Situation in the Middle East and the Occupied Palestinian Territories: Statements (18 Oct 2023)

Ivana Bacik: As Deputy Howlin has said, over the past 11 days, we have all been shocked and horrified to watch the unfolding violence in Israel and Gaza. Indeed, it has shocked the world. Last week, we in the Labour Party condemned the horrific killing by Hamas of so many Israeli civilians, including women and children and, of course, the Irish citizen, Kim Damti, and the young daughter of an Irish...

Situation in the Middle East and the Occupied Palestinian Territories: Motion (18 Oct 2023)

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (18 Oct 2023)

Ivana Bacik: Today, more than 70,000 students are getting their junior certificate results, which is a record number of students. I wish them well. For many students, the education budget announced last week will have been a serious disappointment because once-off supports for schools have been cut to only €60 million, compared with €91 million last year. There was no permanent increase...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (18 Oct 2023)

Ivana Bacik: We have all been watching the violence escalate in Israel and Gaza over the past 11 days with grave horror and distress, as civilian deaths have mounted. Late last night, we learned with increasing horror that an air strike on the al-Ahli Arab Hospital in besieged Gaza has killed many hundreds of people. An image which will stay with all of us is that of the press conference held by...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (18 Oct 2023)

Ivana Bacik: I thank the Taoiseach for the response. The response of Ireland and the international community clearly matters. It is time for the international community to call stop. While I agree with the three calls the Government has made, we need to do more. Ireland must do all we can, not only to bring about a ceasefire, to bring about, what the Taoiseach has described, the release of...

An tOrd Gnó (Atógáil) - Order of Business (Resumed) (17 Oct 2023)

Ivana Bacik: At 3 a.m., at the eleventh hour, plans for indefinite strike action by section 39, section 56 and section 10 workers in the community and voluntary sector were called off, following a late agreement being reached at the WRC. Why did the Government let this go to the wire? In recent weeks, we have all been contacted by care staff, traumatised at the notion that people who rely on them will...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (17 Oct 2023)

Ivana Bacik: On a point of order, a Cheann Comhairle, there was no engagement with Opposition leaders on the text of this motion, certainly not with us and, I believe, not with other Opposition leaders.

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (17 Oct 2023)

Ivana Bacik: I too take issue with the Order of Business so that a Government-crafted motion on Palestine and Israel would be taken tomorrow without debate, a motion we have only just seen. It was supplied to us, I think, just half an hour ago. I agree that we should have been able to come to a consensual position on a cross-party basis, which would have been a far preferable way to approach this issue....

Ivana Bacik: I want to join others in offering sincere sympathies to the family of Kim Damti on the awful news of her death during the brutal Hamas attack at the weekend. We are all thinking of her and her family. Today is the last sitting day before strike action is taken by community and voluntary care workers in section 10, section 39 and section 56 organisations. They do not want to go on strike....

Financial Resolutions 2023 - Financial Resolution No. 4: General (Resumed) (11 Oct 2023)

Ivana Bacik: Section 39, section 10 and section 56 workers have been denied pay parity for far too long. We are going to see a massive impact on the community and voluntary sector and on the people who rely on that sector from next week if this is not resolved. It is a glaring gap in this budget. There are glaring gaps on housing, pay provision and on health, but there are also two other glaring...
