- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (20 Mar 2025)
Ivana Bacik: I welcome the Tánaiste's words on the occupied territories Bill. There is a sense, however, that the Government is rowing back on the Bill and seeking to dilute it in some way. It was published some time ago. Indeed, we supported Senator Black in the Seanad. I co-sponsored it with her when I was a Senator. It has achieved such cross-party support. I commend Senator Black and all...

- Ceisteanna - Questions: Commemorative Events (19 Mar 2025)
Ivana Bacik: I welcome the Taoiseach's recent attendance at the commemoration ceremony for the liberation of Auschwitz. It is particularly important as we see a rise in fascism and authoritarianism worldwide and a terrible rise in antisemitism. It is very important that the Taoiseach attended to represent Ireland. I always attend the commemoration in the Mansion House on national Holocaust memorial day...
- Ceisteanna - Questions: Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (19 Mar 2025)
Ivana Bacik: I note that the Taoiseach said the focus of the informal meeting of EU leaders was on security. Clearly, there is a huge threat to European democracy as we see increasing authoritarianism, both from Trump's Government in the US and much closer to home from the threat of Russia on Europe's borders and the threat of the Russian dictator, Putin, and his regime in particular. It is very...

- Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (19 Mar 2025)
Ivana Bacik: The latest warning today from the World Meteorological Organization is stark. We know that human-induced climate change has reached new extremes and some consequences are, sadly, now irreversible. The Government is simply not being proactive enough to meet our essential targets for emission reductions. On "Morning Ireland" today, Peter Thorne, chair of the Climate Change Advisory Council,...

- An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (19 Mar 2025)
Ivana Bacik: It is deeply distressing to see the resumption of Israel's brutal bombardment on the people of Gaza and horrific to hear Netanyahu describe Israeli airstrikes as "only the beginning". We have already seen horrific levels of deaths of civilians, including children, and what little hope was left for the population of Gaza seems to be gone, with barely any aid reaching civilians. Our moral...

Ivana Bacik: Many of us in opposition are very concerned to hear the Government suggesting that we are somehow delaying the formation of committees.
- An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (19 Mar 2025)
Ivana Bacik: It is the Government that is seeking to change Standing Orders. The Ceann Comhairle ruled on the Lowry lads’ status to the effect that they are not a technical group in opposition. We in opposition are abiding by that ruling of the Ceann Comhairle. The Government is seeking to change it. It is looking to bring in changes to Standing Orders that we have not seen. Our Whips have not...

Ivana Bacik: The Taoiseach says he is open to new ideas on housing but every time anyone in opposition raises a new idea with him he never misses an opportunity to denigrate it and belittle it.
