Seanad: Road Traffic Bill 2024: Second Stage (21 Mar 2024)

Rebecca Moynihan: I thank the Minister of State. I welcome the introduction of this Bill as a step towards achieving a reduction in road deaths and, I hope, greater public safety on our roads. The importance of the Bill cannot be overstated at this moment as we have seen a 19% rise in road deaths in the past five years. It represents 184 lives lost, 180 families affected and 184 communities devastated by...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (20 Mar 2024)

Rebecca Moynihan: It would be remiss of me not to wish An Taoiseach, Leo Varadkar, all the best as he resigns and embarks on a new chapter in his life. It is always a big day in the Houses of the Oireachtas when a Taoiseach resigns, and we were all taken aback today by the resignation of Leo Varadkar. Even though he and I come from opposite ends of the political spectrum, he was always a politician of...

Seanad: Private Rental Sector: Motion (6 Mar 2024)

Rebecca Moynihan: I thank the Sinn Féin Senators for tabling the motion because renters are often overlooked in the debate on housing. They have come to the forefront now because they are paying sky-high rent while knowing every day that they are living in insecurity. Landlords can evict them if they sell up. Renters must wonder whether that eviction will then make them part of the 13,531 people who...

Seanad: International Women's Day: Statements (6 Mar 2024)

Rebecca Moynihan: I am sharing my time with Senator Flynn. I thank the Minister. I am delighted to see him and I welcome him to the Chamber. The statements on International Women's Day make me a little uncomfortable because, in the past few years, they have been very bound up in girlboss feminism or spend-money feminism. Listening to Senator Keogan, I was actually reminded of why the statements are so...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Update on Homelessness: Discussion (5 Mar 2024)

Rebecca Moynihan: I thank the Chair. I am not sure I will have enough questions for the length of time everyone will be gone for. I would like to thank the witnesses for coming in and making the presentations and for the work that you do, particularly the Dublin Region Homeless Executive. My office is practically in weekly contact with the Dublin Region Homeless Executive and it can be very good and very...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Update on Homelessness: Discussion (5 Mar 2024)

Rebecca Moynihan: Absolutely. We ended up getting him sorted with longer-term accommodation but he was refused by the hostel person on that particular night. Those things can sometimes happen when people are using private hostels. How many of the Dublin Region Homeless Executive hostels are run by private companies or have private security involved in them?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Update on Homelessness: Discussion (5 Mar 2024)

Rebecca Moynihan: For families with children who present within the homeless system, what is the average length of time for them to be classified as homeless?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Update on Homelessness: Discussion (5 Mar 2024)

Rebecca Moynihan: Another issue that flares up is that couples who are long-term homeless find it very difficult to find homeless accommodation for couples. Are there plans to expand couples accommodation or how many hostels offer couples accommodation?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Update on Homelessness: Discussion (5 Mar 2024)

Rebecca Moynihan: I understand Senator Fitzpatrick would like to come in at this point.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Update on Homelessness: Discussion (5 Mar 2024)

Rebecca Moynihan: To explore that further, does that mean more people in long-term homelessness are exiting? What is the profile of the people who are exiting homelessness at that stage?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Update on Homelessness: Discussion (5 Mar 2024)

Rebecca Moynihan: I would not mind getting this on the record, particularly in terms of Housing First. One of the things that we come across all the time is that when housing developments are proposed, everybody says there are too many one-bedroom units. What is the breakdown of people who exit homeless accommodation who need one-bedroom units? With regard to the progress on Housing First, it was based on...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Update on Homelessness: Discussion (5 Mar 2024)

Rebecca Moynihan: That is interesting. I thank Ms Hayes and Mr. Durkan.

Seanad: Community Safety and Investment: Motion [Private Members] (28 Feb 2024)

Rebecca Moynihan: I move: That Seanad Éireann: acknowledges that: - An Garda Síochána play a vital role in ensuring our communities are safe, law and order is upheld, and community well-being is maintained; - there is a crisis of morale within An Garda Síochána resulting in a significant number of Gardaí leaving the service; - there are real and growing concerns about safety...

Seanad: Community Safety and Investment: Motion [Private Members] (28 Feb 2024)

Rebecca Moynihan: Sorry, we will do six, five and five.

Seanad: Community Safety and Investment: Motion [Private Members] (28 Feb 2024)

Rebecca Moynihan: I welcome the students from west Cork and Zoe from the National Traveller Women's forum who is here with Senator Flynn. Across all communities and demographics, people are expressing a growing feeling of unsafety. People in working class communities feel unsafe in their neighbourhoods, the LGBTQ community reports increased levels of hate and related threats and violence and ethnic...

Seanad: Community Safety and Investment: Motion [Private Members] (28 Feb 2024)

Rebecca Moynihan: I thank Members for their engagement on the motion and their support of it. Most of them particularly recognised the focus on community policing in it, which the Minister referenced in her speech. Unfortunately, as regards how she referred to it, I do not think she got what community policing is. She talked about how, in policing, all police will be community police. While that may seem...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Defective Blocks Scheme: Discussion (27 Feb 2024)

Rebecca Moynihan: I am happy to cede my time to anybody from the relevant constituencies and areas if they want to come in. I see Deputy Mac Lochlainn for example. I happy to give some of my time to them if that will help keep to 90 minutes.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Defective Blocks Scheme: Discussion (27 Feb 2024)

Rebecca Moynihan: What I intended was to give over my time to some people who probably needed more time. I think Senator Fitzpatrick explained that the idea behind this meeting was that it was going to be the initial meeting with affected homeowners and residents, and then we were going to do a follow-up with the State agencies that are responsible. With that in mind, the questions I have crafted are quite...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Defective Blocks Scheme: Discussion (27 Feb 2024)

Rebecca Moynihan: That is a really good explanation, and that is exactly what I was wondering. I wanted that explored a little bit more for us to be able to put it to them.

Seanad: Local Government (Mayor of Limerick) and Miscellaneous Provisions Bill 2023: Report and Final Stages (21 Feb 2024)

Rebecca Moynihan: I second the amendment.
