Protection of Employees (Trade Union Subscriptions) Bill 2024: Second Stage [Private Members] (28 Feb 2024)

Joan Collins: I want to raise the serious issue of the physical segregation of Part 5 council tenants in private developments. We have several examples of Part 5 council tenants all over Dublin being housed in one block or area of a development and physically separated from other private tenants or occupants.

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (22 Feb 2024)

Joan Collins: I would not agree with the Tánaiste. It is not about the physical cost; rather, it is about the maintenance cost of segregation. That is the argument that was put forward.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection: Energy Poverty: Discussion (Resumed) (21 Feb 2024)

Joan Collins: I thank everyone who has come in. This is the first time I have grappled with the concept behind EnergyCloud. I have heard of it, but was not too aware of how it operates.
