgers still managed to educate me much further than I was previously on the whole challenge...

Seanad: Agricultural and Food Supply Chain Bill 2022: Second Stage (15 Jun 2023)

Róisín Garvey: I congratulate the Minister on this important work. I used to teach maths and physics but I also taught civil, social and political education. When I was teaching fair trade, I would draw a banana on the board and slice it up with the smallest slice going to the grower of the bananas. You could do that now with a steak or litre of milk. This Bill may help to deal with that. For far too...

I am glad, therefore, that the females of Cyprus and beyond can see her, a woman, in this position. It is not only inspiring for women but also for men. This is also important. It is not only women who are inspired. We can inspire...

Róisín Garvey: Inniu tá mé ag iarraidh labhairt faoi ábhar sláinte. I want to speak today about health and how prevention is better than cure. Yesterday was world Multiple Sclerosis Day.

One of the big takeaways for me was the need for neurophysiotherapists, not just for people with MS...

Seanad: Government Commitments on Offshore Renewable Energy: Motion (31 May 2023)

Róisín Garvey: Cuirim fáilte roimh an Aire Stáit. Three years ago, there was nothing happening in this area. With this new coalition Government, we have in the past three years expedited offshore wind to a level that was never even envisioned by any Opposition parties. There were not even policies on it. As soon as we addressed the issue, people immediately asked why we had not done work on it...

Seanad: Regulated Professions (Health and Social Care) (Amendment) Bill 2022: Committee and Remaining Stages (30 May 2023)

Róisín Garvey: Gabhaim buíochas leis an Aire. He pushed for this legislation as soon as he became Minister. As we know, there are huge issues with the backlog in processing qualifications.

He had good support from his staff, but sometimes it takes a Minister to...

There is also the heart, and he definitely played his part in bringing that deeper social and spiritual aspect to...
