Sick Leave Bill 2022: Second Stage (7 Apr 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: I apologise to the Tánaiste that I will not be able to stay in the Chamber for the full debate. I have another meeting to go to. I will look back over the Official Report. Sinn Féin supports a statutory sick pay scheme. I do not think that will come as a surprise to anybody. We have argued for this for quite a long time now. The fact the Government is moving on it in any small...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Trade Unions (7 Apr 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: I think the best way to do it is to create the conditions for workers to organise. That involves recognition and protection for those who are seeking to bargain collectively on behalf of their members. I have stated previously that the best way for any worker to secure a pay rise is not just to join a trade union, but to be active in his or her trade union. Is it the Tánaiste's...

Louise O'Reilly: 3. To ask the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment his views on collective bargaining rights for trade unions in order to secure better pay and conditions for workers in view of his comments earlier in 2022 that workers deserve a pay rise. [18638/22]

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Trade Unions (7 Apr 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: This question is fairly straightforward. There are what could be called mixed messages from the Government. On the one hand, the Tánaiste himself is saying that workers need a pay rise but, on the other, the Head of Government is preaching wage restraint. What is the Tánaiste's view on collective bargaining rights for trade unions to allow them to secure better pay and conditions...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Trade Unions (7 Apr 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: Along with members of Viktor Orbán's Government in Hungary, the Austrian Government and a few others, the Tánaiste is a co-signatory to a letter to the Commission seeking to water down the provisions of a draft directive aimed at ensuring that at least 70% of workers are covered by collective bargaining agreements.

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Trade Agreements (7 Apr 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: The question is fairly straightforward. It is similar to a question I put to the Tánaiste on 30 July when I asked whether the State has a trade-at-any-cost position. I ask the Tánaiste for an update on the policy of the Department with regard to trade agreements and trade missions to countries that have been found in gross violation of human rights.

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Trade Agreements (7 Apr 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: I thank the Tánaiste. On 30 July the Tánaiste told me the Department pursues free trade and open market policies but these policies are subordinate to Ireland's responsibility to prevent the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, to promote regional stability and to promote and protect human rights. It is similar to the response the Tánaiste has given now. It outlines...

Louise O'Reilly: I do not know that I would draw the same equivalence between Saudi Arabia and the United States as the Tánaiste has done. That is fair enough; that is his opinion. I am referring to what Amnesty described as acts that are protected by the rights to freedom of expression, peaceful assembly and association, in other words gross violation of human rights. I refer specifically to the...
