Nature Restoration Law and Irish Agriculture: Statements (31 May 2023)

Réada Cronin: ...to mind their language. In the past week, the rhetoric around rewetting in particular has been extreme and divisive. Rewetting is not flooding but who could blame any farmer who is busy on her land from thinking she is going to need a canoe if her farm neighbours Coillte land or Bord na Móna land. I note too the talk just yesterday about culling the national herd, as if anybody,...

Consultative Forum on International Security Policy: Statements (18 May 2023)

Réada Cronin: .... This week also marks the anniversary of the ratification of the Sykes-Picot agreement and all that this signalled for the Middle East, with European colonial powers drawing straight lines across lands that were not theirs. This still has an impact on the Middle East right to this day. All the while, Russia’s criminal war on Ukraine rages on the eastern border of our Union of...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (18 Apr 2023)

Réada Cronin: ...who now works in the private sector was a member of our Defence Forces. He tells me he feels totally undefended by this Government. Following a notice to quit, he feels that he is in no-man's land, abandoned by the State of the uniform he wore. His wife works in homeless services. After they both took on every scrap of overtime they could to make rent after an illegal 50% rent hike,...

Environmental Protection Agency (Emergency Electricity Generation) (Amendment) Bill 2023: Second Stage (7 Mar 2023)

Réada Cronin: ...households, has a two-year backlog. It is not just cold houses for people who are not well off under this Government. It is also damp houses, with mould on the walls and windows, and massive energy bills landing on their hall mats. Energy poverty is rampant under this Government and I do not understand why we are not looking at photovoltaic, PV, panels, which are an absolute no-brainer....

Forestry Strategy: Statements (26 Jan 2023)

Réada Cronin: ...Carthy raised here on Tuesday. It is not often that I am speechless but I was glad I had a couple of days before I got to speak on this issue. The proposal by Coillte to sell 12,000 hectares of land to Gresham House, which is a foreign private investment firm, is inexplicable, cheap and trashy. I believe the revulsion at this plan is widely felt across the House and that the outright...

COP27: Statements (29 Nov 2022)

Réada Cronin: ...in a far-off country. The impacts of climate change are coming home to us in Europe. There is more torrential rain, warmer oceans and hurricanes coming further north all the time. There are more landslides, wildfires, droughts, heatwaves and flash flooding, and agricultural land is being rendered useless or damaged. Last year there were killer floods in France, Belgium and Germany....

Réada Cronin: I am very happy to speak on Second Stage of this Bill about the future of our land and the people who create the politics in it. I commend Deputy Pringle on giving us an opportunity to speak on it this evening. I did not read his piece on thejournal.ieso I will not be able to give him any notes - good, bad or indifferent. As far as Sinn Féin is concerned, our young people should have...

LGBTQI+ and Equality: Statements (23 Jun 2022)

Réada Cronin: ...and sisters, our aunties and uncles, our friends and neighbours, our political comrades and our political rivals. As we descended on the polling stations and as all the home-to-vote aeroplanes landed - I know they meant so much to our LGBTQI+ community - they were all itching to tick the "Tá" box on the voting paper. We had the sense that we were making history. That "Yes"...

National Maternity Services: Motion [Private Members] (17 May 2022)

Réada Cronin: ...a desperate disappointment this cynical Government is for the women of this State and what a desperate disappointment it is for anyone who is interested in public healthcare. The ownership of this land for our new national maternity hospital was there within our grasp but this disappointing and cynical Government did not fight for it. Now we hear the chair of the St. Vincent's Healthcare...

Accommodation Needs of Those Fleeing Ukraine: Statements (5 May 2022)

Réada Cronin: It goes without saying that we welcome the people fleeing war and terror in Ukraine with open arms. Putin's army has invaded a sovereign land and is murdering and terrorising a sovereign people.

We are happy and willing to work with the...

Réada Cronin: ...the chill during the winter months, but now families where two people are working are worried about putting on the heat when they come home from work because either a heart attack bill has already landed in the hall or they are afraid there is one in the post. The Government has literally made the State a cold house for its people. The hardship makes our Bill all the more relevant at...

Carbon Budget: Motion (6 Apr 2022)

Réada Cronin: ...taken hold. You could be accused of treason for mentioning we should have a moratorium on data centres. While we have workers sleeping in tents, there is a multimillion euro property development on land not too far from here that is going to be underwater in around eight to ten years, based on the current emissions trajectory. That is not just going to happen in Dublin but in many...
