Ceisteanna - Questions: Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (27 Nov 2018)

Brendan Howlin: I agree with Deputy Martin. It is remarkable that what is widely regarded by the UN as the greatest humanitarian crisis of our time was not a matter of focus. In many ways, this is a forgotten, if not ignored, war. It is a proxy war between Saudi Arabia and Iran, which is being fought at a the cost of the people of Yemen. We see heart-wrenching images of children dying of malnutrition in...

Ceisteanna - Questions: National Digital Strategy (27 Nov 2018)

Brendan Howlin: Any digital strategy that is truly national must envisage access to high-speed broadband for every citizen wherever he or she lives. This is axiomatic. Clearly, there is a real difficulty for the vindication of true equality and there is a real danger of a digital divide. How does the Taoiseach propose to address this issue? There is another issue, which is that one in six adults in...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (27 Nov 2018)

Brendan Howlin: It would be surprising if, when visiting the Border, any politician did not involve himself or herself in dialogues on Brexit. The Taoiseach said he did so with a variety of groups. Did he meet any representatives of workers, specifically unions organised on an all-island basis, to discuss their understanding of the implications of Brexit? Did the Taoiseach discuss the implications of a...

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (27 Nov 2018)

Brendan Howlin: Tackling homelessness and dealing with the housing crisis is the stated priority of the Government and the House. A raft of legislation has been promised to deal with these issues, but where is it? The Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government promised to ensure the Bill to deal with short-term lettings would be enacted before Christmas. We have yet to see the publication of the...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (27 Nov 2018)

Brendan Howlin: I support the request for a full debate and I ask that the Business Committee structure it in such a way as to allow for questions at the end. I have not had an opportunity to read the report, although it has been spun for the past week. It is important we have a chance to not only read it but take advice on it, so I would not be averse to tabling a significant debate next week rather than...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (27 Nov 2018)

Brendan Howlin: I have suggested next week in as much as we need time to take advice on the matter. I have no difficulty with a Friday sitting but there will be many Members who will not be here on Friday. I would prefer to have a full House and Ministers available to answer questions as part of a normal sitting, rather than treating this as if it were not normal business.

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (27 Nov 2018)

Brendan Howlin: I welcome the Taoiseach's response and I thank him for it but he and I both know that the current position where women suffering from the same form of cervical cancer are treated differently is not sustainable. It is only a matter of time before they or their legal representatives will go into the court to demand that the constitutional requirement for equal treatment be vindicated. Will...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (27 Nov 2018)

Brendan Howlin: The cancer treatment drug pembrolizumab, Pembro, has received much public attention because of the Government's decision to make it available to survivors of the CervicalCheck scandal, the 221 group, people like Vicky Phelan. Vicky Phelan has spoken publicly about how pembrolizumab has had a significant effect onher tumours and has given her a much better quality of life. The drug has been...
