National Maternity Hospital: Statements (31 Mar 2022)

Réada Cronin: It is hard to believe we are in this State in 2022 and when we talk about the State I often think “state” is a good word for us because we are in a bit of a state. Here we having statements and there is no additional information or clarity in the Minister’s statement. We are still trying to sort out our national maternity hospital to offer state-of-the-art medical...

Women's Health Action Plan: Statements (31 Mar 2022)

Réada Cronin: Sinn Féin welcomes this plan, which recognises women's health in its own right at long last. All too often, women do not feel listened to when it comes to our health and our real concerns can be minimalised or dismissed. We have all heard of the anxiety that turns out to be heart disease or the normal period pain that ends up being endometriosis. We suffer from a gender gap in medical...

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (31 Mar 2022)

Réada Cronin: I raise the crisis in childcare, which is forcing women in Kilcock, Maynooth and Celbridge out of the workforce because they cannot find affordable childcare.

Réada Cronin: The Circular Economy, Waste Management (Amendment) and Minerals Development (Amendment) Bill 2022 might sound remote to people who are struggling with the cost of living at the moment but it will actually matter to how we live our lives in the context of waste, emissions and climate change.

Government Response to Situation in Ukraine: Statements (30 Mar 2022)

Réada Cronin: It is funny to think that, up to a month ago, we were not talking much about Ukraine. In fact, most people, including me, thought it was called "the Ukraine". Now, we are checking the news throughout the day and opening our hearts and homes to the women and children seeking refuge. I hope they will be very happy and safe here, that the family members they have left behind to defend their...

It is certainly in the social revolution and women are finding our voice. Actually, we always had it....
