Louise O'Reilly: ...still do much more in our efforts to protect victims of sexual offences, be that in their treatment by the courts, and in increasing funding to services to deal with the victims of such crimes.

Louise O'Reilly: ...to get a passport for my daughter, who was born before my husband and I were married. It was many years ago and much has changed in this State since then.

It felt disrespectful to my family that we did not fit in...

Questions on Promised Legislation (6 Jul 2017)

Louise O'Reilly: The programme for Government contains a commitment to reopen six Garda stations on a pilot scheme basis. Recently, it was mooted that Rush Garda station would be one of those.

There seemed to be a frantic rush to bring in this scheme, to the extent that we got approval in the early hours of the morning for self-certification for Garda clearance to be used.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Quarterly Update On Health Issues: Discussion (10 Nov 2016)

Louise O'Reilly: What does the Minister call the deal that was done with the Garda? A deal was done with the Garda which will cost more than €60 million.

That is the argument the Minister is making, that if he settles a dispute with the INMO he will have to cut the services somewhere else.

Public Sector Pay: Motion [Private Members] (8 Nov 2016)

Louise O'Reilly: ...people seated on the other side who represented the Government that these claims could not be processed during the lifetime of the Lansdowne Road agreement because they would have a cost-increasing effect.

Government Appeal of European Commission Decision on State Aid to Apple: Motion (7 Sep 2016)

Louise O'Reilly: ...on this ruling, members of the public service remain crippled under the weight of the pension-related deduction.

Louise O'Reilly: ...on the Bill is already known. We believe the Bill is flawed and that it addresses only a tiny part of what is a massive jigsaw.

They want to know when the school will be built. They are not...
