Health (Amendment) Bill 2023: Second Stage (22 Mar 2023)

Peadar Tóibín: I welcome any efforts made by the Government to reduce the costs on families in accessing healthcare. There is no doubt that health has a significant cost to many people and that it is a barrier for many people in accessing healthcare. The level of ill-health is far higher among people who live in lower socioeconomic groups, and people's life expectancy is far lower in those areas too....

Eviction Ban: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (22 Mar 2023)

Peadar Tóibín: Given that there is less than ten votes between the two sides, the gravity of this particular issue, and the fact that this amendment simply seeks to protect people with disabilities, people with very young families, older people, and people with terminal illnesses from eviction in ten days' time, under Standing Order 83(3)(b), I ask that the vote be taken by other than electronic means.

Eviction Ban: Motion [Private Members] (21 Mar 2023)

Peadar Tóibín: Aontú has found through parliamentary questions and freedom of information requests that almost 400 people have died in homelessness on the streets of Dublin in the last five years.

Finance Bill 2023: Second Stage (21 Mar 2023)
