Rebecca Moynihan: ...group on behalf of the construction industry. It is not appropriate that it would be responsible for maintaining the register. We are supportive of the Sinn Féin amendment because it specifies where it feels the register should be.

Irish Apprenticeship System: Statements (26 May 2022)

Aodhán Ó Ríordáin: ...of Education and establishing a new Department was a good move. However, in fairness to the Minister of State, Deputy Collins, and the Minister, Deputy Harris, I think they have made it work. I feel they have placed a large emphasis on the area of apprenticeships and they have done good work in this space in the past two years. When work is done, when systemic issues have been tackled...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (25 May 2022) See 1 other result from this debate

Duncan Smith: ...the Department will adequately enforce section 37a notices to ensure that every child who needs a place is granted one. An AsIAm report showed that one quarter of parents of children with autism feel that they do not have an appropriate school place. While we wait for a review, I also wish to ask the Minister whether the Special Educational Needs Act 2004, the EPSEN Act, will finally be...

Seanad: National Minimum Wage (Payment of Interns) Bill 2022: Second Stage (25 May 2022)

Marie Sherlock: ...experienced by young workers on unpaid internships. These are workers who have the same responsibilities as full-time workers and of whom there are the same expectations but whose employers do not feel compelled to pay them. Some people will ask whether this Bill will apply to every training internship. The answer is "No". We have set out a very narrow number of scenarios to which this...

Seanad: Birth Information and Tracing Bill 2022: Committee Stage (Resumed) (24 May 2022)

Annie Hoey: ...remains conditional in certain cases on the holding of this information session. The Minister has spoken at the committee and in the Dáil of the need to balance information rights and privacy rights but we feel the retention of the mandatory information session means that privacy rights continue to trump identity rights. During pre-legislative scrutiny the committee unanimously...

Education (Admission to Schools) Bill 2020 Report: Motion (19 May 2022)

Aodhán Ó Ríordáin: ...the committee was: why does the provision exist if it is never used? The Minister knows how strongly my party, the Joint Committee on Education, Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science and I feel about this part of the Education (Admission to Schools) Act. I cannot speak to the genesis, motivations or lobbying behind it, but I know that it was sought by a particular...

Sick Leave Bill 2022: Report and Final Stages (18 May 2022) See 2 other results from this debate

Aodhán Ó Ríordáin: We debated this on Committee Stage as well. We feel this is a reasonable position for the Minister to be enabled to improve the situation and not to have to wait 12 months to do so. That is the purpose of the amendment.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Weighing of Fisheries Products: Discussion (18 May 2022)

Seán Sherlock: ...all move together in lockstep and the consultative committee would be the mechanism through which you would work through or triage all of these issues. The perception I have is that the industry feels it is on the back foot now. This is the perception, rightly or wrongly. It feels it is being put upon. As a layman in this respect, I fail to understand why the industry would have...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Bus Átha Cliath: Chairman Designate (18 May 2022) See 1 other result from this debate

Duncan Smith: ...with An Post, and now we have Dublin Bus. I loved to see Mr. Owens focus in his opening statement on continuing building the trust the people of Dublin have for this wonderful company, in which we feel invested and feel ownership of. I wish to raise a number of points. Obviously, this is a period of change in Dublin Bus. I am not sure if we will see him at this committee before he...

National Maternity Services: Motion [Private Members] (17 May 2022)

Duncan Smith: ...with the Minister, Deputy Stephen Donnelly, coming to briefings, to the Committee on Health and to the Dáil and just talking the clock and the days down until this moment. We wonder why people feel so cynical about politics and politicians and this has been thrown across the floor from Opposition to Government and from Government to Opposition. In recent months, I have been on...

Garda Síochána (Compensation) Bill 2021 [Seanad]: Second Stage (17 May 2022)

Brendan Howlin: .... The Minister is leading a significant reform agenda in respect of An Garda Síochána. I have said many positive things about gardaí, the esteem in which they are held and the sacrifices they have made. However, it is the nature of any disciplined force that often it circles the wagons and is inward-looking. All of us who have been in public life for a long time have...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (17 May 2022)

Ivana Bacik: ...with the Minister for Health, Deputy Stephen Donnelly. I, along with many of my party colleagues, attended the rally on Saturday and saw the immense concern, distress and worry that many people feel about the fact the hospital is to be built on land that is not ultimately going to be in public ownership. We in the Labour Party first raised the question of compulsory purchase five...

Marie Sherlock: ...will be out tomorrow and I can tell the House that the last place on this planet they want to be tomorrow is outside their hospitals with a placard. They want to be inside, doing their job, but they feel they have been so shamefully treated by the HSE and the Department of Health that they have been left with no option. I ask the Government representatives in the House to intervene and...

Seanad: Regulation of Display of Electoral and Polling Posters and Other Advertisements Bill 2022: Second Stage (17 May 2022)

Rebecca Moynihan: ...but that is mainly due to the exertion that goes with them. I had to chase after a poster of mine through two fields on Valentine's night in the middle of a freezing February. Everybody knows the feeling of losing an election and then taking down their posters and being dumped on by three-week-old rainwater when doing so. We receive phone calls from people saying there are either too...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: New National Maternity Hospital: Discussion (Resumed) (16 May 2022)

Annie Hoey: Ms Reynolds feels that that charitable purpose is watertight. I am just trying to tease this out because I know there are people listening to this who have raised these concerns, and I am as interested as they are in getting clarity on this. Do the witnesses foresee any situation whereby in 30 years' time, when, it is to be hoped, we will all still be around, this could happen?

National Maternity Hospital: Statements (12 May 2022)

Duncan Smith: Does Deputy Donnelly feel he was the first Minister to ask for the advice of the Attorney General on this in all the nine years?

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh – Priority Questions: Special Educational Needs (12 May 2022)

Aodhán Ó Ríordáin: ...school community. Can we work towards a scenario where the allocations will not be made in May next year? Can the Minister of State give a date on which the allocations will be released? If an SNA feels disrespected by the Department, he or she will continue to feel disrespected if this happens every single year and the Minister of State shows no ambition to change the position for...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Gender Equality: Recommendations of the Citizens’ Assembly on Gender Equality: Discussion (Resumed) (12 May 2022)

Ivana Bacik: Thank you. I think we all feel like giving Ms Exton a round of applause. That was very powerful.

Working Group of Committee Chairmen: Public Policy Matters: Engagement with the Taoiseach (12 May 2022)

Brendan Howlin: Gabhaim buíochas, a Chathaoirligh, agus cuirim fáilte roimh an Taoiseach. I feel like an interloper because I am not a Cathaoirleach, so I get to do the work without having the remuneration, which is good. The Joint Committee on European Union Affairs has a very broad remit. We have been concentrating on Brexit very strongly in the initial parts of this term, but I do not want to...

Living Wage Bill 2022: Second Stage [Private Members] (11 May 2022) See 2 other results from this debate

Aodhán Ó Ríordáin: ...that a person possibly cannot buy but he or she knows there is an expectation that it will not last that long. Being poor is very different, however. It is spirit crushing. If a child begins to feel it from his or her parent, parents or person in the household who is bringing back that low pay, then that sense of being poor sucks itself into the marrow of the child's bones and lasts a...
