Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: UCD Ukraine Trauma Project: Discussion (25 Jun 2024)

Réada Cronin: It shows how the arts can help as well in dealing with trauma, creating something out of something so horrible as a bullet. I agree with the witnesses in that we do have a great tradition in Ireland of volunteerism and the GAA is a huge example. We have the Maynooth community first responders in my own community who are all volunteers. As we use our political capital in the world to speak...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Animal Welfare (20 Jun 2024)

Réada Cronin: I thank the Minister of State. I heard the same thing this morning about how everyone is appalled and upset and that we now have a criminal investigation and a departmental investigation. To be honest, it seems to be handy cover for the Minister and the Government. The Department of agriculture has serious questions to answer. These questions are just as serious as those for the company....

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Animal Welfare (20 Jun 2024)

Réada Cronin: I received an email today saying that the Minister would not be here to take Topical Issues. It is increasingly the case that Ministers do not appear to take Topical Issues. They are answerable to the Dáil and should be present. However, I appreciate that the deputy leader of Fianna Fáil is here to take questions. I am raising the horrific situation at Shannonside Foods in...

Child Care (Amendment) Bill 2024: Second Stage (19 Jun 2024)

Réada Cronin: I am glad to speak on this Stage. Reform is much-needed in the sector and is welcome, but what is proposed in the Bill is not at all adequate. It lacks the necessary and broad consultation with our childminders, who are a fundamental and critical cohort. Our childminders have virtually been ignored in this process despite having a wealth of experience and wisdom on the issue of childcare....

Carers: Motion [Private Members] (18 Jun 2024)

Réada Cronin: I thank Deputy Tully for the motion. I am glad to speak on it because I feel as though I am speaking for the army of invisible people who work 24-7, relying on the extremely modest carer's allowance, with many unable to make ends meet. They are kept under constant scrutiny by the State for that payment, a State that seems more intent on catching them out in some way than helping them,...

International Protection, Asylum and Migration: Motion (18 Jun 2024)

Réada Cronin: I am opposed to a full opt-in to this pact because there are so many aspects of it that are not in Ireland's interests. The all-or-nothing approach taken by the Government is reckless, unnecessary and mystifying. Why did the Government not look at this pact and decide to opt out of what is not good for us? Why is it not the Government's automatic reaction to put Ireland's interests over...
