Social Welfare (No. 2) Bill 2018: Report and Final Stages (27 Nov 2019)

Maurice Quinlivan: The amendment tabled in the names of Deputies Brady and O'Dea is similar to an amendment tabled by Deputy Brady on Committee Stage. Sinn Féin considers it to be of great importance. No consideration was given to the impact on low income families of an increase in the carbon tax. No impact assessment was carried out before the budget, although that should have been done. The carbon...

Social Welfare (No. 2) Bill 2018: Report and Final Stages (27 Nov 2019)

Maurice Quinlivan: I will comment on amendments Nos. 2, 8, and 10. As my colleague, Deputy Brady, said on Committee Stage, Sinn Féin is totally opposed to what Fine Gael, Fianna Fáil, and now the Labour Party are proposing for the minimum wage this year. It is an insult to workers to propose a 30 cent increase in the minimum wage at some unspecified future date at the will of the Minister, which it...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (26 Nov 2019)

Maurice Quinlivan: As the Taoiseach is aware, overcrowding, especially in UHL, is beyond a joke at this stage. It is an absolute nightmare for people. Over 13,000 people have been on trolleys this year. We met recently with officials from the HSE, who told us that the MRI scanner will be in operation in UHL in mid-December. However, it is concerning that we were also told the scanner would only operate from...

Financial Challenges Facing RTÉ and its Revised Strategy 2020-2024: Statements (Resumed) (14 Nov 2019)

Maurice Quinlivan: I want to make a short contribution in the limited time available to me. This discussion has to be about whether we want a public broadcaster and that is a decision we have to make. A public broadcaster does not have to be RTÉ alone; we are all aware of local radio in our communities and local newspapers, which are struggling to keep the doors open. If we are serious about having a...

Social Welfare (No. 2) Bill 2019: Second Stage (Resumed) (13 Nov 2019)

Maurice Quinlivan: My contribution relates to the minimum wage section of the Bill, given the Minister is missing a key opportunity to raise income levels for workers. The Government's handling of the minimum wage question in this year's budget was disappointing. The total absence of information and the conflicting accounts from the Minister and the Taoiseach about what the Government was going to do on the...

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh (Atógáil) - Questions on Promised Legislation (Resumed) (7 Nov 2019)

Maurice Quinlivan: On the same matter, I want to raise the issue of University Hospital Limerick. The Minister will not be surprised to hear me saying that.

In October, 1,450 people were on trolleys, which was an average of 70 people a day. Unfortunately, 70 people are on trolleys now as we...
