Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (29 May 2024)

Aodhán Ó Ríordáin: The Taoiseach has accepted some of the Government's failures but I would not put them at the feet of just the Department. The Minister stood here and said 33% of schools would have a disadvantage in their allocation of hours under the model that was suggested and there was no adequate consultation but the Taoiseach is working to correct that. On the rates of people with disabilities in...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (29 May 2024)

Aodhán Ó Ríordáin: -----if people would give me the opportunity. On Monday, with our local Labour representative Patrick Dempsey, I was privileged to visit the SAOL Hub in Ballyfermot Community Civic Centre run by Stewarts Care. We heard first-hand the challenges facing young adults with disabilities - the under-resourcing and lack of opportunities. As the Taoiseach knows, disabled people are at a much...

Ireland's Recognition of the State of Palestine: Statements (28 May 2024)

Aodhán Ó Ríordáin: I congratulate the Government on taking this decision. It is of some historic significance and I know the Government will have come under pressure not to do so. Ireland once sought international recognition and so we are proud today to stand with Palestine to help it take its place among the nations of the world. I commend the Tánaiste, in particular, on the manner in which he has...

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (16 May 2024)

Aodhán Ó Ríordáin: I raise again the issue of DEIS plus. The proposal for DEIS plus comes from a number of school principals in Ballymun, Tallaght and Dublin 17 which is in my constituency. They suggest that we need extra trauma-based supports for the most acutely disadvantaged schools in the country. Approximately 100 such schools have been identified nationwide. I know the Government often says to me that...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (16 May 2024)

Aodhán Ó Ríordáin: I do not know what question the Tánaiste was answering but he was not answering mine. In the Fine Gael video, they did not have the courage to say "sick pay" out loud. The Tánaiste did not say it out loud either in his answer to me. If he and I are too sick to come to work, we get paid anyway, but low-paid workers in insecure, low-paid jobs, who are predominantly young people,...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (16 May 2024)

Aodhán Ó Ríordáin: I am not sure if the Tánaiste saw the Fine Gael video posted online yesterday about their 15 ways to help business. I saw it; I watch little else these days. The Minister for Public Expenditure, National Development Plan Delivery and Reform, Deputy Paschal Donohoe, starts to speak at point No. 12. He writes the words "Sick Pay" on a flip chart. He then goes on to say, "We are going...

Progressing Special Education Provision: Statements (9 May 2024)

Aodhán Ó Ríordáin: The recently published NCSE policy document, which is called An Inclusive Education for an Inclusive Society, details a level of research that was done to try to move the country towards a more inclusive education system in the future, where all children with mild general learning disabilities, MGLD, and other disabilities will be catered for in their own local school and only children with...

Europe Day: Statements (8 May 2024)

Aodhán Ó Ríordáin: I am proud to have the opportunity to contribute to this debate on behalf of the Labour Party. Robert Schuman, a Luxembourger by birth and a German by heritage, spent his life contributing to French politics. Like many of his generation, the experience of two world wars that devastated the Continent drove his determination to forge a Europe bound by trust, respect and peace rather than...

European Union Migration and Asylum Pact: Motion [Private Members] (1 May 2024)

Aodhán Ó Ríordáin: On behalf of the Labour Party, we want to show solidarity with the Minister of Justice and with her family, after the difficulties she went through last week, and indeed, with the Minister, Deputy O'Gorman. This is the inevitable consequence of people in political life and people with influence not tempering their language and making their case or arguments in a more restrained manner. Over...

Supports for Survivors of Residential Institutional Abuse Bill 2024: Second Stage (30 Apr 2024)

Aodhán Ó Ríordáin: I apologise; I may need to leave the Chamber as the Joint Committee on Justice is sitting at the same time. The Bill has two main purposes: to enable the provision of certain health and educational supports to survivors of abuse in residential institutions; and to dissolve the Residential Institutions Statutory Fund Board, commonly known as Caranua. The Bill provides for the amendment of...
