Louise O'Reilly: I thank our guests and thank my colleague Deputy Ward, who has facilitated my having some time to speak. To be clear, we are not here to discuss the Government legislation. I have not seen the amendments yet, in any event. We are here to discuss what is substantially the only piece of legislation that exists that will achieve the aim. I do not think there is any disagreement from anyone...

Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth: Organisation of Working Time (Domestic Violence Leave) Bill 2020: Discussion (Resumed) (18 Oct 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: I agree and that is why it is not contained within the legislation sponsored by myself and our party president, Deputy McDonald.

We are talking about slashing the ten days to five because of an announcement made by Government but...

Louise O'Reilly: The Department would see that as applying to the civil and public service as equally as to the private sector.

If the statutory minimum – I understand what that is and how that works – comes in at five days, there is slightly more than a convention within the civil and public service that there would not...

Work Life Balance and Miscellaneous Provisions Bill 2022: Second Stage (12 Oct 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: I thank the Cathaoirleach Gníomhach for the opportunity to speak this evening. A lot of what is in this Bill would not be before us and we would not be debating it if not for the fact that the Government has been compelled by the EU directive on work-life balance. Some of the changes are welcome but we must note that the Government has a lot of flexibility in how it is going to...

I thank the Deputies for bringing it forward and giving us the opportunity to have this important...

Louise O'Reilly: The 33A, 33B and 102 routes are vital links in my constituency, linking Malahide to the airport, Malahide to Swords and Skerries to Swords. People rely on these services but they have been left at the side of the road. They have a choice at that point - to miss their hospital appointments or be late for work or to get into their cars and drive. If something is not done about this, we will...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Bus Services (12 Oct 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: The level of service that is provided by Go-Ahead for the people I represent in north County Dublin is nothing short of disgraceful. Buses are being cancelled at the very last minute and no explanation is being sent to passengers. This means people are missing appointments and they are late for work and late for school. It is happening constantly. We have contacted Go-Ahead I do not know...
