Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: An Garda Síochána (12 Dec 2023)

Aodhán Ó Ríordáin: ..., youth services or other agencies. I really want to impress on the Minister the importance of community gardaí. Communities in Dublin are saying they are just not as available as they were and there is no feeling that their numbers will be enhanced in the future.

Aodhán Ó Ríordáin: ...knitting together as neatly as they should. A lot of community infrastructure has come after the fact, such as schools and other basic provision for people. A Garda station lends itself to the feeling of community, security and togetherness. Is it envisaged that other Garda stations may close to facilitate the opening of this divisional headquarters? It was suggested in a previous...

Residential Tenancies (Deferment of Termination Dates of Certain Tenancies) (No. 2) Bill 2023: Second Stage [Private Members] (12 Dec 2023)

Aodhán Ó Ríordáin: ...by the Government's decision to table an amendment virtually identical to that debated in the House last week. This amendment does little more than give cover to those Government and Independent TDs feeling the pressure in their constituencies but who will nonetheless support the Government in its indefensible action, namely, the decision to lift the eviction ban without reasonable...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (7 Dec 2023)

Ivana Bacik: ...a developer to pay more than €500,000 into an escrow account, in exchange for the withdrawal of an appeal to An Bord Pleanála. The party also insisted on the use of a confidentiality clause to cover it up. This feels like a return to the bad old days. In the correspondence I received, I saw evidence that this issue was brought to the attention of An Bord Pleanála months...

Seanad: Electoral (Amendment) Bill 2023: Second Stage (7 Dec 2023)

Rebecca Moynihan: ...be made public that they live in a certain constituency or ward, but without their personal address being made available to people. This is a real concern for some people, particularly those who do not feel safe having their address made public. A change is essential. We are cutting off their access to public life by maintaining the current position. I ask the Minister of State to look...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Policing Matters: Discussion (Resumed) (7 Dec 2023)

Aodhán Ó Ríordáin: ...not accept that labelling the entirety of what happened and everybody involved, and using a phrase as classist as that, was a regrettable intervention on her part that she should reflect on and, I feel, apologise for?

Immigration: Motion [Private Members] (6 Dec 2023) See 1 other result from this debate

Aodhán Ó Ríordáin: ..., when they intimidated bus workers, when they intimidated Luas workers, when they made Dublin City Council workers have to clean up the place the next day, and when they made everybody in this city feel fearful, wounded and traumatised. They must be delighted that the Rural Independent Group listened to their call and put down a motion on immigration. They must be absolutely delighted....

Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Waste Management (6 Dec 2023)

Marie Sherlock: I am supportive of all the initiatives the Minister of State outlined. However, a piece of the jigsaw is missing. We are talking to the people who want to do more, but there are people who feel they cannot do more, for a variety of reasons, or will not do more. This is not about the individual, rather, this is about the overall provision of services. At the moment, local authorities are...

Confidence in the Minister for Justice: Motion (5 Dec 2023)

Aodhán Ó Ríordáin: ...Garda Commissioner has said the number is 633. It is a cross-government failure to properly tackle the far right. There has been no myth-busting public information campaign to dispel the lies they are propagating. It appears the Government feels they will wear themselves out, that is, if they close down libraries or burn out tents or riot at the Dáil or block the port tunnel or...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: School Staff (30 Nov 2023)

Aodhán Ó Ríordáin: I sometimes feel the Department is depending on the fact that schools do not want to speak in their own communities about the crisis they face. It does not give a good look to a school to be speaking about the fact it cannot fill its staff with teachers. I wonder whether the Department is almost depending on this. This doubly disadvantages disadvantaged schools. It disproportionately...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Transport Infrastructure Ireland (30 Nov 2023)

Aodhán Ó Ríordáin: ...problem is that nobody is taking responsibility for the issue. People's capacity to have faith in the public transport system is being completely undermined by the situation regarding access. It feels unsafe, the lifts do not work, etc. This is a major issue in that part of the world. If the Minister were to bring both his presence and the weight of his office to the area, people there...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (29 Nov 2023)

Ivana Bacik: ...to call on colleagues to come into town last Thursday. We have seen issues such as policing in Dublin being run on overtime for some time and policing nationwide being run on a shoestring by gardaí who feel they do not have the legitimate and requisite supports. It is not good enough. I asked the Minister whether the Commissioner had offered to resign, and I ask her again. We...

Seanad: Recent Violence in Dublin City Centre: Motion (29 Nov 2023)

Marie Sherlock: ...danger because of the wanton destruction and events that should never have happened. Last Thursday was a trauma for all of us who love and live in this city. I am reeling, as are so many others, and we feel really angry that our city could have been so disgracefully ravaged last Thursday night. I am in Dublin 23 years now. Those of us who were born here and those of us who have made...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Bus Services in Counties Dublin, Kildare, Meath and Wicklow: Discussion (29 Nov 2023)

Duncan Smith: ...Do any of the representatives have a comment on what that challenge has been like since the riots? Has anything extra needed to be done for the non-Irish workforce, such as comforting them and making them feel more secure? Has there been any impact in the past week in terms of service provision based on that?

Policing, Protests and Public Order: Statements (28 Nov 2023)

Aodhán Ó Ríordáin: ...was still recovering from an assault. We want to point the finger of prioritisation where it needs to be pointed, but we need to speak about a number of failures up until last Thursday and what we feel are failures since then. Let us talk about the far right. Let us talk about library protests and libraries in Cork that have had to shut down because of library protests. Has there...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (28 Nov 2023)

Ivana Bacik: ...destruction that resulted from the awful riots we saw that evening. I condemn outright the outrageous violence we saw unfold on our streets, the streets of our capital city. Nobody here has a monopoly on the distress we all feel in the aftermath of last Thursday but there must be accountability for what occurred. Those shocking events have brought home to us all the true extent of...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (28 Nov 2023)

Marie Sherlock: .... It is a miracle that no lives were lost but we need to see changes because the people of Dublin are heartbroken at what happened and they will not tolerate this laissez-faireapproach to policing any more. They want police on their streets. They do not feel safe and they want a visible policing presence in order that we can ensure that tourists and those living here can feel safe in...

Social Welfare (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2023: Second Stage (23 Nov 2023)

Duncan Smith: ...the Minister to ensure the Department takes a more open approach as well to the financial information. We need a less pedantic approach. Carers live lives like the rest of us and sometimes it can feel like they are being audited by Revenue as opposed to just having a check from the Department of Social Protection. I hope that can be fed into the system and that it can be improved. It...

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Electoral (Amendment) Bill 2023: Committee Stage (23 Nov 2023)

Duncan Smith: ...Fingal west should remain as Dublin Fingal to have that Fingal identity of the north county. It would take in everywhere and then we would not have that problem. We need to ensure all areas feel connected to their constituency. They feel connected to Dublin Fingal, so we should keep it. For the new constituency, we can keep the name Dublin Fingal east or rename it Dublin Fingal...

Palestine: Motion [Private Members] (22 Nov 2023)

Aodhán Ó Ríordáin: ...for them in this House heretofore has been tarnished and possibly broken. If Ursula von der Leyen decided to come to this House next week, as she has in the past, I do not think many of us would feel that we could consider sitting in the same room as that person after what she has done, effectively cheerleading this evil. If Joe Biden were to come next week as President of America, as he...
