International Women's Day: Statements (5 Mar 2024)

Imelda Munster: As we mark International Women's Day this week, I want to use my time to speak about the women in Gaza, who are living in hell on earth. Their conditions are indescribable.

What we are now witnessing is an Israeli-made...

RTÉ: Statements (28 Feb 2024)

Imelda Munster: Since the Minister's bizarre decision on Thursday to appear on "Prime Time", her actions and the resignation of Siún Ní Raghallaigh have dominated the news cycle.

Yesterday, at the media committee, she admitted she had been aware the then chair was threatening to resign, yet she went ahead with that interview. In fact,...

Imelda Munster: I raise the issue of the problems caused by the Government's policy of privatising immigration and impact it has on communities, services and people seeking international protection. Not once were public representatives, the TDs, in Drogheda contacted in advance of that contract being signed to ask for our opinions or how it would impact our town. It was only after the contract was signed...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Semi-State Bodies (15 Feb 2024)

Imelda Munster: First, I have to say that again I submitted a question to the Minister around bogus self-employment at RTÉ and once again, it was rejected. I am running out of ways to word the question in the hope that the Minister will actually answer it.

Imelda Munster: Thanks, Chair, and I would appreciate a little bit of latitude. I will start with the exit packages and address Ms Cusack, the head of HR.
