Paul Gavan: I welcome the Minister. I do not really have a speech, just a few points I wanted to make to supplement what my colleague, Senator Devine, spoke about earlier. I have to mention Limerick city because each week I hold a clinic there and it is shocking to meet families who have been in homeless accommodation month after month. There are currently 111 homeless children in Limerick, living in...
- Seanad: Housing: Statements (28 Sep 2017)
Paul Gavan: The Leader is wrong when he says it is not about ideology. It actually is and I will give a couple of examples. We know Fine Gael is a right-wing party and, in fairness to the Minister, he has never had any qualms about showing his devotion to the free market in interviews. There is a problem when we have a party that always takes the side of the landlord. I can tell the Minister from...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution: Eighth Amendment of the Constitution: Constitutional Issues Arising from the Citizens Assembly Recommendations (27 Sep 2017)
Paul Gavan: I thank the three witnesses. It has been a very helpful day in terms of the advice that has been given. I was particularly struck by Ms O'Toole's reference to the 1983 amendment which I am unfortunately old enough to remember. It was in fact the first campaign in which I was involved. The eighth amendment was presented at the time as a very simple amendment that would not have...
- Seanad: Order of Business (26 Sep 2017)
Paul Gavan: I am sure that many of us heard a modern day Nazi on RTE Radio 1 this morning, spilling bile and racism. It was a fairly horrific five minutes of radio, but it made me think about what this man would think about our direct provision system.

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Atypical Work Permit Scheme: Discussion (Resumed) (21 Sep 2017)
Paul Gavan: I support the comments of the Chair. I am quite taken aback that Mr. Boyle would come in and castigate this committee. It is made up of a wide range of parties and interests. I can say with my hand on my heart, particularly in respect of the Chair but also of all of us, that we always strive to work fairly and collegially and to get our work done. I do not think Mr. Boyle does himself or...
