Aodhán Ó Ríordáin: I welcome the prison education task force alluded to by the Minister. The task force can do fantastic work, particularly when in a position of overseeing two Departments. The Minister mentioned the children of prisoners and made a very good point. There is a gender dimension to this issue.

Aodhán Ó Ríordáin: We need more judges, which the Minister alluded to in his presentation. The Circuit Courts are totally under-served, particularly for family law court cases.

There are people in my constituency who work in Beaumont Hospital and who are...

Aodhán Ó Ríordáin: There is a leaflet going around in parts of Dublin saying that girls are not to go out after 6 p.m. It says "Rialtas na hÉireann" at the bottom of it, misspelt. There are activists within my constituency who are trying to counter that sort of stuff with fact-based information leaflets going around. There are no leaflets from the Government currently. Is there one planned? I refer to...

Emergency Housing Measures: Motion [Private Members] (9 Feb 2023)

Aodhán Ó Ríordáin: It would be remiss of me not to mention today that we laid to rest a former Minister for Education, Niamh Bhreathnach, who spent many years teaching children from the Oliver Bond flat complex in the north-west inner city.

As the Minister outlined, there has been an investment and approximately...
