Home Care Workers and Home Support Scheme: Motion [Private Members] (8 Nov 2023)

Seán Sherlock: I wish to raise a very practical case with the Minister of State. I spoke to my colleague, Senator Wall, this morning and he informed me he is aware of at least four home care workers in the south Kildare area who are coming up to retirement age. The families who are being cared for contacted him to say there has been a dramatic reduction in the number of hours they are receiving. In this...

Electricity Costs (Emergency Measures) Domestic Accounts Bill 2023: Second Stage (25 Oct 2023)

Seán Sherlock: On behalf of the Labour Party, I welcome the opportunity to speak on this Bill, which, if passed, will provide for making three payments of €150 to ease the energy bills burden on hard-pressed households. While we will support this legislation on the basis of the adage that something is better than nothing, it bears repeating that this Government's approach to the cost of living is...

Funding for Persons with Disabilities: Motion [Private Members] (17 Oct 2023)

Seán Sherlock: We absolutely support the motion. I will start by quoting a document I received from Rehab in response to budget 2024. The words probably encapsulate the feeling of every similar organisation, including St. Joseph's Foundation in my area and Enable Ireland. These organisations speak of their frustration and the lack of certainty that pertains to their funding and that of their sector....

Childcare Fees: Motion [Private Members] (3 Oct 2023)

Seán Sherlock: I welcome the motion. We support it and acknowledge the work of Deputy Funchion on this issue. While doing so, it is important, on this issue, in my humble view, to adopt a less partisan approach, if I may put it that way, because we are dealing with children. If we can deal with the issue of children and access to childcare in a more collegiate fashion, dare I say it, then we should. I...

School Transport 2023-2024: Statements (3 Oct 2023)

Seán Sherlock: With the Chair's permission, I will share time with Deputies Nash and Smith. In the few minutes available to me, for which I am grateful, I acknowledge that the issue in Rathcormack and Kildinan has now been sorted. That is in no small part due to the fact that much pressure was brought to bear by Opposition Deputies and also Government backbenchers. I note the presence of Deputy...

Labour Exploitation and Trafficking (Audit of Supply Chains) Bill 2021: Second Stage [Private Members] (28 Sep 2023)

Seán Sherlock: What we want to try to achieve in bringing forward this Bill is the end of exploitation, particularly the exploitation of children, where we know it is happening and where there is strong evidence of its existence, and to put on companies or corporate entities a responsibility to ensure their supply chains are such that they are procured or attained ethically. This is why the legislation is...

Historic and Archaeological Heritage and Miscellaneous Provisions Bill 2023: Report and Final Stages (27 Sep 2023)

Seán Sherlock: In his further response, I implore the Minister of State to clarify for me because I did not quite understand his point in respect to how our amendment is confusing. He might just expand on the second part. I did not quite understand the point the Minister of State made in saying that it is provided for in the Planning and Development Act. I ask him to expand further on that to assist my...

Historic and Archaeological Heritage and Miscellaneous Provisions Bill 2023: Report and Final Stages (27 Sep 2023)

An overhaul of the National Monuments Acts, 1930-2014, has been in development for more than a decade and represents an opportunity for a truly visionary and clear piece of legislation. The Bill is welcome insofar as it goes some...

I want the Minister, through the Taoiseach, to give a commitment that the centre in Fermoy will not be closed and, second, that there will be active GP cover on a red-eye basis from 10 p.m. to 8 a.m....
