Central Statistics Office Sexual Violence Survey 2022: Statements (17 May 2023)

Ivana Bacik: .... We see these issues again in this survey. Less than half of adults, 47%, who experienced sexual violence in their lifetime told someone about it.

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (16 May 2023)

Ivana Bacik: ...She spoke of a cross-governmental approach but there is no sense of leadership from the Taoiseach on this matter.

I have been pushing for the use of...

Given that national security is a concern for all of us,...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (25 Apr 2023)

Ceisteanna - Questions: Public Sector Reform Review (18 Apr 2023)

Ivana Bacik: In light of yesterday's judgment by the Special Criminal Court, I think we would all agree that organised crime is a key strategic policy concern across Irish society. I commend the work of the Garda in the wake of the Hutch-Kinahan feud and note there have been no murders in the last four years in that regard. I also note that two convictions were secured in the court yesterday. The...

We are facing a social disaster and a potential tsunami of evictions in this country, with a return to the heartbreaking scenes we had some years ago of children having to sleep on the floor of Garda stations.
