Seanad: Carbon Policy: Motion (19 May 2022)

Róisín Garvey: Based on EU planning laws, it chose to shut them down. If we are to have a debate on energy, climate and fuels, which are important, let us look at solutions.

I will be cutting turf this summer and next summer because I know the Green Party never said one could not do so. Let us talk truth...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: General Scheme of the Right to Request Remote Work Bill 2022: Discussion (Resumed) (18 May 2022)

Róisín Garvey: I thank Mr. Mulligan for coming in. This is very exciting because we have never done this before. We have had no remote working Bill or legislation of any kind. It is good coming out of the Covid-19 pandemic that it made us realise how much we can do working from home. It is really important that we bring forward legislation. There has been much work done on this. I have a few...

Róisín Garvey: It is never going to be easy to legislate on this issue because there always will be employees who might try to take the piss and there also will be employers who might just say "No" to remote working because they are control freaks. It is difficult because each employer and employee is individual and every job is individual. It is a challenge to legislate because the law applies to...

Róisín Garvey: It is interesting to listen to the debate today. It reminds me of the Bob Dylan song - Senators and congressmen, the times are changing. I know that we have all put up posters. We can say that it is all part of politics until the cows come home. However, things have to change. There are so many reasons this is a most important debate. This Bill should be supported by the House. First,...

Seanad: Regulation of Display of Electoral and Polling Posters and Other Advertisements Bill 2022: Second Stage (17 May 2022)

Róisín Garvey: That did not represent what was actually happening. I wish to make a few points. Senator Ward stated that posters do not get people elected. If they do not, then nobody here should have a problem with us restricting them. The second point is that we are not seeking to ban posters. We are seeking to limit the use of posters to designated areas, which we have seen working all over Europe....
