Aodhán Ó Ríordáin: ...are. I gave the Minister a year to sort it out and she comes back in and asks for more time and more school admission cycles. It drives me to distraction to consider the power that the fee-paying lobby has. There is nothing they will not get if they ask for it. Proof is in this legislation. The only ones who asked for it were them. They got it and we cannot move it because we...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Third Level Fees (19 May 2022)

Aodhán Ó Ríordáin: ...1990s, a time when if a household had two university-age-going children, they may have only been able to send one. As part of the Labour Party's contribution to the Government at the time, half-fees were introduced halfway through my time in university, followed by completely free fees as it was called. Education cost nothing. It was absolutely free. There was zero cost. While the...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (18 May 2022)

Ivana Bacik: Childcare is a massive issue for parents in every constituency. Ireland has some of the most expensive childcare costs in Europe and we need clarity on how it is proposed to reduce fees for parents, to improve pay and conditions for staff and to improve the availability of places for children. In Limerick on Monday, I visited two brilliant childcare and early years education services,...

Ivana Bacik: ...that if that is indeed the optimal site, the optimal approach to acquiring that site for the building of the hospital is to acquire it freehold, to ensure it is either gifted or sold at a nominal fee to the State. That is why we renew our calls today, as we renewed them last night with the Minister, for the State to consider the compulsory purchase order, CPO, option. If this is the...

Rebecca Moynihan: ...ground that members have already covered but it is important to come back to the point made by Deputy McAuliffe in respect of essentially devolving this to local authorities. While the waivers of fee are welcome, it was a short-term and temporary measure, albeit one that identified a problem of which many people had been aware for a long time. I refer to the lack of flexibility in...

Ivana Bacik: -----then why not put the matter beyond legal doubt and place the site in public ownership? Seek that the site be gifted to the State or to be sold at a nominal fee to the State, as was the original plan. Why, back in 2017, did the then Minister for Health, Deputy Harris, decide to proceed with this convoluted legal arrangement, rather than insisting then, as the Labour Party said he...

Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Third Level Fees (27 Apr 2022)

Annie Hoey: ...10% of all the Irish GEM students responded to it over a couple of days, which is statistically significant. Some 92% of them said they require external financial support to pay the university fees and we all know how much those university fees are; they are €16,000 per year to study GEM. That is colossal money. It is €64,000 that they have to take out as a loan. Some 74%...

Annie Hoey: ...costs? I have no doubt that the community will step in to support those students, as we have seen throughout the country, but will there be a specific funding stream apart from the waiving of fees and so on? There may also be Russian students coming here to look for education, fleeing to Ireland as the conflict continues. Has there been any conversation around support for Russian...

Childcare Fees: Motion [Private Members] (5 Apr 2022)

Ivana Bacik: ...for the sector but more needs to be done. Like all of us, I hear daily from parents who are deeply concerned about the cost of childcare and crèches and about the lack of certainty as to whether or not fees will be frozen or, preferably, reduced. It is acknowledged in the motion that if they were to be frozen it would be at an unsustainably high level for many parents. I commend the...

We heard this morning about a woman who is struggling to find a childcare...

What is absolutely illegal now in Finland is fundraising or fee-paying schools because they said equality should be at the heart of the education system.
