Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (19 Oct 2022)

Ivana Bacik: I raise the terrible situation for women and girls in Iran. For nearly five weeks now, the Iranian regime has been using particularly brutal violence against its own citizens following the brutal killing of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini on 16 September by the so-called morality police. We have seen the start of a new episode in a long and dark chapter of Iran's history. We have seen hundreds of...

Domestic Electricity and Gas Disconnections: Motion [Private Members] (18 Oct 2022)

Ivana Bacik: Labour welcomes this motion and I commend Deputy O’Rourke and his colleagues on bringing it forward. The principle is irrefutable: no one should be left unable to heat their home or run their fridge or other appliances because they cannot afford to pay. If there is consensus on that matter as we enter into this bleak winter ahead, then the Government has the task of examining every...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (18 Oct 2022)

Ivana Bacik: It is welcome to hear the Taoiseach had constructive meetings yesterday.

Ceisteanna - Questions: Social Dialogue (18 Oct 2022)

Ivana Bacik: Last week, the Dáil debated the Work Life Balance and Miscellaneous Provisions Bill 2022. It is welcome that it will be amended to provide for domestic violence leave, but the Labour Party is asking that it also be amended to provide for reproductive health-related leave. We introduced a Bill in the Seanad last year which would provide for paid leave of up to 20 days for women who...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Economic Policy (18 Oct 2022)

Ivana Bacik: Earlier today, I raised with the Taoiseach the plight of owners in the Carrickmines Green development. Returning to that subject, when is it planned to introduce the redress scheme for homeowners? I think the Taoiseach said it would be done before Christmas. Does this mean that we will not see provision being made for such a scheme in the Finance Bill, which is to be introduced on...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (18 Oct 2022)

Ivana Bacik: I wish to raise the plight of householders in the Carrickmines multi-unit development in south County Dublin. As we know, after the financial crash the National Asset Management Agency, NAMA, took over the estate and became the developer through its appointed receiver. A range of defects became apparent in the development and while some remedial works were carried out, in 2017 the owners'...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (18 Oct 2022)

Ivana Bacik: It is welcome to hear more detail of the proposed Bill. We will work with the Government, as will all in the Opposition, to ensure it is passed as soon as possible to see protections for those renting through the winter. Will the Taoiseach also commit to introducing stronger legislative backing for the tenant in situscheme? The problems are the red tape, the inconsistency and the fact that...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (18 Oct 2022)

Ivana Bacik: We welcome the Government's U-turn on the winter eviction ban and the announcement earlier. It represents a real change since Thursday when I questioned the Tánaiste on it then. His response was rather lukewarm on the prospect of a temporary eviction ban. We welcome it but we have to remember that for nearly 11,000 individuals and 3,220 children who are homeless and without a secure...
