Ivana Bacik: I will keep my comments briefer then. I commend Deputy Matthews on bringing forward this Bill. I am delighted to support it on behalf of the Labour Party.

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (11 Jul 2023)

Ivana Bacik: The Taoiseach spoke earlier about today's Housing for All update for July. He said it showed that the Government is succeeding in meeting targets. The reality, however, whatever the spin, is that the Government is failing. First, targets are simply too low to meet existing needs. Second, on the most stark metric, we are seeing the figures for homelessness rising, with more than 12,400...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (11 Jul 2023)

Ivana Bacik: I commend the "RTÉ Investigates" team for its programme last night. It showed very distressing footage of the brutal ill-treatment of bull calves and awful scenes of calves being dragged around, hit with sticks and kicked. It would be worthwhile to have a debate this week, as others have called for, on animal welfare, live animal transportation and, crucially, the enforcement of...
