Ivana Bacik: The Taoiseach has outlined some of the work of the shared island initiative. Dealing with legacy is an important part of the work being done.

I ask in particular about the...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Disability Services (10 Jun 2025)

Ivana Bacik: I welcome the proposals we have seen, which I believe went to the Cabinet today, to create nearly 500 new third level places in key health and social professions, including physiotherapy, occupational therapy and more. As I said, this is welcome because we all recognise the enormous shortfall in services. The concern remains that it will take years for these new places to generate more...

Ceisteanna - Questions: European Council (10 Jun 2025)

Ivana Bacik: On Ukraine, I condemn outright Russia's increasingly heavy and brutal bombardment of civilian infrastructure. We have seen more civilian casualties in Kharkiv and Kyiv in recent days.

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (10 Jun 2025)

Ivana Bacik: Yesterday's arrest by Israel of those aboard the Madleen freedom flotilla ship while in international waters was a flagrant breach of international law. Those taken by Israeli forces are brave activists, bringing symbolic aid to a people who have been abandoned by the world. The activists hold EU citizenship and one is an MEP.

Ivana Bacik: We can all agree that certainty, clarity and consistency are needed for those renting, those looking to buy a home and those looking to build and develop homes. That is precisely what is lacking in the Taoiseach's own Government's policy. He is accusing the Opposition of being caught out but he has caught out his own backbenchers. He has flip-flopped on policy on rent pressure zones,...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (10 Jun 2025)

Ivana Bacik: I join others in expressing sympathies to all those affected by the school shooting in Austria of which we have just heard news. Back in February, someone in the Government was briefing the media about a proposed end to rent pressure zones. For years, the Government refused to contemplate designating the whole country as a rent pressure zone. Yesterday morning, the future of the entire...
