- Seanad: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (17 Jul 2024)
Paul Gavan: That is a fair point. I am going to try to be brief because we want to get through as much as we can. I will start by saying that Sinn Féin is extremely disappointed with how the Minister is dealing with the Bill. He produced hundreds of amendments on Report Stage in the Dáil, with no opportunity for people to scrutinise them. There are hundreds of amendments here that we simply...

- Seanad: Better Planning for Local Childcare Provision: Motion (17 Jul 2024)
Paul Gavan: It is good to see the Minister and he is very welcome. I commend Senator Currie on raising this topic. It is very important and close to my heart. I worked on the SIPTU campaign on recognition for a number of years.We had a really good meeting with SIPTU representatives the week before last, and Senator McGreehan was in attendance on the day. I agree with Senator Currie on the broad scope...
- Seanad: Better Planning for Local Childcare Provision: Motion (17 Jul 2024)
Paul Gavan: I hope we all agree on that. In saying that, I mean no disrespect to the Minister. As I have said, I believe he has made a good start but the problem is that the workers are stuck now. They are still stuck on rates of pay that are far too low. I am not sure that the Minister has the capacity under the current model to fix that. Therefore, I ask him to have the courage to embrace the call...

Paul Gavan: I move amendment No. 86: In page 70, line 28, to delete “Government” and substitute “Oireachtas”. I will speak about two amendments in this grouping, namely amendments Nos. 86 and 106. Amendment No. 86 is straightforward. We are simply suggesting that the word "Government" be deleted and replaced with the word "Oireachtas". It is fairly self-explanatory....
