Peadar Tóibín: Maidir leis an gceist roimhe seo, tá súil agam go mbeidh an próiseas críochnaithe faoi mhí Mheán Fómhair ar aon nós. I wish to raise the issue of circuses. Circuses have been unfairly treated by the Department and the Arts Council. In practical terms, circuses have been singled out with regard to the lack of funding being given to them over the...

Criminal Justice (Amendment) Bill 2021: Second Stage (28 Apr 2021)

Peadar Tóibín: -----including hearing confession, is deemed to be a criminal offence. Therefore, the Dáil has been bypassed as a matter of routine. That is wrong. I ask the Government to ensure that in developing restrictions, the law in general and the criminal law in the weeks to come, it desist from criminalising these two aspects of practice within Irish society. It is really important that we...

Criminal Justice (Amendment) Bill 2021: Second Stage (28 Apr 2021)

Peadar Tóibín: I want to focus on the issue of sexual violence. 6 o’clock Figures I obtained recently show a shocking increase in the level of sexual violence in Ireland in recent years. While the figures were down marginally in 2020 because of Covid-19, between 2016 and 2019 there was a massive increase. The Central Statistics Office, CSO, recorded 2,520 sexual offences in 2016. That figure...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (28 Apr 2021)

Peadar Tóibín: Today, I received information that from last June to this February 2,600 people caught Covid in hospital settings in the State. Given that is roughly half the length of time of the illness the real figure is way higher than this. It is an incredible situation because hospitals should be the location of cure and protection but in reality for many people they were the place where they caught...

Peadar Tóibín: Twenty-five months ago, baby Christopher's life was ended by individuals within the National Maternity Hospital in an alleged illegal abortion. Christopher was a fully healthy boy and his parents are heartbroken. A large number of elements of the law were broken, not least that a senior practitioner signed off on the abortion but never met or examined the mother. The family has met two...

Road Traffic (Amendment) Bill 2021: First Stage (28 Apr 2021)

Peadar Tóibín: I move: That leave be granted to introduce a Bill entitled an Act to amend the Road Traffic Act 1961 to provide for dual language road signs and related matters. In many ways, the Irish Government sees the Irish language as an ornamental addition to brand Ireland. It is the cúpla focal here and there to pepper speeches, photographs to be posed for and a language for a few hours in class...
