Ivana Bacik: I thank the Tánaiste for the response, in particular his comment that he has an open mind on the plans for the inquiry. That is a very fair response. I agree with him that it would be positive to move swiftly on this. I think he has said he hopes to bring the recommendations to Cabinet next week.

Health (Termination of Pregnancy Services) (Safe Access Zones) Bill 2023: Second Stage (5 Jul 2023)

Ivana Bacik: We have seen really despicable tactics being used in some of these protests, including the appalling practice of displaying small coffins.

We should all reflect on that as we see these so-called...

Matters Arising in RTÉ: Statements (4 Jul 2023)

Ivana Bacik: For more than two weeks now, political debate has been utterly dominated by the controversy within our national broadcaster with the revelation of secret payments and cover-ups there. The reason it has commanded so much attention is because RTÉ is so central to our day-to-day lives and to our society. As our public service broadcaster, it sets the day-to-day news agenda. It is central...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (4 Jul 2023)

She is sleeping on the couch in her rented apartment while her...
