Energy (Windfall Gains in the Energy Sector) (Temporary Solidarity Contribution) Bill 2023: Committee and Remaining Stages (5 Jul 2023)

Maurice Quinlivan: I want to speak in support of amendments Nos. 12 to 14, inclusive, under section 17 of the Bill. As it stands, the timeframe for imposing surcharge penalties is too long, and the surcharge is too low for it to have any real standing for companies of scale and resourceful companies. The 5% surcharge should be imposed within the first two months of non-payment. The 10% surcharge should be...

Court Proceedings (Delays) Bill 2023: Second Stage (Resumed) (30 May 2023)

Maurice Quinlivan: ...a Bill of necessity and good practice. It is probably one of the most overused quotes at this stage, but what Martin Luther King Jnr. said in his "Letter from Birmingham Jail" - that "justice too long delayed is justice denied" - remains true and relevant.

Organised Crime: Statements (20 Apr 2023)

Maurice Quinlivan: ...one such community in Limerick and I am utterly proud to be from there.

Maurice Quinlivan: ...as fast as they could be or to any scale that they could be because the local authority simply does not have the money. It is the Minister's Department that puts them through red tape that takes so long and we just cannot get them turned over. That is 230 houses.

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Housing Schemes (28 Mar 2023)

Maurice Quinlivan: ...clarified. I understand it is only for new-build cost-rentals, which do not exist. The third question is who is going to administer the scheme. A house is not purchased in a day and there is a long process that will take up many working hours of council staff who are already under huge pressure. What flexibility have councils to acquire additional staff to cope with this heavy...

Policing, Security and Community Safety Bill 2023: Second Stage (Resumed) (23 Mar 2023)

That is a measure of progress, and long may it continue, but there remain many areas where progress needs to be made. I welcome...
