- Affordable Housing: Motion [Private Members] (8 May 2024)
Mairead Farrell: Around this time five years ago, local elections took place. We heard all the talk that there was going to be affordable housing delivered on the east side of Galway city. I distinctly remember people asking about the affordable housing that was going to be delivered. Since then, in the past five years people have consistently come to me and asked when that affordable housing will be...
- Europe Day: Statements (8 May 2024)
Mairead Farrell: Today, on the eve of Europe Day, of course we look at the positives that Europe has offered Ireland and that Ireland has offered Europe in return. I want to look at something in my brief of further and higher education. This relates to a proposal about research that has come to light and causes me concern. We know how important research is. It looks at planning for the future and how best...
- An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (8 May 2024)
Mairead Farrell: Apprentices have been clear that they feel forgotten by this Government. We have seen how the large waiting lists for off-the-job training impacts on their ability to earn. Large numbers are dropping out and now we have figures that prove only a small minority in the craft apprenticeship sector are finishing in the standard four year period. If we suddenly saw that people on four-year...

- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (2 May 2024)
Mairead Farrell: Ní hé comhbhrón atá ag teastáil ó Niamh. Tá athruithe ag teastáil uaithi. Tá sé sin soiléir ón méid atá ráite aici liomsa. Is féidir leis an Tánaiste labhairt faoi athruithe atá déanta cheana ach teastaíonn athruithe láithreach. The hospital was clearly understaffed. Clinical...

- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (2 May 2024)
Mairead Farrell: "It was crazy. People sitting on the floor. A long queue winding its way up to reception. People lying across chairs. This was Tuesday morning. Some had been there since Sunday. Staff under huge pressure, stressed with their workload. No time to think. It was just panic. At one point, I thought I'm going to die". Those are the words of Niamh, who presented at the accident and...
- Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (1 May 2024)
Mairead Farrell: The Taoiseach is obviously aware of the issue of the 51-week leases now being required by vulture fund-owned student accommodation, and he is of course aware of the detrimental impact that this is having on students and the study abroad sector. Over the past number of months, the Taoiseach has raised his intention to introduce legislation to ban this practice. However, given the tight...
- Petrol and Diesel Excise Rate Increases: Motion [Private Members] (30 Apr 2024)
Mairead Farrell: If these price increases tell us absolutely anything about the Government, it is that it is completely and utterly tone deaf to the reality for people across this State. People are already struggling. The cost-of-living crisis is still here. People are facing huge challenges every day because of it. What is the Government's response to that? It increases the price of petrol and diesel,...
- Road Safety: Statements (17 Apr 2024)
Mairead Farrell: We are all thinking of the families who have been bereaved by the roads. As the Minister of State is very well aware, we had a number of tragedies that affected Galway families recently. All our thoughts are with those families and their loved ones. Over the course of this debate and those we have had over the last number of weeks, we heard of many different ways in which we can tackle...
- Disability Justice: Motion [Private Members] (17 Apr 2024)
Mairead Farrell: I thank Solidarity-People Before Profit for tabling this motion. It is important that we recognise that the voices of people with disabilities were heard and that thanks to their activism, the Green Paper was scrapped by the Government. That was the right thing to do. It is essential that all disability policy is centred on a human rights-led approach and that people are listened to. I...

Mairead Farrell: Tá sé tagtha chun solais nach bhfuil an Ghaeilge éigeantach do phost mar stiúrthóir scoileanna san Galway and Roscommon Education and Training Board, GRETB. Is cúis imní é seo do scoileanna Gaeltachta agus do Ghaelcholáistí. Tá seacht meánscoileanna Gaeltachta agus dhá Ghaelcholáiste taobh amuigh den Ghaeltacht faoin...
