Trade Union Representation (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2018: Second Stage [Private Members] (8 Oct 2020)

Louise O'Reilly: My father was a full time trade union organiser and led a very strong union in this State. My grandmother was a shop steward with the Irish Women Worker's Union and my grandfather was a shop steward with the Irish Transport and General Workers' Union, ITGWU.

Trade Union Representation (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2018: Second Stage [Private Members] (8 Oct 2020)

Louise O'Reilly: I thank Deputies for tabling this motion. I read in a newspaper this morning, as I am sure the Minister did, that some of her colleagues are anxious to get rid of the image of Fine Gael as being the nasty party and she has the opportunity to do so here. The cut to the PUP, coming as it did at a time when advisers were being appointed to Government and some Deputies, although not me or my...

Covid-19 Pandemic Unemployment Payment: Motion [Private Members] (7 Oct 2020)

Louise O'Reilly: I am looking at a list that was sent by our Whip's office.

That is the list and I think that is where the confusion is coming from. That came from our Whip's office.
