- COP27: Statements (29 Nov 2022)
Réada Cronin: I would like to be associated with the remarks of an Teachta O'Rourke regarding the contribution of the Minister at COP27, as well as that of the Taoiseach. I am glad to speak about COP27. It feeds into the claims of climate deniers to say that COP has created so much hot air, it would make its own contribution to global warming. It is important to put climate in the media and public...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Role of Media and Communications in Actioning Climate Change: Discussion (29 Nov 2022)
Réada Cronin: I was really looking forward to this meeting because it is very interesting to focus on these issues. My first question is to Dr. Robbins. He spoke about how the media sector is struggling, with advertising revenue decimated by technology platforms. Many young people get their news from those platforms. There is an issue regarding greenwashing advertising and the conflict of interest that...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Role of Media and Communications in Actioning Climate Change: Discussion (29 Nov 2022)
Réada Cronin: I have another question for Dr Robbins. He said he has been working with news organisations on broadening and deepening their climate coverage. Was that engagement mainly Dublin-centred? Many people get their news from the local radio station.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Role of Media and Communications in Actioning Climate Change: Discussion (29 Nov 2022)
Réada Cronin: I was disappointed with what Dr. Lunn said about education. I thought the reason I did not litter was that it was drummed into us in school that we should not throw anything on the ground or we would be litterbugs. When the change in legislation on the use of seat belts came in, it was my children who forced me to remember to adhere to that. Now I do it automatically. I am very upset...
- Dog Breeding Establishments (Amendment) Bill 2021: Second Stage [Private Members] (24 Nov 2022)
Réada Cronin: I am glad to speak to the Bill and I commend na Teachtaí Tóibín, Grealish and Canney, all of whom had some part in getting it to this stage. It was nice to hear the Minister's remarks. I always think the Thursday debates are a bit more easygoing and it was good to hear her put her dogs' names on the record, so I will do likewise. I had no dog to welcome me home last night...
- Abuse at Certain Educational Institutions: Statements (24 Nov 2022)
Réada Cronin: I approach the debate with the desire and need to tread carefully and sensitively. The debate is about abuse at certain institutions but all Members present should be aware that if the number of people who have been sexually abused is one in four, then there are at least 40 survivors in this Dáil, 15 in the Seanad and at least 200 among the Oireachtas staff and media who work in...

- Social Welfare Bill 2022: Second Stage (Resumed) (23 Nov 2022)
Réada Cronin: I am glad to speak on the Social Welfare Bill. Given that the cost of living is rocketing for many people, I will make my contribution all about the money. In my constituency, Kildare North, people are feeling the pinch. The terms "social protection" and "social welfare" are important, good, positive, inclusive and caring. They form the basis of care for people in our society who need...
- Declaration of a Housing Emergency: Motion [Private Members] (22 Nov 2022)
Réada Cronin: I do not want to hurt the Taoiseach's sensitive feelings about who used the word "emergency" first. When it comes to housing, we are at it. Our Uachtaráin, a man who is never at a loss for finding the right word, called it a "disaster" when he visited my constituency of Kildare North a few months ago. A decent home is normally an indication of a decent society, but it has become a...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Sequestration and Land Management-Nature Restoration: Discussion (Resumed) (22 Nov 2022)
Réada Cronin: I thank the witnesses for the engagement so far. It is the polar opposite of some of the greenwashing we listen to sometimes. Professor Byrne referred to sustainable forest management. Right now, it is far from sustainable, either ecologically or socially, with some plantations not very popular in the communities in which they are located. Reference was made to sustainability and carbon...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Sequestration and Land Management-Nature Restoration: Discussion (Resumed) (22 Nov 2022)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Sequestration and Land Management-Nature Restoration: Discussion (Resumed) (22 Nov 2022)
Réada Cronin: We were talking about forest management. Professor Joosten referred to how wetted bog peatlands could be used to provide material for housebuilding, insulation and so on. Has he anything to add to that?
