Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (28 Sep 2023)

Ivana Bacik: I have just arrived here from Bass Place in Dublin 2, a stone's throw from here, in my constituency. There is a terrace there of six houses that are on the Dublin City Council derelict sites register. We were there to highlight the need for the Government to take more effective action to tackle the scourge of vacancy and dereliction across the country. We are conscious that the numbers of...

Historic and Archaeological Heritage and Miscellaneous Provisions Bill 2023: Report and Final Stages (27 Sep 2023)

Ivana Bacik: I support this important amendment. It expresses the crucial principle of repatriation of heritage, which works both ways in respect of both heritage works from Ireland and those from other countries too. It is such a huge issue now and there is a growing awareness of it. We see so-called august institutions in Britain, the US and elsewhere whose collections rely so heavily on what was, in...

Historic and Archaeological Heritage and Miscellaneous Provisions Bill 2023: Report and Final Stages (27 Sep 2023)

Ivana Bacik: I move amendment No. 38: In page 32, between lines 31 and 32, to insert the following: “(e) that reasonable public access, subject to appropriate controls and conditions, to national monuments and other historic heritage sites is a public good the promotion of which is the responsibility of the Minister, the Board, the Council and each local authority;”.

Historic and Archaeological Heritage and Miscellaneous Provisions Bill 2023: Report and Final Stages (27 Sep 2023)

Ivana Bacik: I am conscious that we are speaking to the grouping of amendments. Amendment No. 38, tabled by the Labour Party, is in keeping with the spirit of the other amendments, which seek to ensure maximum protection for heritage. The general object of the Bill is to update the National Monuments Acts and ensure strong protections for historic and archaeological heritage. Amendment No. 38, in...

Historic and Archaeological Heritage and Miscellaneous Provisions Bill 2023: Report and Final Stages (27 Sep 2023)

Ivana Bacik: I will come in on this group of amendments. As Deputy Ó Snodaigh has said, these relate, for the most part, to definitional issues in the Bill. It is important in such an important overhaul of the National Monuments Acts that we would see clarity of definitions. Government amendment No. 6 in this group provides a more contextual definition of "amenity". I welcome that. It is...

Gas (Amendment) Bill 2023: Second Stage (27 Sep 2023)

Ivana Bacik: As others said, this Bill is largely technical, and its provisions to integrate Ervia into Gas Networks Ireland make sense. Since Irish Water was separated from Ervia and Uisce Éireann was created at the beginning of this year, Ervia and Gas Networks Ireland have effectively been functioning as one company anyway. This legislation could therefore be described as cleaning things up, to...

Eviction Ban Bill 2022: Motion (27 Sep 2023)

Ivana Bacik: I thank Deputy Bríd Smith and her colleagues for tabling this motion, which I am glad to support on behalf of the Labour Party. I echo the words of Deputy Ó Broin in pointing out to the Government that, unfortunately, this is another example of a cynical procedural manoeuvre that we are seeing used all too often to delay and effectively neuter Opposition Bills by pushing them off,...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (26 Sep 2023)

Ivana Bacik: I want to return to the issue of childcare and early years education as currently early years educators, parents and providers are up in arms because childcare is not working for them. We hear from many parents about the shortage of places nationwide, expensive fees and providers closing their doors. I have a constituent who is still waiting to hear from the Department of Children,...
