Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (29 Jun 2022)

Mary Lou McDonald: In fact, the Government has demonstrated before that when it is those at the top, the Government is in like a flash but when it is ordinary people who need a bailout package, its message is tough luck. Tá sé doghlactha go vótálfaidh an Rialtas in aghaidh buiséad éigeandála anocht. A Aire, teastaíonn cúnamh ó dhaoine anois. Beidh sé...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (29 Jun 2022)

Michael McGrath: We in government accept that many people and businesses are under pressure. We represent ordinary people too. We are elected by ordinary people and we meet them every day in our day-to-day lives as well. The reality is that the inflation that is being experienced is at a 40-year high and is primarily driven by international factors. I think Deputy McDonald also accepts that. It is...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (29 Jun 2022)

Mary Lou McDonald: The good news is even better than the Minister alludes to because not alone are we in a relatively strong position as an economy, as he brags, but in fact it is projected that the Government will take in €5.6 billion more in tax revenues than projected on budget day. The Minister talked about clarity but I ask him to allow me to give him clarity as he brags about the economic position...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (29 Jun 2022)

Mary Lou McDonald: If I may say, a Leas-Cheann Comhairle, it is very galling to hear on the one hand the bragging of Government on the wonderful job it is doing, how wonderfully rosy the economic outlook is and, while families suffer, the Minister sits on his hands. Nero fiddles and Rome burns.

Michael McGrath: I thank the Leas-Cheann Comhairle. There is nobody bragging and there is no need to drag down the tone of the political debate on what is a very important issue which affects ordinary people and businesses all over the country. I can legitimately make the point about following Deputy McDonald's advice and spending €3.5 billion more in the budget last year on expenditure and spending...

Autism Bill 2022: Second Stage [Private Members] (29 Jun 2022)

Alan Kelly: I listened very carefully to the Minister of State. I felt her passion. It was very believable. Unfortunately, the Minister, Deputy O'Gorman, basically insulted the House and, I believe, insulted all the people who are here to witness this legislation. It is tokenistic and absolutely wrong of the Government to say it will allow this to pass Second Stage but that it will not do anything...

Visit of Japanese Delegation (29 Jun 2022)

Catherine Connolly: Sula mbogfaimid ar aghaidh, cuirim, ar mo shon féin agus ar son Bhaill na Dála, céad míle fáilte roimh ambasadóir na Seapáine atá anseo agus roimh an triúr taidhleoirí atá in éindí leis. Before proceeding with the next item of business, I offer, on my own behalf and on behalf of the Members of Dáil Éireann, a...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (29 Jun 2022)

Mary Lou McDonald: Last night Sinn Féin brought forward a motion calling on the Government to introduce an emergency budget to ease the enormous pressure on struggling households. I impressed upon the Taoiseach yesterday - at least, I tried - how this crisis is worsening for so many. Last night, however, even though families throughout the country are at breaking point, Ministers stood up one after the...

Autism Bill 2022: Second Stage [Private Members] (29 Jun 2022)

Brendan Howlin: Like others, I welcome everyone in the Gallery. It reinforces that we are not talking in a vacuum. We are actually listening and, I hope, reflecting the views of people who are affected by this issue. It is one that is understood by most people and all contributors across the House. I also commend my colleague, Deputy Ó Ríordáin, not alone on his work in preparing and...

Autism Bill 2022: Second Stage [Private Members] (29 Jun 2022)

Anne Rabbitte: I thank Deputy Ó Ríordáin and the Labour Party for bringing this Bill to the House. Along with my colleague, the Minister, Deputy O'Gorman, I support the Government's decision not to oppose this Private Members' Bill at this stage of the process. I would like to bring the House through my thought process in this regard. I read through this proposed legislation intensely....

Autism Bill 2022: Second Stage [Private Members] (29 Jun 2022)

Michael Collins: I am sharing time with Deputy Danny Healy-Rae. This Bill would oblige the Government to produce a cross-departmental autism strategy and require all relevant Ministers and public bodies to co-operate with its implementation. The strategy would outline how the needs of people with autism, including access to education, other public services, employment and social inclusion, can be met by...

Autism Bill 2022: Second Stage [Private Members] (29 Jun 2022)

Danny Healy-Rae: I thank the Labour Party for bringing forward this important Bill. We all know young couples for whom it is a very tough cross to bear when they find out their child has a problem. It certainly places strain on them because they want the best for their child or, in some cases, children. The situation is no different in Kerry. We have our share of families that include children with...
