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...

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (17 Nov 2022)

Réada Cronin: The HSE and the Department of Health management has eye-watering salaries and the perpetual luxury of learning lessons. In the week of Vicky Phelan's death we learned there has been no retrospective review of cervical slides for the past four years, despite recommendations to do so. This morning we learned that Tusla has spent €400,000 - nearly half a million - without tender, on a...

Water Policy: Statements (9 Nov 2022)

Réada Cronin: There are people in my constituency of Kildare North who cannot move into their homes because of water supply issues. That is not a problem just for people in my colleague's area. I make my contribution as a member of the climate committee in the week of COP27 and the growing public awareness on this island and globally that water, and access to it, is something we can no longer take for...

Water Policy: Statements (9 Nov 2022)

Réada Cronin: People can live for a few weeks without food but we can only live for a few days without water. We reject the idea that it would be privatised and profitised. Sinn Féin will oppose every measure to move water out of public ownership.

Creeslough, County Donegal: Statements (8 Nov 2022)

Réada Cronin: We are here to speak on the awful tragedy at Creeslough. It was one of those moments where the island was united in shock and in grief. It was one of those moments when we look at our own lives and the people in them and take the time and opportunity to tell them how much we value and love them and how unbearable it would be to imagine life without them. This is exactly the present and...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Provision of Bus Services in Dublin: Discussion (8 Nov 2022)

Réada Cronin: I am grateful to be in a position to be able to attend this meeting. I am normally at the Joint Committee on Environment and Climate Action, which happens to sit at the same time. When we talk about joined-up thinking, transport and climate change are intrinsically linked. It is a pity that the meetings conflict when one is a spokesperson for that issue. I wish to ask Dublin Bus about...
