Water Environment (Abstractions and Associated Impoundments) Bill 2022: Second Stage (8 Dec 2022)

Patricia Ryan: The purpose of this Bill is to create a registration and licensing system for the abstraction of water from the water table. This is yet another EU directive that the Government has been slow to implement. The Government has been very fast in trying to saddle the people with water charges to suit its privatisation agenda but slow in addressing water quality and supply issues. The Bill is...

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (8 Dec 2022)

Patient Safety (Notifiable Patient Safety Incidents) Bill 2019: Report Stage (7 Dec 2022)

Patricia Ryan: Everybody who spoke earlier had an issue around the absence of a statutory duty of candour in the Bill. I am asking that this be addressed also. What I really want to say is there should be an obligation on the provider clinician - I am glad that the Minister has mentioned that - to inform a patient of her right to a Part 5 review at the point of diagnosis. We owe it to Lorraine Walsh and...

Patient Safety (Notifiable Patient Safety Incidents) Bill 2019: Report Stage (7 Dec 2022)

Patricia Ryan: The Minister will know Sinn Féin has no issue with the amendments to the Bill, but we have an issue with the process and the absence of a statutory duty of candour. The Bill also fails to specify or provide powers to the Minister to prescribe how the review will be conducted. It is similar to self-regulation. How can we do something in this Chamber and have it looking like...

Teacher Shortages: Motion [Private Members] (7 Dec 2022)

Patricia Ryan: It is like a game of pass the parcel here with Ministers this morning. I wish to thank the Social Democrats. The Minister must listen to the principals and teachers who are on the front line.

The report estimates that up to 100,000 homes could be affected by building defects with a potential cost of remediation as high as €2.5 billion. There are many examples of building...

Gambling Regulation Bill 2022: Second Stage (6 Dec 2022)

Patricia Ryan: We in Sinn Féin welcome the Bill and will support its passage to Committee Stage, where we will table amendments to its deficiencies. It is a comprehensive Bill dealing with the regulation of gambling. It is an important step but it must be accompanied by funding for addiction services, awareness campaigns and supports that are free of industry influence. In April this year, several...

Local Government (Maternity Protection and Other Measures for Members of Local Authorities) Bill 2022: Second Stage (1 Dec 2022)

The Moorhead report looked at this issue and arising out of the...
