Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (9 May 2023)

Ivana Bacik: I raise the issue of Russians ships off our coast, as others have done. I express concern about this. It is of a particular concern when we note just how brutally Russia continues to bombard Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities this week, more than a year after the brutal invasion of Ukraine.

One...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (9 May 2023)

Ivana Bacik: Finding solutions of course should be the priority but the Taoiseach's Government has patently failed to find necessary solutions. Time after time we hear the Taoiseach say that family homelessness and child homelessness is a stain on our society as if he was an observer. The Taoiseach is in government and has been in government for several terms. The Taoiseach needs to ensure that action...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (9 May 2023)

Ivana Bacik: The Taoiseach will be aware of the appalling situation for Micheline Walsh and her husband facing homelessness in Dublin in their late 70s with nowhere to go after being served with an eviction notice. The local Labour councillor Peter O'Brien is now assisting this family but, unfortunately, they are not the only ones. It is unconscionable to see that 175 people over 65, pensioners,...
