Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Working Conditions and Skills Shortages in Tourism and Hospitality Sector: Discussion (Resumed) (29 Jun 2022)

Imelda Munster: ...I would be interested to hear the stance of Unite the Union on the right to join a union while the employer is not obliged to recognise that union. I cannot believe that is actually the law of the land. Unite mentioned absence of trade union access in the sector. Would it recognise that failing as part of the reason workers in the sector do not have the confidence as it stands? The...

Imelda Munster: ...deliver on the revenue scheme more generally and sent that amount of money back?

The project had been ongoing for a good many...

Chapter 3 - Central Government Funding of Local Authorities (23 Jun 2022)

Imelda Munster: ...ask her to respond to the issues the Louth Environmental Group has flagged, including that the project had been included in the development plan since 1996 and that the group was confident that the lands had been secured. I also propose we ask her what efforts the council made to pursue this project once it had the funding. Why was funding of that scale returned when the council knew...

National Maternity Hospital: Statements (12 May 2022)

Imelda Munster: ...may be overturned on ideological grounds 50 years later. We need to introduce safeguards against any kind of ambiguity or uncertainty. The best way to do that is to build a public hospital on public land. This is the very best way to guarantee all services required will be offered to women attending the hospital and it is the best way to protect the State's investment. I do not...

Financial Resolutions 2021 - Financial Resolution No. 2: General (Resumed) (14 Oct 2021)

Imelda Munster: ...is either completely out of touch with the reality of people's lives today or it does not care. Both options are reprehensible. The Government did manage, though, to bring in a tax break for landowners, namely, the zoned land tax. It will not come into effect for several years - there is no hurry, is there? - and it is half the rate of the vacant tax levy, which it is replacing....

Freedom of Information: Motion [Private Members] (15 Sep 2021)

Imelda Munster: ...in government do business. This arrogant approach, this cronyism, just has to stop. The Taoiseach is the leader of the Government and it is his responsibility to ensure Ministers adhere to the law of the land. We need leadership, but where is it? What is the Taoiseach afraid of? Is he afraid there is more to this, that more Ministers or Departments will be found out and that he...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (22 Jun 2021)

Imelda Munster: ...have to bear this in mind unless other members have suggestions on what else we can do. The fact that there is no national oversight is worrying because it is only in years to come that we will be landed with this problem. This should be borne in mind when we are compiling our report on the hearing with An Bord Pleanála. I will be happy by all means to hear suggestions from other...

Public Accounts Committee: University of Limerick: Financial Statements 2019 (17 Jun 2021)

Imelda Munster: ...resolved. One is outstanding. Whether they are resolved or not, I find repugnant the reports that the whistleblowers were offered cash to simply resign. There are questions about the purchase of land which seems to have been purchased at a price inflated by more than 250%. We are not getting answers to those questions. Salaries have increased dramatically. There are irregularities...

Annexation of Palestine: Motion [Private Members] (25 May 2021)

Imelda Munster: ...subjected to blockades, checkpoints, a lack of access to basic amenities like water and electricity and every possible abuse of human rights imaginable.

Here in Ireland we need to show leadership and take a stand. We have a seat at...

Public Accounts Committee: 2019 Financial Statements of An Bord Pleanála (13 May 2021)

Imelda Munster: I want to touch on data centres, if I may. We know they are a vital piece of modern global infrastructure but it seems to many that Ireland is becoming a hub for these and it is unwelcome. When we take into account they take up vast tracts of land and use large amounts of water and electricity and contribute to our emissions count, they are not often seen as contributing much to the...

Public Accounts Committee: 2019 Financial Statements of An Bord Pleanála (13 May 2021)

Imelda Munster: Yes, permission has been granted. It is in an IDA Ireland industrial park given its size but there are now reports that two further data centres are planned.

Imelda Munster: ...they contacted RTÉ after the publication of the Eversheds Sutherland report. At what stage are the discussions and when are they expected to conclude?

Public Accounts Committee: 2019 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 29 - Communications, Climate Action and Environment (27 Apr 2021)

Imelda Munster: I understand all that. My question was specifically about whether there is the possibility that a bill could land at RTÉ because of that, given that both the Department and the agency contacted RTÉ directly after the publication of the report.

Land Development Agency Bill 2021: Second Stage (Resumed) (10 Mar 2021)

Imelda Munster: ...;in's housing spokesperson, Deputy Eoin Ó Broin, previously in this debate. Section 56 of this Bill will strip section 183 powers from councillors. It will stop councillors being able to insist that public land is used for 100% public housing and that it must be genuinely affordable. That will have terrible consequences, including in my constituency in County Louth. Coupled with...
