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".

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Gender Equality: Recommendations of Citizens' Assembly on Gender Equality: Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth (24 Mar 2022)

Réada Cronin: Book me in for that. I wish to follow up on the two preceding questions. Under Article 41.2, a woman's place is in the home.

However, when we talk to the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage, Deputy Darragh O'Brien, he confirms that the responsibility to provide them lies with Tusla, which is under the Minister's Department. We...
