Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Travel Restrictions (2 Jun 2020)

Peadar Tóibín: I do not want to interrupt and I apologise but my point, which Mr. Breslin makes in his own statement, is that NPHET gave the advice that there should be mandatory legal self-isolation for international travellers for the first 14 days. That has not been implemented by this Government two months later. We also have a situation whereby we were told by the Chief Medical Officer that the...

Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Travel Restrictions (2 Jun 2020)

What will be the cost to the public transportation system of the reduction in traveller numbers in the system in recent months? What will be necessary to pump into that system for the rest of the year to make sure that the capacity, the number of buses and the timetables are adhered to?

Estimates for Public Services 2020 (Resumed) (28 May 2020)

Peadar Tóibín: I am sorry. The situation is not the same as for typical, normal Estimates. These are in direct contradiction to the Government's commitment to continue the Covid payments. By definition, these Estimates are hocus pocus. We in the Opposition are being blackmailed. We either stand over these hocus pocus social welfare Estimates or the whole social welfare system grinds to a halt. What...

Estimates for Public Services 2020 (Resumed) (28 May 2020)

Peadar Tóibín: The reason I am convinced that the Government is going to make changes to the Covid payment in the future is that both Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael have stated that it is not logical for the payment to compensate certain workers for more than the income they actually lost. There is no doubt in my mind that we will reach a situation where some workers will receive the Covid payment in the...

Estimates for Public Services 2020 (Resumed) (28 May 2020)

Peadar Tóibín: I encourage the Ceann Comhairle to get one of those Zoom mute buttons for the Dáil in the future to make his life a little bit easier. It is 110 days since the general election and still the Dáil remains in a democratic twilight zone. I do not mean this in a personal way - I do not imagine the Minister is particularly comfortable or satisfied with the situation either - but it is...

Covid-19 (Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht): Statements (21 May 2020)

Peadar Tóibín: I note the same conversation was had five years ago in this Chamber and we are no further along in that regard. The matter I raise was also raised five and ten years ago in this Chamber and we are still no further along. Moore Street is the birthplace of the Irish Republic. The lanes and buildings that surround the street reverberate with the heroism of the people who were out in 1916....
