Pupil-Teacher Ratio: Motion (Resumed) (21 Mar 2007)

Breeda Moynihan-Cronin: ...for Education and Science, who was in the constituency on the same day, would also visit the school but she failed to do so. As I have stated on previous occasions, the sense of frustration I feel in raising school building projects and issues such as class sizes on the floor of the House is matched only by the anger and frustration of school principals and boards of management who contact...

Breeda Moynihan-Cronin: ...of other constituencies in which there is a tourism element. I wish to raise the issue of women who were affected by the marriage bar.

Breeda Moynihan-Cronin: ...the Equal Status Act 2000 and the Employment Equality Act 1998. I would welcome the Minister's comments on that.

While those in a union have that backing, unfortunately there is no union in many workplaces and those women feel very isolated and need our support. Women need to be informed of their rights in these cases. Employers have attempted to dismiss a woman who is pregnant under the guise of poor work and this...
