Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (11 Oct 2022)

Mick Barry: I note that the plans for paid domestic violence leave are being strongly opposed by IBEC. IBEC has argued that employers should be allowed to ask for proof to stop any "potential abuse" of paid leave to victims of domestic violence. This position is disgraceful. Why is the Government supporting five days of leave instead of the ten days that was its previous position? The zero tolerance...

Mick Barry: Thanks to a parliamentary question submitted by my colleague, Deputy Paul Murphy, we now know that data centres are to be included in the temporary business energy support scheme.

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (11 Oct 2022)

Mick Barry: Those measures will get many pay-as-you-go customers through this winter, no doubt, but will they get all pay-as-you-go customers through the winter? I do not believe that is the case nor do I believe the Taoiseach believes it to be the case either. He said that the fee has been waived for pay-as-you-go customers who want to transfer to bill-pay if they are vulnerable. That is very good...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (11 Oct 2022)

Mick Barry: I visited the PrepayPower website this morning. The website states: "If you do not keep your PPP PAYG [PrepayPower pay-as-you-go] Meter topped up with credit, it will self-disconnect and your electricity supply will cut off." On vulnerable customers, it states that: The CRU has put in place a rule whereby [registered] Vulnerable Customers cannot be disconnected for non-payment of [arrears]...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Human Rights (6 Oct 2022)

Mick Barry: Several solidarity protests have been organised in this State since the murder of Mahsa. The Iranian community has been the key driver of these protests, which have been supported by other groups such as students at Trinity College and the socialist feminist group ROSA. These actions should at the very least be matched by the actions of the State. I hear the point the Minister is making....

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Human Rights (6 Oct 2022)

Mick Barry: I express my solidarity with the powerful social movement in Iran, led by women, which has erupted since the state murder of 22-year-old Kurdish woman Mahsa Amini. Iran Human Rights has put the death toll at 133 since the state started trying to violently repress this movement, and more than 1,500 have been arrested. Still, this movement grows. The slogan "Woman, Life, Freedom" echoes from...
