Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (30 Sep 2020)

Chris Andrews: The health guidelines on playing outdoor sports and team sports are unclear and confusing for many sports clubs. Different sporting organisations are interpreting the guidelines differently. We have a situation now where players can play one day for Clanna Gael Fontenoy in Ringsend but the same players cannot play for St. Patrick's CYFC in Ringsend in the eastern women's football league the...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla -Topical Issue Debates: Housing Regeneration (29 Sep 2020)

Chris Andrews: Inner city Dublin has a large working class community. This is probably forgotten when people look at its skyline and see sparkling six, eight and ten storey apartment buildings and plenty of cranes. These new buildings have state-of-the-art technology and all the mod cons, but that is in stark contrast to Dublin City Council's housing in Pearse House, Glover's Court and most of the...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla -Topical Issue Debates: Housing Regeneration (29 Sep 2020)

Chris Andrews: I thank the Minister of State for his response. Clearly, Dublin City Council is filling in the details, but it cannot do this without funding and a commitment. It is important that the Government commits to funding redevelopment projects. Pearse House is a large development of 370 flats and is experiencing many social as well as physical infrastructure issues. It needs to be regenerated....

Covid-19 (Transport): Statements (23 Sep 2020)

Chris Andrews: I congratulate the Minister on his elevation and wish him the best. It is a great honour and a huge responsibility. Early in the pandemic, front-line hospital staff in the Dublin City Council area were given free parking when they were near particular hospitals. This was a very fair and welcome gesture. This decision was made by the Government and Dublin City Council implemented it....

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (23 Sep 2020)

Chris Andrews: I am sorry, a Cheann Comhairle. I was not sure where I was on the list. Sometimes I am never sure where I am. Before the summer recess I raised the serious health concerns of an 11-year-old scoliosis patient, Sophie Redmond, with the Taoiseach. Sophie is in need of urgent spinal surgery but she also desperately requires surgery on her knees. At the time, the Taoiseach mentioned the...

Community Safety and Fireworks: Motion [Private Members] (22 Sep 2020)

Chris Andrews: I welcome this motion put forward by my colleague, Deputy Ward. Two weeks ago, a young woman in the park in Ringsend was hit in the forehead by rocket. When I say there was a hole in her head, I am not exaggerating. It was horrendous. It was an image that could not be unseen and was hard to get out of one's mind. It was traumatic, I imagine, for the poor woman. This year, the...

Chris Andrews: I acknowledge the significant and amazing work that, as other members mentioned, has been done by volunteers in the sports clubs and organisations during the pandemic. It shows how important sport is in Irish society. I have a question specifically for the FAI.
