Ruth Coppinger: Will it have a kitchen?

Planning and Development (Housing) and Residential Tenancies Bill 2016 [Seanad]: Second Stage (1 Dec 2016)

Ruth Coppinger: We have heard much about the need for this Bill to be progressed very quickly. Those of us who on the housing committee heard the Minister's arguments to speed up its passage or allow it to bypass pre-legislative scrutiny. People may have the impression that this is emergency legislation to resolve the housing crisis. I only wish it were so. The Bill has fallen way off the target of what...

Secure Rents and Tenancies Bill 2016: Second Stage [Private Members] (30 Nov 2016)

Ruth Coppinger: At a time when rents are increasing exorbitantly, and the figures have already been given, Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael in particular want us all to sit and wait for their private residential Bill that they have been discussing for a long time before we take any action. The Bill before the House has been asked for by community associations and trade unions and it has been signed by a...

Secure Rents and Tenancies Bill 2016: Second Stage [Private Members] (30 Nov 2016)

Ruth Coppinger: It is telling us it will not support rent certainty, despite it supporting the idea when it was represented on the housing committee. When it was let out into the wider sphere and its members are under the party whip, it is a different story. It is just beyond belief as we know the landlords have a major investment in this Dáil, with 20% to 25% of Deputies having that interest. I...

Topical Issue Debate: Symphysiotomy Payment Scheme (29 Nov 2016)

Ruth Coppinger: I, too, have been absolutely appalled by the media coverage and the commentary of certain people in the media in the last week in response to this report. I agree that the methods of assessment were defective. I agree with Deputy Daly on the policy of Judge Harding Clark of taking oral evidence and meeting only a handful of the women involved. If she had met more, she would have seen for...

Topical Issue Debate: Symphysiotomy Payment Scheme (29 Nov 2016)

Ruth Coppinger: There has been an attempt by the Catholic right to seize on this highly flawed report to argue against the whole question of Catholic control of maternity hospitals. There is no question that this was done and motivated by a Catholic medical theology. It is also argued very patronisingly that these women did not know the difference between a caesarean section, a symphysiotomy or anything...
