Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: Implementation of the Recommendations of the Report of the Commission on the Defence Forces: Discussion (26 Sep 2023)

Réada Cronin: I have a final question on work-life balance. When people are starting off in the Army, if they look in any way presentable, they are often expected to work weekends in the officers’ mess. How does that equate with improving the work-life balance? We can get away with things like that when unemployment is high but not in the current employment circumstances. I would like to have...

Affordable Housing: Motion [Private Members] (21 Sep 2023)

Réada Cronin: Gabhaim buíochas freisin leis na Social Democrats as an Private Members' motion seo. Housing and affordability are not mutually exclusive. It is not a sign of an advanced society or economy if people cannot afford a home. It is not a sign of success or progress if hard work and a good job are no longer enough for a person to be able to afford to rent or buy a home of their own....

Energy (Windfall Gains in the Energy Sector) (Cap on Market Revenues) Bill 2023: Second Stage (21 Sep 2023)

I do not want to sound rude or anything like that, because I know the Minister of State is a very mild-mannered Minister, but it really is about time that we had this Bill.

Situation in Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territory: Statements (13 Jul 2023)

Réada Cronin: I want to recognise how the Irish people, through us, stand by Palestine. I will return to the actions that I want us to take but, first, I want to talk specifically about the children of Palestine.
