An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (21 Feb 2023)

Mary Lou McDonald: The cost-of-living package does not envisage any additional relief or support in terms of energy costs. I note that Pinergy has announced a 7.1% cut in its electricity prices. We know wholesale prices have dropped considerably. We also know companies are not passing on this reduction to their customers. What does the Taoiseach propose to do in this situation? Has he had contact with the...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (21 Feb 2023)

Mary Lou McDonald: They are not agreed. We saw another attack last night on the Garda Síochána. One officer has been hospitalised and we wish that officer a speedy recovery. It is now very clear we do not have the Garda resource required throughout the State to keep communities and citizens safe. I would go so far as to say that, increasingly, people feel very unsafe in their homes, on their...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (21 Feb 2023)

Mary Lou McDonald: It beggars belief that the Government would produce a package that completely ignores the fact that rents are still out of control. Rents should not be rising by even a percentage point; they need to come down. That is not going to happen automatically; it will require the Government to take action. In the context of people paying mortgages, some of whom have been thrown to the wolves - or...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (21 Feb 2023)

Mary Lou McDonald: The Government has now signed off on its cost-of-living package. Sinn Féin has argued strongly for a spring bonus and we welcome these additional support payments to protect vulnerable people. High energy costs, food prices and increases to come in fuel costs will mean workers and families will remain under pressure. For the life of me, I cannot understand how the three men leading...

Co-ordination of International Protection Services: Statements (16 Feb 2023)

Mary Lou McDonald: The people of Ireland have an affinity with those who need the protection and shelter of other countries. It is an affinity born of our history of colonisation, oppression and dispossession. Just over 150 years ago, so many of our people escaped the starvation of an Górta Mór by fleeing to the four corners of the world. Through our history, we understand what it means to be...
