Seanad: Order of Business (Resumed) (4 Jun 2014)

Caít Keane: I, too, support Senator Naughton's call for a debate on unmarked baby graveyards. As mentioned by her, she was one of the first people to raise the Galway babies issue. The positive news announced by her today in regard to the inquiry is to be welcomed. NAMA is offering units for social housing. While this is a good and positive development, I condemn NAMA's proposal to offer 500 units in...

Seanad: Adjournment Matters: Child Care Services Provision (29 May 2014)

Caít Keane: I ask the Minister to ask his Department about one of the reasons I was given by the parents. The crèche is using the new child care regulations to close and that must be contradicted. I am trained in inspecting crèches and I know what is needed. I visited the crèche and I contacted the agency. It is passing and it will pass the new regulations. It is up to the Minister to...

Seanad: Adjournment Matters: Child Care Services Provision (29 May 2014)

Caít Keane: I welcome the Minister. I have spoken to him and the Minister for Health about this before. This is closing a crèche by e-mail. No parents have seen the report by Canavan and Byrne, only the board of management has seen it. Will the Minister ask for a copy of the report? What is in it? I visited the crèche and there is no reason it should close. The Child and Family Agency...

Seanad: Order of Business (29 May 2014)

Caít Keane: I congratulate Young Fine Gael and the Minister, Deputy Varadkar, for listening to it and introducing the transport initiative outlined by Senator Pat O'Neill. I asked the CSO to calculate figures in that regard because the savings made by school-going children, especially where there are two or three children in a family, could be substantial. We hear much talk lately about those over 18...

Caít Keane: Could I raise it on the Order of Business?

Seanad: Order of Business (29 May 2014)

Caít Keane: I met the assistant CEO. The issue is important. A report that has not been published is being used against parents. I want the Minister to ask for the report. The crèche is not being closed by the Minister. One must take all of the issues into consideration. Nurses have to work at 8 a.m. and many crèches are not open. The crèche must stay open. I ask that the Minister...

Seanad: Order of Business (29 May 2014)

Caít Keane: It is hard enough for parents to get out to work without having hindrances put in their way.

Seanad: Youth Guarantee and Rent Supplement: Statements (28 May 2014)

Caít Keane: I welcome the Minister for Social Protection to the House. As Senator O’Donnell said, youth employment is an important debate and, as they will lead the country in the future, it is imperative we ensure they are not led into the rut of long-term unemployment. Surveys have shown that it is more difficult to get the long-term unemployed back into the jobs market. I also congratulate...

Caít Keane: Ceist amháin eile. B'fhéidir go gcuirfidh tú - lazy man's load - na moltaí sin chugam. D'fhéadfaí a lán a dhéanamh gan costas ar an Stát agus ba cheart dúinn féachaint ar na rudaí sin, chomh maith le rudaí eile. An féidir highlight a chur ar na rudaí sin sa document agus é a chur chugam agus chuig an coiste....

Caít Keane: Cuirim fíor fáilte roimh gach éinne anseo agus gabhaim buíochas leo as na doiciméid a sheoladar chugainn, atá an-éasca a léamh agus ina bhfuil na moltaí leagtha amach go soiléir. Dúirt duine go bhfuil an Bille ró-mhaith le rud eile a dhéanamh, ach níl sé. Táimid go léir anseo ag éisteacht agus muna...

Caít Keane: Tá suim ag gach éínne sna Gaelscoileanna, ach ta an-chuid díobh suite i community halls. Níl sin ceart nó cóir. Ba cheart go mbeadh gach éinne ag screadaíl chuig an Aire Oireachtais chun foirgnimh cuí a chur ar fáil chomh luath agus a bunaíteart Gaelscoil. Maidir le Comhdháil Náisiúnta na Gaeilge, labhair méi...

Caít Keane: Is as An Clochán mise agus tá a fhios agam go bhfuil a lán daoine i mBaile Conaola agus An Clochán nach bhfuil pioc Gaeilge acu. Mar sin, is ceart go mbeadh na hainmneacha i nGaeilge agus i mBéarla, ach ba cheart go mbeadh na hainmneacha sa litriú céanna, go mbeadh an mhéid chéanna ar na litreacha agus go mbeadh an leagan Ghaeilge ar bharr an...
