- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (8 Mar 2023)
Paul Gavan: Well said.
- Seanad: Good Friday Agreement and Windsor Framework: Motion (8 Mar 2023)
Paul Gavan: The Minister of State is very welcome. I welcome this debate and the constructive points made on all sides of the Chamber. When I reflect on the Good Friday Agreement, I am always reminded of the words of Nelson Mandela. Although he was, of course, talking about his own country at the time, he very famously said that it is always impossible until it is done. That phrase very much sums up...
- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (7 Mar 2023)
Paul Gavan: I raise the issue of illegal pushbacks across the European Union and the devastating effects they are having on the victims themselves but also on the values that we so often hear proclaimed regarding the European Union. I want to quote directly from a report from the Greek Council of Refugees that was published two weeks ago and has not made any news on this side of the media. Regarding...
- Seanad: Patient Safety (Notifiable Incidents and Open Disclosure) Bill 2019: Second Stage (7 Mar 2023)
Paul Gavan: On this, the eve of International Women's Day, this Bill presents a timely reminder of the many ways in which the State and the Government have failed ordinary people, and in particular women. However, this Bill also presents an opportunity to put these same women front and centre, and acknowledge the dedication and sacrifices they gave to make Ireland a better place for women in the future....

Paul Gavan: Well said.
- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (1 Mar 2023)
Paul Gavan: I welcome the ambassadors to the Gallery. I second the proposal by my colleague, Senator Ó Donnghaile, to amend the Order of Business. I spoke on the same topic in the Chamber yesterday evening, assuming the Government amendment would be forthcoming. I expect everyone in this House would find it unacceptable for the Bill to be left as it currently is, which would mean a woman availing...
- Seanad: Project Ireland 2040: Statements (1 Mar 2023)
Paul Gavan: Gabhaim buíochas leis an gCathaoirleach Gníomhach. As always, the Minister is very welcome. Historically, Ireland’s stock and quality of public infrastructure has been poor by international standards. Poor quality roads, water and telecommunications infrastructure, in addition to a lack of schools and hospitals, compounded by poorly-balanced regional development, has...

- Seanad: Work Life Balance and Miscellaneous Provisions Bill 2022: Report Stage (1 Mar 2023)
Paul Gavan: The Minister will be aware that there is a very significant concern in respect of the domestic violence provisions in this Bill and the failure to date of the Minister to follow through with the commitment that one of his officials gave in the past week, which was to propose an amendment to do away with the provision of a reduced rate of pay for domestic violence leave. I note that there is...
