Seanad: Peat Harvesting: Statements (13 Oct 2021)

Róisín Garvey: It is a tricky issue. As a child, I was reared while going the bog, footing turf and having great craic in the bog every year. It is what we all did in rural Ireland. The only thing I ever regarded as having to do with re-wetting bogs was when the turf did not get home in time and the sods got wet again.That was some years ago now. We are where we are, however, and it is a very different...

Róisín Garvey: Dia dhaoibh. Níl ach ceist amháin agam. Maidir leis an liosta sin, dúirt an Chomh-aireacht go n-aontaíonn sí leis an liosta sin o mhí Iúil 2019.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection: National Action Plan on the Development of the Islands: Department of Rural and Community Development (13 Oct 2021)

Róisín Garvey: Tá an liosta soiléir ansin agus níl mé ag cur ceisteanna air. It is obvious from the list in front of us that the Cabinet has agreed to it, which is brilliant but this was in July 2019 and we have had Covid-19 in the meantime. How can we best, as a committee, help the Department to expedite this because we heard from the islanders last week and they seem to be seriously...

Seanad: Budget 2022: Statements (12 Oct 2021)

Róisín Garvey: Cuirim fáilte roimh an Aire Stáit go dtí an Teach. Doing a national budget is very difficult, especially coming out of a Covid pandemic. Despite all we have been through, I feel positive and hopeful about this budget. That is what people need to hear at this time. Is maith an t-iománaí an fear ar an gclaí. The hurler on the ditch has the easy job but we were...

Seanad: Registration of Wills Bill 2021: Second Stage (6 Oct 2021)

Róisín Garvey: I thank Senator Boyhan for his work on this Bill. It seems like the work was done before and, sometimes, we must resurrect Bills. I am working on a Bill that was brought through back in 2008. If we can get this Bill through in nine months' time we will be doing great. I support the Bill but I support the amendment too. A will is a legal document. We often pass Bills about things that...

Seanad: Dyslexia Awareness Week: Statements (6 Oct 2021)

Róisín Garvey: Cuirim fáilte roimh an Aire Stáit. It is great that we have set aside time in the Chamber to discuss this very important issue, and I appreciate the Minister of State giving it the time. By definition, dyslexia is a general term for difficulty in learning to read or interpret words, letters or other symbols but it does not affect general intelligence, and it is important to make...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Four-Day Working Week: Discussion (6 Oct 2021)

Róisín Garvey: The discussion is very interesting. There has been a swift change because all of a sudden we have gone from having no remote working to having a discussion on a four-day week. The work that the organisations are doing on this matter is great. It is important that the work is done well and that there is no narrative about two sides. It is unhelpful to the discussion for Senator Gavan to...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Four-Day Working Week: Discussion (6 Oct 2021)

Róisín Garvey: I am very clear on that. I am just pointing out what stage we are at. As a country, we are only working on legislation on remote working. That is my point. I would love a four-day week myself; who would not? I am just highlighting the reality of where we are as a State.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection: National Action Plan on the Development of the Islands: Discussion (6 Oct 2021)

Róisín Garvey: I just got kicked out of the system for a moment but tá mé ar ais. Tá brón orm. Tá náire orm nach raibh siad compordach Gaeilge a labhairt sa choiste. Tá céad míle fáilte rompu Gaeilge a labhairt sa choiste seo. Mura bhfuil daoine in ann í a thuiscint, is é a bhfadhb é agus níl sé sin fadhb na bhfinnéithe....
