Patient Safety (Notifiable Patient Safety Incidents) Bill 2019: Report Stage (7 Dec 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: I thank the Leas-Cheann Comhairle for the opportunity to contribute. It is good that we are debating this Bill and that we have reached this point. It would be a shame if we did not get it right at the last minute. The question we must ask ourselves is whether the Minister's amendments will live up to what Vicky Phelan and other campaigners would have wanted to be part of the legislation....

Patient Safety (Notifiable Patient Safety Incidents) Bill 2019: Report Stage (7 Dec 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: Speaking as someone who uses the service, I want to know as a right where there are issues. The Minister might clarify, but my understanding is that, if the anonymous programmatic audit he mentioned had been in place in 2014, Lorraine Walsh, Vicky Phelan and all the others would not have been informed of the discordant slides. We need to remember that this situation came about through...

Work Life Balance and Miscellaneous Provisions Bill 2022: Instruction to Committee (7 Dec 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: Should we wait a moment and call them?

Work Life Balance and Miscellaneous Provisions Bill 2022: Instruction to Committee (7 Dec 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: We cannot call them in that case.

Work Life Balance and Miscellaneous Provisions Bill 2022: Instruction to Committee (7 Dec 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: I thank the Leas-Cheann Comhairle for the opportunity to say a few words. Let us be honest: this debate would not have come about if Sinn Féin had not sought it. It is a pretty sad state of affairs that we had to request a debate on this matter, and on the broader issue of what is being done with this Bill. An amendment is being inserted into the Work Life Balance and Miscellaneous...

Teacher Shortages: Motion [Private Members] (7 Dec 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: I thank the Deputies for bringing forward this very timely, and as my colleague has alluded to, very well put together motion. Before I came in, I spoke to the principal of a primary school and she told me that the reality is that they cannot teach children without teachers yet teachers are being exported daily. She told me that without substitute teachers being available, she is constantly...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: EU Legislative Proposal on Corporate Sustainability and Due Diligence: Discussion (7 Dec 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: I have one question for each delegation starting with the institute. We will have heard from the negotiations that the Minister of State, Deputy Calleary, protected or attempted to protect many aspects of this law from being watered down, which is the opposite to the role that we played in the run up to this. I commend the Minister of State on that even though his efforts were somewhat in...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: EU Legislative Proposal on Corporate Sustainability and Due Diligence: Discussion (7 Dec 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: Who does the Law Society believe the competent authority will be and, more importantly, who does the Law Society think it should be? Should the oversight be annexed into an existing agency? Will it be necessary to establish a stand-alone agency? I am not asking Mr. Linehan to appoint someone here but does he have a view on the best place for the authority to be situated?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: EU Legislative Proposal on Corporate Sustainability and Due Diligence: Discussion (7 Dec 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: That is the concern. It may be an entirely separate entity that starts from scratch and is built up. That may be the way it has to go but unless it is properly resourced, it will be all complaints coming in and no results going out. It would be difficult for any existing agency to take on that workload without considerable investment in personnel, resources, education and training and...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: EU Legislative Proposal on Corporate Sustainability and Due Diligence: Discussion (7 Dec 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: I thank the witnesses. First, I wish to apologise as I will have to leave shortly to avail of a speaking slot in the Dáil Chamber but I will catch up by reading the transcript afterwards. I have read both of the statements and listened to them. Ms Spillane outlined in her statement that environmental, sustainability and corporate governance is not just about targets and legislation...

Building Defects: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (6 Dec 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: I welcome the people in the Gallery. I understand it is not easy for them to sit here this evening and hear their homes, lives and futures debated in this way. It is important we are having this debate but it cannot be easy for them to have to listen to this. They are all very welcome, as is everyone who is watching. I commend the work of the representative groups from the Construction...

Gambling Regulation Bill 2022: Second Stage (6 Dec 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: I acknowledge the work of the Minister of State on the Bill. I congratulate him on bringing it to this Stage and fulfilling a commitment he made. I also thank my colleague, an Teachta Gould, and his team for all their work on this issue. Sinn Féin is happy to support the progress of the Bill to Committee Stage. We support the efforts in respect of the regulation of gambling. If...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (6 Dec 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: I recently met with residents who are living near Dublin Airport. They tell me that Dublin Airport is in breach of its planning permission and that residents who have never before been under the flight path are now experiencing noisy, low-flying planes daily. In the run-up to the building of the new runway, clear sites were identified that would be in the flight path and there was...
