Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Carbon Budgets and Climate Action Plan: Engagement with Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications (16 Nov 2021)

Réada Cronin: I hope I have pronounced his name properly. He was talking about the blood copper, the blood lithium and the cobalt. He is absolutely right. There is too much greenwashing. There is too much razzle-dazzle and appeasement and not enough hard facts. It is up to the Government to speak about that when they are at the COP. It is up to the governments to do that, not the lobbyists. I was...

Road Traffic and Roads Bill 2021: Second Stage (Resumed) (11 Nov 2021)

Réada Cronin: I welcome the opportunity to speak on the Bill. Sinn Féin will table amendments to certain aspects of it. When it comes to the dangerous and antisocial use of scramblers and quads it is good to see the Government is taking Sinn Féin's lead and making provision for something that is a scourge on many communities. On this side of the House we have been told for a long time it could...

Parental Bereavement Leave (Amendment) Bill 2021: First Stage (10 Nov 2021)

Réada Cronin: I move: That leave be granted to introduce a Bill entitled an Act to amend the Parental Leave Acts 1998 and 2006 to make provision for an entitlement to bereavement leave to an employee who is a bereaved parent of a child who has died and to provide for related matters. I will share time with Deputy Louise O'Reilly. It is rare for Deputies to get to present a Bill to the Dáil. I...

National Surplus (Reserve Fund for Exceptional Contingencies) Act 2019: Motion (9 Nov 2021)

Réada Cronin: As has already been stated, Sinn Féin will support this motion. As Deputies will know, we rejected the Act after our proposals on housing, for example, were rejected and it was decided the capital injection could be used for banking, the most over-injected, overindulged, perennially pampered sector in the State and one that still pays no tax. Given that we are dealing with a full-blown...

Written Answers — Department of Health: Vaccination Programme (9 Nov 2021)

Réada Cronin: 558. To ask the Minister for Health his Department’s plan for Covid-19 booster shots for healthcare workers; if the vaccines necessary are currently available; if the same or a different vaccine to the first two doses will be administered as a booster; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [54030/21]

Animal Health and Welfare (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2021: Second Stage (4 Nov 2021)

Réada Cronin: I too welcome this Bill and Sinn Féin will support it. It is fair to say there is widespread and growing unease at the use of animal furs in clothing and the reduction of an animal to a pelt, a fashion accessory or a symbol of wealth and status. Growing up, I remember the protests about fur on the catwalks and the banners that read "It takes...[50] dumb animals to make [this]...coat....

Written Answers — Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection: State Pensions (4 Nov 2021)

Réada Cronin: 313. To ask the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection if there are plans to make emergency foster carers eligible for the State pension (contributory); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [53943/21]

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (3 Nov 2021)

Réada Cronin: Since I raised in the House recently the impact on women and children of assessments under section 47 of the Family Law Act 1995, I have had a flood of contacts from yet more mothers and accredited practitioners in the psychological services outlining disturbing experiences of women and their children assessed under this process. One eminent practitioner is very anxious about mothers...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Women's Shelters and Domestic Abuse Refuges: Discussion (3 Nov 2021)

Réada Cronin: I thank the witnesses for their presentations. I listened intently. Unfortunately, I am not a member of the committee so I did not receive the opening addresses but I listened to their presentations, for which I thank them. I am a Sinn Féin Deputy in north Kildare. My comrade in south Kildare wanted to join the meeting as well but, unfortunately, she had another meeting to attend....

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Reduction of Carbon Emissions of 51% by 2030: Discussion (Resumed) (2 Nov 2021)

Réada Cronin: I am on the premises of Leinster House. It has been a really encouraging session. They are not always as encouraging. Sometimes we feel as though we are standing in front of the sea, telling it to stop. It has been encouraging to hear our guests' wisdom, the meitheal and the humility in regard to the planet, regarding the earth as a provider and producer that has to keep going. If the...

Written Answers — Department of Justice and Equality: Deportation Orders (2 Nov 2021)

Réada Cronin: 740. To ask the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice and Equality if she will meet with a person (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [52480/21]

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Reduction of Carbon Emissions of 51% by 2030: Discussion (Resumed) (2 Nov 2021)

Réada Cronin: I would like to say I love Irish apples. I did not have a question for Mr. Traas. My last question was for Dr. Moran.

Child and Family Agency (Amendment) Bill 2021: Second Stage (Resumed) (21 Oct 2021)

Réada Cronin: I wish to reinforce what my comrade, Teachta Ó Laoghaire, talked about yesterday when we were discussing this Bill and the importance of the home liaison programme and the school completion programme. The home school liaison officers often save futures and sometimes even save lives. They can be the lifeline not just for a child but for whole families and the younger siblings coming up...
