Joint Oireachtas Committee on Gender Equality: Recommendations of the Citizens’ Assembly on Gender Equality: Discussion (Resumed) (5 May 2022)

Ivana Bacik: I thank Dr. Brennan. Again, many of the issues she raised touched on the themes we discussed earlier with the Minister, Deputy Harris. It is very useful and valuable to us to hear what initiatives are being taken at third level, both in the technological university and university sectors, to advance gender equality and equality more broadly. I invite committee members to put questions to...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (4 May 2022)

Ivana Bacik: The Northern Ireland Assembly elections will take place on Thursday. I had the pleasure of canvassing on Saturday in Belfast South with Matthew O'Toole and Elsie Trainor of the SDLP, along with Claire Hanna, the MP there. The concerns that so many people share in the North are about what will happen after the election takes place and, in particular, what approach the DUP, which is likely to...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (4 May 2022)

Ivana Bacik: I thank the Taoiseach for reporting on his engagements with the President of the US. I commend him on his strong words condemning the recent Russian video purporting to show a nuclear attack on Ireland. I am conscious, as we all are, that the war in Ukraine was a significant backdrop to the Taoiseach's visit to the US and was the subject of many of his engagements. I also note his...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (4 May 2022)

Ivana Bacik: The homelessness figures published on Friday showed an increase of 23% in the past year. These are alarming figures. We know a major cause of homelessness is the lack of protection for renters against evictions and simply a lack of supply of sufficient homes for rental. In my constituency of Dublin Bay South, we have a particularly high proportion of households and individuals who are...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (4 May 2022)

Ivana Bacik: I am conscious we have had an exchange on the national maternity hospital issue, but the key question is why we do not see it moving into public ownership if it is, indeed, to be in public ownership in all but name, given the 299-year lease. That question has not been satisfactorily answered. Might we amend the Order of Business to take some time to tease out that question and debate why we...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (4 May 2022)

Ivana Bacik: All of us want decent, proper, effective healthcare for women, and particularly for women requiring access to reproductive healthcare, maternity care and gynaecological care. I am not questioning anyone's bona fides and I do not think it is helpful to do so but legitimate concerns remain around ownership, governance and control. Positive changes have been made over the years, largely as a...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (4 May 2022)

Ivana Bacik: We are all very conscious of the legacy of our schools and hospitals that have been funded by the State but remain in the ownership of religious orders or their successor or proxy companies. We are all very conscious of that. We need to do better with the new national maternity hospital and with the €1 billion of public money that is to be put into it. We need to ensure women, and...
