An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (13 Nov 2018)

Brendan Howlin: In the third interim report of the disclosures tribunal, Mr. Justice Peter Charleton states Sergeant Maurice McCabe was "repulsively denigrated" for being no more than a good citizen and police officer. In those circumstances, the people are rightly angry and frustrated by the idea that the people's money would be used to fund former Commissioner Callinan's legal defence. When this matter...

Brendan Howlin: That the gap in other countries is worse is, the Taoiseach says, no excuse and yet he uses it as an excuse. We have a vehicle in the Bill passed by the Seanad. We can pass it here readily. The notion that we will start a new Bill with pre-legislative scrutiny in a couple of weeks' time with no prospect of enactment in the current calendar year makes a nonsense of new politics. If the...

Brendan Howlin: Perhaps the Minister for Justice and Equality will come to the House either later today or tomorrow to tease out those matters in some detail. I want to raise a different issue, namely, the gap between the earnings of men and women, which worsened from 12% in 2002 to 14% according to the most recent figures from the Central Statistics Office, CSO. That means women are working for more...

Brendan Howlin: On behalf of the Labour Party, I express our sympathy at the untimely passing of Mícheál Ó Súilleabháin, who has made an indelible mark not only on the musical heritage of this nation but on the cultural and social life of this nation. Few people leave such an impression and a legacy as Mícheál has in the academic sphere. In bringing music and our culture...

Brendan Howlin: I ask the Tánaiste to look at the Local Government (Restoration of Town Councils) Bill 2018, which was passed by a very large majority in the House and referred to the select committee. The Ceann Comhairle has determined it will require a money notice from the Government because of incidental expenses that may arise. It overcame any difficulties in terms of being a charge on the State...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí (Atógáil) - Leaders' Questions (Resumed) (8 Nov 2018)

Brendan Howlin: Many of us across the House, rightly, were up in arms about the crass remarks made about Travellers by one of the recent candidates in the presidential election, but it is not enough for us to decry negative stereotyping and hate speech. We have to take seriously the issue of Traveller margninalisation. The national Traveller and Roma inclusion strategy report states the rate of...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí (Atógáil) - Leaders' Questions (Resumed) (8 Nov 2018)

Brendan Howlin: The Ceann Comhairle might forgive me for thanking him for inviting Travellers and representative groups to the Oireachtas last night. It was a very worthwhile initiative that should be mentioned. I agree with the Tánaiste. We need to have an open conversation, not on the margins but in the centre. The statistics are truly shocking. They are not just statistics, they reflect the...
