An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (3 Oct 2023)

Louise O'Reilly: It is not agreed. On 17 October, workers in section 39, section 56 and section 10 agencies will be taking industrial action. As the Taoiseach and I know, this is the last thing they want to do. It is very much the last thing that service users and their families want to happen. Can we put time aside this week to discuss that dispute? The families are watching this debate and feel like...

Written Answers — Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport: Pension Provisions (3 Oct 2023)

Louise O'Reilly: 191. To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if he is aware that pensioners of a company (details supplied) are struggling with the cost of living because their pensions were cut and are in no way keeping pace with inflation; if he has any plans to meet with them or their representatives to discuss their pension issues; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Domestic, Sexual and Gender-Based Violence Agency Bill 2023: Second Stage (28 Sep 2023)

Louise O'Reilly: I start by acknowledging Emma Reidy and the staff and volunteers who run the Aoibhneas domestic abuse support service in my own area. I am sure we all acknowledge this because we know the work they do. Many of us will refer people from our own constituency offices to the local service so there is nobody under any illusions about how acutely underfunded and under-resourced they are. As...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Public Transport (27 Sep 2023)

Louise O'Reilly: The Minister of State will forgive a little bit of cynicism on my part when she mentions projects like MetroLink. There are people in my constituency who bought houses off the plans from brochures that had a picture of MetroLink on them. They thought their kids might be able to use it to go to school and perhaps college, and maybe at some point their kids might be able to use it to get into...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Public Transport (27 Sep 2023)

Louise O'Reilly: I bring to the Minister of State’s attention issues that occur regularly in my constituency regarding the provision of public transport. I am lucky to represent one of the youngest and fastest growing parts of this island. The needs of the communities I represent are many and varied but the one thing that comes back time and again is dissatisfaction with the quality and frequency of...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: SME Energy and Carbon Demands, Green Initiatives and Technology: Discussion (27 Sep 2023)

Louise O'Reilly: I thank all the witnesses for being here. I apologise for being a little late; I had a Topical Issue in the Dáil Chamber. This is very interesting. When I read through the submissions yesterday, I noted that a fair amount of work is being done, but there is also a thread running through both the submissions. I do not think it is a reluctance on behalf of EI's client companies; I...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: SME Energy and Carbon Demands, Green Initiatives and Technology: Discussion (27 Sep 2023)

Louise O'Reilly: Yes, that is a challenge.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: SME Energy and Carbon Demands, Green Initiatives and Technology: Discussion (27 Sep 2023)

Louise O'Reilly: Will Mr. Clancy update the committee with the results of the kickstarter programme?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: SME Energy and Carbon Demands, Green Initiatives and Technology: Discussion (27 Sep 2023)

Louise O'Reilly: I thank Mr. Lowe. In terms of the training and the conversations that are taking place, it strikes me that there are a number of ways to do this. Maybe there are not, however, and I am coming at this the wrong way. While one obviously has to look at the process, one also have to look at the people who are working in the companies, even in small companies. Is it part of the process to do...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: SME Energy and Carbon Demands, Green Initiatives and Technology: Discussion (27 Sep 2023)

Louise O'Reilly: Is everyone, not just the owner, involved in the education piece? Is it the intention to bring everybody into the mix on that?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: SME Energy and Carbon Demands, Green Initiatives and Technology: Discussion (27 Sep 2023)

Louise O'Reilly: It had a definite stop date.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: SME Energy and Carbon Demands, Green Initiatives and Technology: Discussion (27 Sep 2023)

Louise O'Reilly: To be fair, the time is probably now but the question is how to convey that sense of urgency. There was a big ticking clock with Brexit. There is a big clicking clock with climate action but it just does not seem to be translating. That is not a reflection on the work being done because it appears a lot of work is being done. Perhaps it is more of a societal thing than a business thing. ...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: SME Energy and Carbon Demands, Green Initiatives and Technology: Discussion (27 Sep 2023)

Louise O'Reilly: Okay.

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

Louise O'Reilly: They are not agreed. Yesterday Fórsa, SIPTU and the INMO announced three weeks' notice of their intention to take industrial action in the voluntary and community sector. They have been in discussions to resolve this dispute for years. This matter is now incredibly urgent for service users and for their families who rely on these agencies for supports, day services and respite...
