Seanad: Animal Health and Welfare and Forestry (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2021: Second Stage (8 Feb 2022)

Róisín Garvey: This is another great day for the Minister of State whose portfolio includes biodiversity and land use. This Bill is so important.

Róisín Garvey: I will not need the full eight minutes. Tá an tAire Stáit ag obair go dian ar an bhfadhb seo. Is dúshlán mór é atá ann le fada an lá ach, faoi dheireadh, tá rudaí ag tarlú agus tá sé ag bogadh ar aghaidh. I thank the Minister of State for taking on this role. I know he has been working immensely hard on it. We have had...

Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Schools Building Projects (20 Jan 2022)

Róisín Garvey: I thank the Minister of State, Deputy Feighan, for coming into the Chamber today. Fortunately, we cannot shoot the messenger. The Minister of State is not the Minister for Education but I will go for it anyway. In light of what we know from the pandemic - we knew that ventilation was important way before the pandemic anyway - and the importance of ventilation for public health, I asked...

Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Schools Building Projects (20 Jan 2022)

Róisín Garvey: The Minister of State indicated there is a natural ventilation strategy for the school. Does that just mean the use of windows? An air-to-water system is what is needed. Let us not mess around with words. Gas is a fossil fuel. Let us not pretend there is such a thing as green gas because it does not exist and people use some kind of mad terminology to pretend gas is anything other than a...

Seanad: Organisation of Working Time (Reproductive Health Related Leave) Bill 2021: Committee Stage (20 Jan 2022)

Róisín Garvey: This Bill is straightforward. We would not be debating it if we had a majority of women in charge of this country. It is mad that we have to debate these things. This is a straightforward thing that we need. One in four women have a miscarriage. That means a good proportion of the women here, because we are 40% female, have had miscarriages. Many of my friends and family have...
