Acknowledgement and Apology to the Families and to the Victims of the Stardust Tragedy: Statements (23 Apr 2024) See 2 other results from this debate

Catherine Connolly: I think I am the final contributor. The Taoiseach gave a fulsome address and apology, which is to be welcomed. However, this apology will only be meaningful if it determines the next steps and if it examines how we got into this position. The Taoiseach has talked about how the institutions of the State let the people down. They did a lot more than that; they actively contrived to prevent...

Seanad: Health (Termination of Pregnancy Services) (Safe Access Zones) Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (16 Apr 2024)

Rónán Mullen: Unless the Minister engages I will leave the O'Shea report for another day and will not speak about last night's documentary. I have already made my position on the documentary and on RTÉ's behaviour with it known at an earlier stage today in the House. Suffice it to say that I think the many flaws in Ms O'Shea's knowledge were clearly exposed at the committee, not least in her...

Ceapachán an Taoisigh agus Ainmniú Chomhaltaí an Rialtais - Appointment of Taoiseach and Nomination of Members of Government (9 Apr 2024)

Mary Lou McDonald: Today, the name on the Taoiseach's office door changed for the third time in four years, but nothing has really changed for workers and families. How could it? This Government was formed to block the change that people voted for in the most recent general election. Fianna Fáil, Fine Gael and the Green Party clubbed together to ensure that the hopeful votes of so many for something new...

Taoiseach a Ainmniú - Nomination of Taoiseach (9 Apr 2024)

Richard Boyd Barrett: ..., the new Harris regime is suggesting it is going to renege on a promise to give additional sick leave to workers in order to back the interests of big business. Then, of course, there was the standing ovation over the words Simon Harris used about being repulsed, rightly, at the actions of Israel in its genocidal attack on the people of Palestine, when the same Ard-Fheis voted heavily...

Written Answers — Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth: Childcare Services (9 Apr 2024)

Roderic O'Gorman: The First 5 Strategy aims to support parents to be at home with their children for the whole of their first year. Research suggests that children benefit particularly from parental care in this period and the Strategy sets out this evidence in detail. Under Phase 1 an individual entitlement to seven weeks of paid Parent’s Leave and Benefit was delivered to potentially allow children to...

Accommodation for International Protection Applicants: Motion [Private Members] (21 Mar 2024)

Gary Gannon: When I sat down this morning to prepare my words and think about what I was going to offer to this debate today, I thought about some of the images from last week of people in our international protection system being bussed to Crooksling and then walking back, of the testimony from their advocates and some of the conversations I had with some of those sleeping in tents over the last number...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (21 Mar 2024) See 1 other result from this debate

Mary Seery Kearney: I am surprised at what Senator Craughwell said about turbines. My understanding from the housing committee was that turbines are getting smaller rather than bigger. I am surprised by his point and I will certainly raise it as an issue. It seems contrary to what we were told in the housing committee as we went through the planning permission for all of these, especially offshore. Do I...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Departmental Offices (20 Mar 2024)

Leo Varadkar: I thank the Deputies for their questions. On IPAS and Mount Street, officials visited the tents on 16 March. Contrary to some reports, Crooksling has toilets, hot showers, personal toiletries, food, a bus service to Dublin and 24-hour security on site. Safetynet is providing health screening, which commenced on 18 March. There is a building where meals are served and men can charge...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (20 Mar 2024)

Mary Lou McDonald: I will return to the redress scheme that opened today for those who experienced trauma in mother and baby homes and county homes. I acknowledge that redress comes in many forms. It is not all about financial recognition but trauma also comes in many forms and the largest design flaw in this scheme is the 160-day rule. It has been correctly described as a real insult to many victims. Some...
