Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection: Pre-Budget Submissions: Discussion with the Society of St. Vincent de Paul and Family Carers Ireland (5 May 2021)

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: I have a couple of questions, one of which is for Family Carers Ireland. We have mentioned the lifetime family carer's pension.

Does the society have any research or evidence on the energy ratings of the houses of the people we are talking about?...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: School Bullying and its Impact on Mental Health: Discussion (4 May 2021)

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: I confirm that I am on the grounds of Leinster House. I am late on in the debate so a lot of the ground has been covered already. I draw attention to what Ms O'Malley said about compassion. That is central to all of this. Dr. Hayes referred to labelling. We have to at all times be conscious of our language. When we talk about this, we should talk about bullying behaviour. We should...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: School Bullying and its Impact on Mental Health: Discussion (4 May 2021)

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: I want to raise what I see as the elephant in the room. I had a cursory look at the excellent Walk Tall programme that has been implemented in primary schools, comprising 68 lessons across 11 units. However, there is only a half an hour per week set aside for the SPHE curriculum. When and how will the Walk Tall programme be covered? If CBT is to be included, which I am very interested in,...

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: I thank the Minister for coming in to take this question. I also welcome the fact that he is going to meet with us on 11 May. That is very welcome.

Deputy Shanahan has outlined the additional travel time involved in travelling in from, for example, the Smalls and the...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Fishery Harbour Centres (29 Apr 2021)

Climate Action and Low Carbon Development (Amendment) Bill 2021: Second Stage (Resumed) (29 Apr 2021)

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: I will begin with a short history of climate in numbers. When I was born, the carbon dioxide in the earth's atmosphere was 333 parts per million, ppm, which is above pre-industrial levels but consistent with a relatively constant global temperature. When I went to college, the figure stood at 360 ppm. On the day of my wedding, the concentration was 385 ppm. When my first child was born,...

Direct Provision: Statements (22 Apr 2021)

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: I add my voice to those who welcomed the recent publication of the White Paper to end direct provision and to establish a new international protection support service, a move long overdue and widely anticipated by people who have lived, and still live, in the direct provision system.
