Pay Inequality in the Public Service: Statements (24 May 2018)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I will continue in the same vein as Deputy Cullinane. There is no excuse at this stage for any further delay in addressing a wrong. Unequal pay for equal work is wrong and it needs to be stopped. We need to compensate or address the anomalies that have been caused since 2011, to ensure people's pensions are not impacted because of cuts to their entrance wage or to their increments. We are...

Judicial Appointments Commission Bill 2017: Report Stage (Resumed) (22 May 2018)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I have not spoken against Deputy Wallace's proposals and, if others had listened earlier, they would know I said I was mindful of the points he made. When I came in, Deputy O'Callaghan was on his feet and I heard the elitism he was talking about, in that we had to have people who were practising lawyers and so on. They are no different to the rest of us.

Judicial Appointments Commission Bill 2017: Report Stage (Resumed) (22 May 2018)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: He did. If he goes back to his presentation, he will see it was as if those in the legal profession are above the rest of us. He needs to be very careful in presenting the legal profession as above us. It is no different to any other profession in society. In this day and age, given the openness and transparency we are trying to create in our society, we need to try to ensure judges are...

Judicial Appointments Commission Bill 2017: Report Stage (Resumed) (22 May 2018)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I will not necessarily go into it here. It is not just about anti-republicanism and judges falling asleep on the Bench or a history of abuse to some of the people before them in that court. It is also in other courts. This commission will not necessarily deal with that, but the advantage of having laypeople involved is that at least they come with a different view of the world. We, in...

Palestine: Statements (Resumed) (17 May 2018)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I, like other speakers, was horrified at the latest attack by Israel on protesters last weekend, as well as other attacks in recent weeks, which have left over 100 dead and many thousands wounded. I was not surprised at all, however. I have seen how the Israeli State treats and views the Palestinians. I have seen how, over the years, it has sought to colonise, conquer and extinguish the...

Topical Issue Debate: Social and Affordable Housing Provision (16 May 2018)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: It needs to happen urgently. On the land initiative, as proposed, I believe it is the public private partnership, PPP, model dressed up. The State needs to get a handle on housing proposals. The proposals put forward by Sinn Féin and others, including my colleague, Councillor Shane O'Brien, in dealing with the Shanganagh Castle site, bypass the private developer-led models in favour...
