Accommodation for International Protection Applicants: Motion [Private Members] (21 Mar 2024)

Aodhán Ó Ríordáin: ...I used to hear when I was in the Department at the time - not the same Department as the Minister's but the Department that was dealing with this issue - was pull factor, pull factor, pull factor. I feel there is a percentage of thought within the permanent government that wants to see images of people in tents in Mount Street because it suits the agenda of "Do not come here". I...

Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation Accounts 2022
Vote 20 - An Garda Síochána
(21 Mar 2024)

Alan Kelly: I am aware of that. Does the Garda Commissioner feel he would be better able to perform his function if that post was permanently filled?

Pre-European Council Meeting: Statements (20 Mar 2024)

Brendan Howlin: ...the comments of the Taoiseach in the United States last week coming in tandem with the remarks of Senator Chuck Schumer, a long-standing ally of Israel. I hope they had an impact in the US but I feel they will have no impact on the Netanyahu government. This week Europe must do more. Even the most ardent supporters of Israel know that the nation's onslaught against the entire population...

Seanad: Research and Innovation Bill 2024: Second Stage (20 Mar 2024)

Annie Hoey: ...and social sciences on an equal status to the STEM disciplines and to provide equal funding opportunities for all fields. It is not just because I am an arts graduate myself and therefore I feel somewhat sympathetic to the cohort that studies these subjects, but I do think it is very important that a balance is found. I am excited to see this at the core of the Bill, alongside the...

Nature Restoration Law: Statements (7 Mar 2024)

Gerald Nash: ..., they deserve honesty and leadership from their politicians. We can bring about equitable solutions to this challenge, ones which do reduce inequality and provide business opportunities sustainably, rather than increasing pressure on our planet. How would we feel if we thought the environment around us was in danger to such a degree that the plants and animals we no longer notice around...

Supporting People with Disabilities and Carers: Motion [Private Members] (5 Mar 2024)

Duncan Smith: ...and striving for services and respite heard that the Government was holding a referendum on and was paying attention to this matter, but they were then presented with the wording has been brought forward. Those people feel that they have not been listened to for years and that his is another example of them not being listened to. What has been put forward will not go any way towards...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: Allocations of Special Education Teachers: Discussion (5 Mar 2024)

Aodhán Ó Ríordáin: ...have to accept this and go from school to school, sometimes going to up to 20 schools. We now have this new provision from the Department. I do not want to be unfair to the Department, but I feel this is an area that it does not embrace, love or celebrate. It feels like it is a massive drag on the resources and the money it needs to spend. I know that because even within the system...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Arson Attacks: Discussion (5 Mar 2024) See 2 other results from this debate

Aodhán Ó Ríordáin: ...place in the House. During it, quite a number of political groupings focused on issues with the immigration system, the failures of that system, communication issues and all the rest of it. I feel we have reached the point where there is almost a legitimacy being given to those who block roads, board buses or protest outside people's homes. I was a bit taken aback that the outcry about...

Report of Joint Committee on Gender Equality: Motion (29 Feb 2024)

Ivana Bacik: ...for the first time is shocked. It is that visceral response we need to think about during the debate over the next week. I will be engaging in a number of debates and putting the yes-yes side. As one colleague told me, it is a matter for us to reflect on how we would feel on International Women’s Day, and two days later on Mothers’ Day, if there were a no vote on the...

Child and Youth Mental Health: Statements (29 Feb 2024)

Duncan Smith: ..., we know those issues are growing faster than we can keep up with. We require prompt intervention and comprehensive support for children, not waiting lists that are trebling while families are left feeling isolated. Every day that passes without an intervention exacerbates and compounds the suffering of our young people who are dealing with mental health issues. A particular issue...

Seanad: Community Safety and Investment: Motion [Private Members] (28 Feb 2024) See 3 other results from this debate

Rebecca Moynihan: ...number of Gardaí leaving the service; - there are real and growing concerns about safety in Dublin city centre across all demographics, gender, sexuality and ethnicity, with those from certain minority backgrounds feeling particularly threatened; - Ireland’s urban centres, such as Dublin, Cork, Limerick and Galway, are home to diverse and culturally rich communities;...

Select Committee on Education and Skills: Research and Innovation Bill 2024: Committee Stage (28 Feb 2024)

Seán Sherlock: ...to focus on job creation. I am again seeking comfort from the Minister. I know he gave a lot of comfort on Second Stage to the arts, humanities and social sciences, and the need to ensure the IRC does not feel like the poor relation. When you are enjoining two cultures, one culture should not feel it is subservient to the other and, by extension, that the arts, humanities and social...

Mental Health (Amendment) Bill 2023: Second Stage (Resumed) [Private Members] (27 Feb 2024)

Duncan Smith: ...multidisciplinary mental health assessment and treatment". However, we are frequently not seeing care provided even where such a disorder is present. Many families are facing this barrier and we feel that children with autism are being frozen out of the system and denied treatment. The responsibility is passed on to someone else rather than CAMHS trying to tackle more complex issues. ...

Recent Arson Attacks: Statements (27 Feb 2024)

Aodhán Ó Ríordáin: Let us return to what this topic is actually about. In a debate like this, when we discuss the road blockers, protesters and people who feel they get on buses to check passports, we are actually talking about domestic terrorism when we talk about people setting stuff on fire. While it is open season for people from the Government and, indeed, from the Opposition to start talking about the...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (27 Feb 2024)

Annie Hoey: ...compiled by AsIAm and Inclusion Ireland. The report contains survey results which show that 35% of disabled children endure seclusion and 27% suffer restraint at school. Children have a right to feel safe at school. AsIAm and Inclusion Ireland have called for guidance and regulations in schools. Anyone who saw the reporting on this since then would be horrified to think that children...

Health (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2024: Second Stage (21 Feb 2024)

Duncan Smith: ...HSE, must be brought to fruition. The IPU has welcomed this legislation. As the Minister knows, the IPU has long advocated on behalf of patients for the introduction of these measures. The IPU feels, as I do, that the full expertise of Ireland's community pharmacists has long been an untapped resource. These service expansions will support patients to access treatments more quickly...

Healthcare Provision in Rural Communities: Motion [Private Members] (21 Feb 2024)

Duncan Smith: ...and cities all over the country. Many families will have had the same GP for decades. It is not unusual for a GP to take care of multiple generations of the same family. For many people, GPs feel like an extension of the family. They are a constant and someone they trust who provides them with a positive and trusted gateway into the wider health service. This is people are so...

Paediatric Orthopaedic and Urology Services: Motion [Private Members] (20 Feb 2024)

Duncan Smith: ...on private health insurance. Private health insurance cannot become a synonym for good healthcare. With waiting lists as long as they are, there is a perception that people need private health insurance because people feel that without it they might not get any care, especially the care they need. It has certainly become the case for paediatric and orthopaedic and urology services. The...

Seanad: Situation in the Middle East: Statements (Resumed) (20 Feb 2024)

Mark Wall: ...right to intervene and say this is wrong and should not be happening and that there is a future, but that future has to start shortly. I welcome his statement tonight but the helplessness the Irish people feel has to be acknowledged and supported.I welcome the Private Members' motion tabled by the Civil Engagement Group, which we will debate tomorrow night. That debate will give us...
