As he will probably be aware, our CCTV was deemed to be not in compliance with data protection and a significant fine was issue on the local authority. Illegal dumping and fly-tipping is off the scale at present because they know they cannot be prosecuted. The sooner that could be implemented, the...
- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Hospital Facilities (3 Oct 2023)
Maurice Quinlivan: I thank the Minister of State. With the greatest respect to him, as I said earlier, I am deeply disappointed the Minister for Health or a Minister of State from the Department of Health are not here. It is really important and I do not believe the Minister has grasped the severity of the situation in Limerick, which is ongoing. We are facing a crisis. I have been in the hospital recently....

Maurice Quinlivan: I stood in this Chamber six years ago, in May 2017, with a different Minister of State sitting opposite, when we in the mid-west region were looking forward to the imminent opening of the new emergency department in University Hospital Limerick, UHL. None of us was naive enough to believe it would solve all the problems in the hospital, or even in the emergency department, but we were led to...

- Domestic, Sexual and Gender-Based Violence Agency Bill 2023: Second Stage (28 Sep 2023)
Maurice Quinlivan: When the Minister for Justice talks of a zero tolerance approach to domestic and gender-based violence, I cannot but agree with her. It is one of the most horrendous crimes of which a person can be a victim. I think of my home as a sanctuary that I can retreat to after a tough day at work, a place of peace and comfort. For those who are attacked, often the violence directed against them...
- Historic and Archaeological Heritage and Miscellaneous Provisions Bill 2023: Report and Final Stages (27 Sep 2023)

Visitors to any museum in the UK, especially in London, will see artefacts from all over the world, many of which are from Ireland. In 1916, during the Easter Rising, there was no rising in Limerick but there was a mobilisation. At that time, a flag was seized from the Irish Volunteers by the 4th Battalion of the British Army's...
