Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: International Agreements (25 Apr 2024)

Joan Collins: Okay. I was just about to look for a deferment. I am raising Ireland's position on establishing the United Nations framework convention on international tax co-operation. Last month, at a statement in Paris urging EU countries to support the new UN framework convention on international tax co-operation, we learned that global tax abuse will cost the EU €1 trillion over the next...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: International Agreements (25 Apr 2024)

Joan Collins: I will have to read that reply again as it got very convoluted. I will read it in detail because I want to come back to the Minister of State on it. It does not look to me as though Ireland's taken position is as positive as he has stated. All OECD members were part of the 48 countries that voted against the UN resolution. Those countries represent 15% of the world's population and are...

Acknowledgement and Apology to the Families and to the Victims of the Stardust Tragedy: Statements (23 Apr 2024)

Joan Collins: I want to start by quoting the headline of the article by Kitty Holland on "The full story of the Stardust fire", which is, "Jesus Christ, the doors are locked". That is what the survivors from the Stardust fire have been saying for more than 40 years. They were not believed. They were ignored and, as Antoinette Keegan has said, they have been systematically abused by the Irish...

Disability Justice: Motion [Private Members] (17 Apr 2024)

Joan Collins: I am sharing time with Deputy Harkin. I thank People Before Profit-Solidarity for presenting this Private Members' motion to the Dáil.

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

Joan Collins: I thank the Taoiseach. It has been 15 years since the crash. Until 2021, many of these workers had not even received a pay increase. The staffing community of voluntary organisations who are awarded the pay increase of 8% have not received it and have not been paid to date. That is outrageous. Why has it not been paid and when will it be paid? This needs to happen urgently. It...

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

Joan Collins: I agree with the last two speakers on the documentary last night on the O'Shea report but I want to raise the following issue.
