Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Security, Recruitment and Training at Dublin Airport: Discussion (14 Jun 2023)

Louise O'Reilly: Will Mr. Jacobs come back directly to me on that?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Security, Recruitment and Training at Dublin Airport: Discussion (14 Jun 2023)

Louise O'Reilly: These are not my words by the way. I live in the area but I do not live close to the airport. The airport's neighbours, however, say that the level of engagement has been nothing short of atrocious. They say that there has been no effective engagement. That is what they are saying. I have spoken to them. I appreciate that Mr. Jacobs will say the airport is a good neighbour, and that is...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Security, Recruitment and Training at Dublin Airport: Discussion (14 Jun 2023)

Louise O'Reilly: To discuss the issue of the runway.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Security, Recruitment and Training at Dublin Airport: Discussion (14 Jun 2023)

Louise O'Reilly: I know. I am sorry if I was not clear. It was not a general meeting, I refer to a meeting specifically to discuss the runway issue. I am aware that we cannot discuss it here because we are in a public forum, but the DAA will not be in a public forum at the community liaison group. I do not believe there are any constraints on that. As Mr. Jacobs has said, the DAA will liaise with me and...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Security, Recruitment and Training at Dublin Airport: Discussion (14 Jun 2023)

Louise O'Reilly: Absolutely. To be clear, the people I represent have been looking for this meeting for months. The witnesses from the DAA will know that because the people have been seeking it from them. I just want to say that. I will move on to the issue of staffing. Reference was made to a recruitment campaign that is under way to recruit airport police. There was an issue with staffing. We do...

Louise O'Reilly: Nobody is saying that. People understand.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Security, Recruitment and Training at Dublin Airport: Discussion (14 Jun 2023)

Louise O'Reilly: Those figures are due to the staff and the hard work that is put in, as Mr. Jacobs said. I will add my own words because people have recounted their own personal experiences. My bag was lost in transit, not by DAA but by someone else, and I was in touch with a woman at the airport whose name is Michelle. I sent a message to her boss that she could not have been more efficient and she could...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Security, Recruitment and Training at Dublin Airport: Discussion (14 Jun 2023)

Louise O'Reilly: I have a final question regarding how the DAA has no intention of introducing charges for dropping off. I ask this in the context of the issues around parking, because all the issues are not gone. Not everyone will get a space. People will have to be dropped off if they cannot access public transport. If the DAA is not going to introduce those charges in the short, medium or long term -...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Security, Recruitment and Training at Dublin Airport: Discussion (14 Jun 2023)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Security, Recruitment and Training at Dublin Airport: Discussion (14 Jun 2023)

Louise O'Reilly: I will. I thank the Minister.

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Early Childhood Care and Education (13 Jun 2023)

Louise O'Reilly: I thank the Minister, Deputy O'Gorman, not just for being here to take this matter but also for liaising with my office when he could not be here on a previous occasion when the issue was discussed. This arises out of a question I raised directly with the Taoiseach during Questions on Promised Legislation in regard to after-school care for children with additional needs. The norm for most...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Early Childhood Care and Education (13 Jun 2023)

Louise O'Reilly: I thank the Minister for his response. I am a big supporter of AIM. Its objectives are very worthwhile. These parents, however, are facing a cliff edge, and they are not the only ones. There are quite a number of them in my area. They are facing a cliff edge in July. Their children, effectively, will be excluded from access to summer camps, to after-school activities, and to...
