Martin Conway: I intend to be more brief than my colleague and I agree with everything that he said. I want to commend the Minister of State for a very comprehensive speech which outlined exactly where we are. It troubles me that some of these Islamic countries are using our constitutional provision to defend their position. I saw a programme on BBC two years ago which convinced me that we needed to do...

Seanad: Commencement Matters: State Pensions Reform (11 Jul 2018)

Martin Conway: I apologise for being slightly late. I have come directly from a meeting of the Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice and Equality. I welcome the Minister of State, Deputy Jim Daly, to the House. I raise this Commencement matter because there is an inequity in the system. Pay restoration is a fundamental principle across society, whether in the private or public sector. Many members of...

Seanad: Commencement Matters: State Pensions Reform (11 Jul 2018)

Martin Conway: I suspected that this probably would be the answer. I will advise my client to feed into the review. It is an issue the House will address again in September because there is an inequity in this area. Perhaps we will need to do more research to be able to articulate the inequity a little more. I encourage everybody following proceedings who has an interest in this issue to feed into the...

I am delighted that one of the...

Seanad: Traveller Culture and History in Education Bill 2018: Second Stage (Resumed) (11 Jul 2018)

Martin Conway: In welcoming the Minister to the House, I acknowledge and welcome Senator Kelleher's Bill. The Senator should not have to introduce legislation to have the proposed measure implemented. It should already be in place as a structure for doing so is in place in the education system. If the Minister and his officials were so inclined, they could issue a directive requiring that this subject...
