Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Youth Perspectives on the Circular Economy and COP27, including Climate Justice and Energy: Discussion (21 Oct 2022)

Réada Cronin: I will stand, as our witnesses stood when they were speaking. We sat the last time we had young people in with us. I must say that today has been just as insightful as that meeting was. I was really taken by the fact that so many of our witnesses said they feel let down by politicians and the system and by the choices that are made. There is no doubt but that we are going to need radical...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Youth Perspectives on the Circular Economy and COP27, including Climate Justice and Energy: Discussion (21 Oct 2022)

Réada Cronin: I am not looking for a show of hands on this but my eldest son, who is 32 years old, had always said he was never going to learn how to drive and asked why he would bother when he had access to public transport. He is now living farther from public transport and has bought a petrol car. He could not afford to buy an electric one. I assume none of our guests has a car. Do they expect they...

Réada Cronin: Gabhaim buíochas leis an cathaoirleach. I thank our guests for all their presentations.

The Senator's report found that while 68% of graduates of media and journalism were female, they were severely underrepresented in journalism on the radio, in newspapers, etc. It is...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Gender Equality: Recommendations of the Report of the Citizens’ Assembly on Gender Equality: Discussion (Resumed) (20 Oct 2022)

Réada Cronin: I knew I would get two rounds. I talked to a woman recently who is very high up in the corporate world. I was talking to her regarding her child not getting a seat on the school bus service. She raised the issue that the lack of support from the State affects her being able to hold onto her job, and the gap that exists between announcing new policy and the delivery of it. I ask Ms Harford...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Gender Equality: Recommendations of the Report of the Citizens’ Assembly on Gender Equality: Discussion (Resumed) (20 Oct 2022)

Réada Cronin: I was in local politics before I came to the Oireachtas. I sat on the local Traveller accommodation consultative committee, LTACC, in Kildare County Council. The witnesses are talking about Traveller women even being present in the room. Is there any way that local government could help support women? I just do not mean getting elected but by having them on different committees....

Mother and Baby Institutions Redress Scheme: Motion [Private Members] (19 Oct 2022)

Réada Cronin: I also thank the Social Democrat for tabling this important motion. However, it has come to the stage where I kind of dread getting up here and talking about mother and baby homes because so many of the people who were excluded from our society back in the dark old days of the State are still being excluded by the Government’s proposals. At the time of their first exclusion, their...

Select Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: Estimates for Public Services 2022 (Supplementary)
Vote 29 - Environment, Climate and Communications (18 Oct 2022)

Réada Cronin: I thank the Minister for coming in today. I ask him for his views on prepay meters. He is leaving much to the CRU. Many people on these prepay meters are actually paying a higher tariff for their electricity. They are also paying a higher standing charge. That seems extremely unfair because the provider is actually guaranteed payment whereas if someone had an ordinary meter, the provider...
