Road Traffic and Roads Bill 2021: Report and Final Stages (21 Sep 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: Listening to the tales of woe of people who have bought electric vehicles, bikes and cars, they seem like some very unlucky people. A number of my friends and family have had very positive experiences. I do not dispute for a moment the cost of replacing batteries and I am sure they have all broken down but it really strikes me that that is a lot of very unlucky people who may just be out of...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Dental Services (21 Sep 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: I thank the Minister of State for attending to take this debate. This issue is not unique to anyone's constituency, but I hope to hear from the Minister of State what I can tell my constituents when they ring my office. I will provide an example and call the woman involved "Mary". That is not her real name, but I am sure she does not want her name used. Mary has multiple sclerosis and...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Cost of Living Issues (15 Sep 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: The Tánaiste referenced in his remarks the public sector pay deal and the increase in the minimum wage. There is a cohort of workers not covered by either of these who are being creased by inflation. They desperately need a pay rise. The Minister and I both know, whether we say it publicly or not, that the best way for a worker to achieve a pay rise is not to wait around for the...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Employment Rights (15 Sep 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: Question No. 11 is a simple one and I am conscious this was discussed earlier. I refer to an earlier comment made by the Tánaiste in which he said that viable but vulnerable businesses need to be prevented from failing. I understand this issue was discussed already. I ask this question on behalf of Deputy Gould.

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Employment Rights (15 Sep 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: The question relates to the supports currently in place for businesses. However, I want to ask about the Tánaiste's remarks, that he wants to prevent viable but vulnerable business from failing. How will he identify those businesses and how will he ensure the supports get to the business that are struggling with their energy costs?
