Finance Bill 2022: Report Stage (23 Nov 2022)

Richard Boyd Barrett: ...I do not understand. All of the people in various categories who earn in excess of €100,000, such as Ministers, executives of companies, upper management in companies, bankers, consultant doctors and barristers - I am sure we could think of others - do valuable work. However, is their work more valuable than a nurse's work? Should their work be better remunerated than a nurse'...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Examination of EU Fiscal Rules: TASC (3 May 2023)

Neasa Hourigan: Okay. I would like to move on a bit. Regarding this adjustment path, let us hope we never see it. It sounds more like a partnership, working with countries. That would require somebody in the country who will work hand in hand on, for example, data analysis. Do we envisage that being the Department of Finance? There has been some suggestion that it might be the version of the Irish...

Programmes for Government (15 May 2012)

Richard Boyd Barrett: -----and cannot believe that he finds himself in this situation now. He is like so many other people who want to work and contribute to society and cannot believe our Government is unable to allow them to contribute their skills and abilities to getting our society out of the mess it is in. Is the Taoiseach going to help people like Mr. Gordon Hudson and prevent the outflow of our talented,...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Pre-Budget Submissions: Discussion (15 Jul 2014)

Ms Mary Rose Burke: Our main focus is that work should reward people, that any disincentives to work or any barriers to taking up work should be removed and that any supports that are needed to move people from welfare into work should be supported. We would certainly look to investing more in JobBridge. That has been successful and we would like to see more places being made available on...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying: Assisted Dying, Legal and Constitutional Context: Discussion (13 Jun 2023)

Annie Hoey: I will not go over what everyone has said about the importance of the work we are doing on this committee. I know Marie Fleming and her work have been mentioned a number of times. We would also be remiss not to acknowledge Vicky Phelan, who wished to see this introduced, and who unfortunately is not here today. She entrusted it to others to follow her will on what she would like to see...

Seanad: Order of Business (5 Jul 2016)

Jennifer Murnane O'Connor: Yes. Following the 2014 local government reforms, the areas served by councillors have expanded and their workload has increased. In counties with a small population, like Carlow, councillors are faced with a shortage of funding to carry out even basic works like grass cutting, for example. This leads to a lot of frustration. Councillors have to deal directly with communities who are...

Public Accounts Committee: 2021 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 37 - Social Protection - Social Insurance Fund 2021
Chapter 10: Regularity of social welfare payments
Chapter 11: The recovery of benefit and assistance payments following compensation awards
Chapter 14: Classification of workers for PRSI purposes (1 Dec 2022)

Brian Stanley: That sounds like the way Ms Leonard is saying it works. What I am saying is that there are problems. Ms Leonard mentioned 93%. That means it is not working for 7%. It is not an easy system to work. Issues like no Intreo office-----

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Groceries Sector: Discussion with Musgrave Group and Tesco (26 Mar 2013)

Mr. Ian Allen: Yes. From a national perspective throughout all our stores where we can work with a supplier who has got a product that we and the consumer would like to see on our shelves we will work with them to try to provide them with that solution. It comes down to its production capability and if it is not able to supply on a national level we would introduce it to retailers like Ms...

Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Estimates for Public Services 2024
Vote 4 - Central Statistics Office (Revised) (28 Feb 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I am surprised that happened more than ten years ago because, from having done research myself, I know it is almost impossible to compare like for like between the two censuses. Ongoing work needs to be done and it needs to be prioritised by the Government such that we all pull together in trying to enable the CSO to work with NISRA in that way. There is an added complication in that the...

Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Estimates for Public Services 2024
Vote 1 - President's Establishment (Revised)
Vote 2 - Department of the Taoiseach (Revised)
Vote 3 - Office of the Attorney General (Revised)
Vote 5 - Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (Revised)
Vote 6 - Chief State Solicitor's Office (Revised) (24 Apr 2024)

Simon Harris: I will come back on that. I would like to compare like with like. There are definitely other people who worked for the former Taoiseach who I have not heard the Deputy reference by name. I have not seen the list he has in front of him. In regard to housing, the person who continues to advise me on housing and to oversee the work on housing is Matthew Lynch. He did that for the previous...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: Public Service Performance Report 2022: Discussion (24 Oct 2023)

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: Ms Duffy is telling me it is a function of the newness of her Department, essentially. I might be straying outside what we are supposed to be doing today but there is huge frustration with the National Training Fund, NTF. I acknowledge there has been a promise to look at the legislative provisions that surround the NTF but I know from talking to employers that they are very frustrated when...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters: Aligning Education with the UNCRPD: Discussion (10 Feb 2022)

Mr. Craig Kelly: Without the supports of Ability@Work, I would not be where I am today nor have a job. I applied for jobs previously on my own and got nowhere, but I got there with the support of Ability@Work. Before all this came about, I felt powerless but now, having been elected president of the ability board, I feel as though I have power. I am supporting not just myself but many...

Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth: Youth Work and Integrated Care and Education: Discussion (21 Mar 2023)

Lynn Ruane: In looking at the societal issues, I will turn to Mr. Roe. Regarding investing in youth work, it can be seen from the work of this committee and the Minister's portfolio that there are many things to contend with in this context. It feels like the topic of youth work has not had any airing in terms of focus. I refer not only to investment but also to focused conversation in the context of...

Committee on Housing and Homelessness: County and City Management Association (26 Apr 2016)

Kathleen Funchion: People in the system are going to court and their eviction cases are repeatedly adjourned, so they have that stress and worry. They could be perfect applicants for the mortgage-to-rent scheme, yet they might not qualify because of something silly like having an extra bedroom. The reality is different, however, because families can return home with grandchildren. We need to start thinking...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Mapping Diversity, Negotiating Differences: Constitutional Discussions on a Shared Island: Discussion (9 Nov 2023)

Frances Black: Is working with the shared island unit something Professor Todd would like? Let us say more funding was put in from the shared island unit to the work she is doing to continue it and maybe go into more depth on this. What she is doing is really vital. Working from the ground up is absolutely vital. Is that something she would like to see from the shared island unit?

Written Answers — Department of Social Protection: Invalidity Pension Eligibility (19 Jun 2013)

Brendan Ryan: 133. To ask the Minister for Social Protection in view of the criteria for invalidity pension requiring an applicant to have been incapable of work for at least 12 months and be likely to be incapable of work for at least another 12 months, or be permanently incapable of work, the criteria that is used to ensure that an applicant for invalidity pension is assessed on the qualifying grounds of...

Select Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Employment Permits (Amendment) Bill 2014: Committee Stage (26 Jun 2014)

Peadar Tóibín: I should like to speak to amendment No. 49, if possible. The Minister of State will be aware if an employee - any employee - has a contract and an ability to work only with one employer. The nature of that relationship will be quite different than if a worker has the ability to work with a number of different employers. It leaves the door wide open for exploitation. If we had a choice, we...

Seanad: Order of Business (8 Oct 2013)

David Norris: I want people in the House like the Leader of this House, like Senator Whelan and Senator Gilroy, who have known what it is like to be unemployed. Should people really be expected to come off the unemployment register and to work for nothing? If so, people are living in cloud cuckoo land and I do not give a damn if it is unpopular, I am saying it and I will not stop saying it. I sometimes...

Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Covid-19: Strategic Options for Government Plan to Eliminate Community Transmission (23 Sep 2020)

Dr. Samuel McConkey: The uptake at present is approximately 1.7 or 1.9 million, which is only about 34% of the population. The modelling suggests that we need about 60% or more to get a really good impact. It does not work on old iPhones like the iPhone 5 and it does not work on older android devices. It only works on more modern phones. There are older people, like my mother, who still...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: Implementation of the Recommendations of the Report of the Commission on the Defence Forces: Discussion (26 Sep 2023)

Réada Cronin: I have a final question on work-life balance. When people are starting off in the Army, if they look in any way presentable, they are often expected to work weekends in the officers’ mess. How does that equate with improving the work-life balance? We can get away with things like that when unemployment is high but not in the current employment circumstances. I would like to have...
