Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters: Implementation of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities: Discussion (7 Apr 2022)

Holly Cairns: I thank all of the witnesses for attending. The United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities obliges the State to closely consult with and actively involve disabled people, including children with disabilities, through their representative organisations. This is an incredibly important provision and one that very clearly the Irish State is not adhering to. The...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Island Communities (5 Apr 2022)

Holly Cairns: The issue for people on the islands is that while the Government says it plans to progress vital infrastructure development for island communities, they believe the reality is different.

The Department provided funding for a public service...

Holly Cairns: The Government's rural development policy for 2021 to 2025 commits to progressing vital infrastructure development for island communities. However, the Dursey Island situation tells a different story. Only after weeks of sustained pressure did the Department commit to provide a public replacement to the cable car during its temporary closure. The people of west Cork are rightly worried...

Electoral Reform Bill 2022: Second Stage (5 Apr 2022)

Holly Cairns: Any electoral reform is welcome. This reform is long overdue. We are all aware of issues around voter registration, the inaccuracies of the register of electors and poor voter education. Our republic is founded on the sovereignty of the Irish people, but this can be only realised through an electoral system that proactively enables participation, fostering understanding of elections and...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (5 Apr 2022)

Holly Cairns: There is an appalling disparity in the Government's allocation of our national mackerel quota. Only 2% is assigned to all vessels under 15 m, while 98% is given to a few much larger boats. Inshore fishers make up the majority of the fishing sector and they engage in the most sustainable type of fishing which has been practised in our island and coastal communities for centuries, yet they...
