Carers: Motion [Private Members] (18 Jun 2024)

Catherine Connolly: Regarding that last comment, quite a number of our carers are non-Irish. It is important to acknowledge that. I thank Sinn Féin for tabling this motion. It builds on what Sinn Féin, Deputy Canney, others and I have done. We are doing this not to embarrass the Government. Well, perhaps we are doing it to embarrass the Government into acting. Rather than use my own words, I...

Carers: Motion [Private Members] (18 Jun 2024)

Catherine Connolly: A mixture. It is difficult to understand from the answers whether the beds are for older people or people with disabilities. There is a mix. I will put my hands up and say I am adding to the confusion. These are basic requirements. Carers are saving us billions of euro. I heard a figure of €20 billion mentioned. I do not know what the exact figure is, but the one I was using...

International Protection, Asylum and Migration: Motion (18 Jun 2024)

Catherine Connolly: The next slot is a Government slot. Does Deputy Coveney wish to speak?

International Protection, Asylum and Migration: Motion (18 Jun 2024)

Catherine Connolly: I listened to the Minister carefully. This Government has led a divisive campaign about refugees and asylum seekers. This has led to a situation where we have two tiers. The Ukrainians came in with full rights compared to those ensconced in direct provision. This Government has stood over direct provision, a system that was not fit for purpose, for over 24 years. There were numerous...

International Protection, Asylum and Migration: Motion (18 Jun 2024)

Catherine Connolly: I did not interrupt the Minister. What are we looking at here? The UN estimates that at the end of 2023, there were more than 117 million displaced people in the world. I understand the number has gone up to almost 120 million. What are we doing about that? What lens are we looking through to see what is happening in the world? What voice are we using? Are we using our voice as a...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (18 Jun 2024)

Catherine Connolly: I am going back again on the Women’s Aid report. It has already been raised by two Deputies. We could not fail to raise it given the damning figures: an 18% increase in disclosures from last year, making it the highest on record. Women’s Aid is now 50 years on the ground. I would have hoped that it would be redundant by this point and we would not need it anymore and instead...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (18 Jun 2024)

Catherine Connolly: When the Taoiseach spoke to President Biden yesterday, did he ask him to stop the export of arms that are responsible for the genocide in Palestine? Did he ask him to take action on that? The previous Taoiseach wrote to von der Leyen back in February about the EU-Israel agreement; nothing has happened since. He wrote directly to von der Leyen and there has been no response. Yet this...
