Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Community Employment Schemes (7 Dec 2023)

Marian Harkin: I know the Minister of State partly answered this in responding to Deputy Ó Laoghaire but I want a further update on the progress made in the claim for pay parity by Tús and RSS supervisors. This has been going on a long time and people feel they are being stonewalled. The fact there are two priority questions on it this morning gives an indication of how important we think it is.

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Community Employment Schemes (7 Dec 2023)

Marian Harkin: I thank the Minister of State. He stated there is a difference in the scope of the work being done. We recognise the work is not identical but it is broadly similar. I have spoken to a number of supervisors and there is little difference. Many workers from RSS and Tús progress onto CE schemes. A supervisor on a CE scheme after ten years gets about €42,000, while one an an RSS...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Community Employment Schemes (7 Dec 2023)

Marian Harkin: I am glad to hear the Minister of State continues in good faith but he does not want to speak about figures. I understand that but that is the reality of people’s pay packets. That is what is in their back pocket at the end of the week or month and that is why I and others are asking these questions. The Minister of State will be aware a number of successful public meetings were...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Middle East (30 Nov 2023)

Marian Harkin: I fully support the Tánaiste's statement and the wishes of the Dáil to see the humanitarian ceasefire extended, with the aim of making it permanent. I too want to extend the question a little to the issue of the EU-Israel trade agreement. I put down a question and I got a response from the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment, which tells me that this agreement between...

Marian Harkin: I thank the Tánaiste. He has answered the question that we have posed several times today. Like Deputy Haughey, I warmly welcome the release of Emily Hand and the information we have been given about the Irish citizens who have been able to leave Gaza. Will the Tánaiste clarify how many Irish citizens remain in Gaza and how many of those wish to leave, if any? I am not sure of...

Policing, Protests and Public Order: Statements (28 Nov 2023)

Marian Harkin: Last Thursday was a dark day for our capital city and our country. It was not an isolated event but the culmination of events as this State lost complete control of Dublin city for over two hours. For whatever reason, we were completely exposed and unprepared for the violent onslaught that escalated into mob rule, as gardaí, bus drivers and others were attacked, shops were looted, and...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (28 Nov 2023)

Marian Harkin: Once again, I raise the issue of the significant inequitable financial treatment under the fair deal scheme meted out to public nursing homes on the one hand and private, community and voluntary nursing homes on the other. As a result, many small, family-run, often rural nursing homes are finding themselves in real financial trouble. Last week, two former TDs, Dr. Jerry Cowley and Dr....
