Joint Oireachtas Committee on Environment, Culture and the Gaeltacht: Management and Operation of Housing Associations: Discussion (1 Oct 2013)

Caít Keane: I welcome the witnesses and congratulate the Minister of State on introducing these regulations. Regardless of the type of housing that is provided, it is important that there be regulation and security for people in housing. The HFA was set up as a State organisation and is now a self-financing one or, as has been mentioned, a mini-bank. Any bank that has an overall surplus of €23...

Seanad: Services for People with Disabilities: Motion (25 Sep 2013)

Caít Keane: I am delighted to contribute to this important debate and I thank the proposers of the motion for tabling it. The more often disabilities are spoken about in this House the better. I contributed two items, one of which was on employment rights for people with disabilities. Only last year did public bodies reach the target for employing people with disabilities. It is a small target at 3%,...

Caít Keane: Nuair a bhí John Tierney istigh linn cúpla mí ó shin, chuir mé é sin in iúl dó nuair a labhair mé leis thuas staighre. Tá sé ráite san Acht anois gur "Uisce Éireann" an t-ainm atá ar an gcuideachta, ach tá "Irish Water" ann freisin.

Caít Keane: Tá a lán ráite ag an tUasal de Spáinn ansin. Dúirt sé féin agus an Teachta Ó Cuív gur cóir an straitéis ar fad, ó bhun go barr, a chur i bhfeidhm - go hiomlán, nó tada. Tá sé ráite ag Ranna éagsúla nach mbeidh siad in ann A, B nó C a dhéanamh. An cheist atá i mo mheabhair ná...

Caít Keane: Bhí a lán moltaí sa straitéis i 2010, ach táimid san áit ina bhfuil muid anseo inniu agus caithfimid rud éigin a dhéanamh. Tá uaim go mbeimid realistic mar gheall ar cad is féidir linn a dhéanamh. B'fhéidir gur mbeimid in ann deich rud a chur i bhfeidhm in aon bhliain amháin. Ceapaim gurb é an oideachas an chaoi is...

Caít Keane: Cuirim fíor fáilte roimh na toscairí chuig an cruinniú seo le labhairt faoin obair thábhachtach seo. Léigh mé sa léiriú a tugadh dúinn go bhfuil fadhbanna dochreidte ag baint leis an straitéis agus go bhfuil sibh ag iarraidh na fadhbanna sin a réiteach i bpáirtíocht leis na húdaráis. Tá sé an...

Seanad: Directive of European Parliament on Sexual Abuse and Exploitation of Children: Statements (19 Sep 2013)

Caít Keane: It is unfortunate to have so little time for such an important debate. I welcome the Minister on his first outing to this House and I thank him for giving up time to allow me to speak about the implementation of the EU directive. As another Senator mentioned, it is a long time in the making. I know that the Minister for Justice and Equality, Deputy Shatter, has been proactive on the issue...

Seanad: Directive of European Parliament on Sexual Abuse and Exploitation of Children: Statements (19 Sep 2013)

Caít Keane: I also compliment the Garda and Interpol on their joint co-operation in the area. Not enough work is being done, however, especially as computer software is available to the Garda Síochána to gather information and intelligence on possible suspects operating in their jurisdiction. Law enforcement agencies from 25 European countries, including Ireland, were supported and...

Seanad: Order of Business (19 Sep 2013)

Caít Keane: I support Senator van Turnhout who brought to the attention of the House that the French Senate has banned the exploitation of children via beauty pageants. This House should take the lead by ensuring that such pageants should not be tolerated in Ireland. I will be travelling to Brussels tomorrow to meet Commissioner Malmström and discuss with her and Lord Anthony Steyn from the UK the...

Seanad: Adjournment Matters: Wind Energy Guidelines (18 Sep 2013)

Caít Keane: I am advised it is not allowed, but I will use my discretion. If the Senator has shared time previously, I must check on that. If it has been allowed, far be it from me to stop him now. I will check the regulations.
