Gambling Regulation Bill 2022: Report Stage (24 Apr 2024)

Aodhán Ó Ríordáin: ...leads to a bizarre, nonsensical and unacceptable conclusion. Are we meant to believe the Oireachtas can legislate against misuse of drugs, for example, but opium dens should be exempted from the law so long as they charge a membership fee at the door, or that clubs on St. Stephen's Green can constitutionally ignore the liquor licensing laws? I believe this interpretation of the...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: School Enrolments (30 Nov 2023)

Aodhán Ó Ríordáin: ...contribution is linked to full engagement in school life, and they may suggest that it is voluntary but it is not.

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: School Enrolments (30 Nov 2023)

Aodhán Ó Ríordáin: ...school. The parents from that school will be very appreciative of those efforts. It is quite outrageous that a school would say a mistake was made in making the connection between the payment of fee and the enrolment of a child. No parent involved in that scenario is ever going to put their hand up and say that they think this practice is wrong. The parent would be more worried about...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Courts Staff (11 Oct 2023)

Aodhán Ó Ríordáin: ...two weeks ago, there would not have been the loss of an entire day of criminal cases. The Bar Council was not in any way aware of any move by the Government to do any sort of restoration of fees. If the Minister had said to the Bar Council two weeks ago what she has just said to me, its day of action would not have occurred, which was flagged on 12 July. As outlined in the budgetary...

Aodhán Ó Ríordáin: ..., and an absolute ban on voluntary contributions. They need free school transport, and they also need other things to be provided for them such as childcare.

Aodhán Ó Ríordáin: ...much appreciate the comments of the Minister on the former Minister, Niamh Breathnach. I know her family will as well. One of the radical things she did as Minister for Education was to abolish fees, something from which I benefited, as did many of my colleagues and friends.
