Pauline O'Reilly: I thank the staff because there are a number of amendments replacing the one amendment I had in respect of this matter on Committee Stage. The matter was raised by some paper cup manufacturers, but we all saw it as a committee. All of us present attend the climate action committee and we know people can be encouraged to use cheap plastic alternatives that are effectively single-use items,...

Pauline O'Reilly: As Senator Boylan has said, in the committee we discussed obsolescence and other issues around large items, electronic devices and white goods. The recommendation was for the Minister of State and the Department to investigate the matter. I will be keen to hear what investigation was done in that regard. I remember looking around IKEA, a large store, several years ago and there were...

- Seanad: Higher Education Authority Bill 2022: Committee Stage (Resumed) (6 Jul 2022)
Pauline O'Reilly: I just wished to come in on the point Senator Mullen raised because it is recognised as a valid point. Section 61(4)(d) reads "students or the students’ unions of the institution". My reading of this is that it means students of the institution. It cannot just be random students but must be the students of the institution as a whole. It would be worth checking that out because it...

Pauline O'Reilly: I will speak briefly because, as Senator Ruane outlined, this is more about getting things on record. I certainly agree with that. It is unfortunate that my amendment was ruled out of order. I know we are not dealing with that section now, but Senator Dooley's comments make my contribution relevant at this point. In the hierarchy of waste management, recycling and composting are down the...

- Seanad: Electoral Reform Bill 2022: Committee Stage (30 Jun 2022)
Pauline O'Reilly: I am an advocate for having the vote at 16. I am on the record as saying that. The Minister of State is on the record as having said that. Having the vote at 16 years old has been a long-term Green Party policy. We have probably been on the record for a couple of decades in relation to this issue. We have members who are 16. They write policies for us, yet they cannot even get to vote...
