Pensions (Amendment) (Transparency in Charges) Bill 2021: Second Stage [Private Members] (22 Sep 2022)

Claire Kerrane: I welcome this legislation and commend Deputy Nash and the Labour Party for bringing it forward. It is a piece of legislation that Sinn Féin will support. This Bill has a simple objective and it is something that should be done.

Pensions (Amendment) (Transparency in Charges) Bill 2021: Second Stage [Private Members] (22 Sep 2022)

Gerald Nash: I thank the Minister for the intentions she has expressed, which are appreciated. I am more than happy, as are my Labour Party colleagues, to work with the Minister on what is a very important Bill. The Minister probably knows from her own experience - although maybe not this week when there was huge, intensive interest in pensions more generally - that when we discuss tensions...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Sports Funding (22 Sep 2022)

Jack Chambers: This is a single Topical Issue matter but multiple topics are being raised so I will try to deal with some of them.

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Sports Funding (22 Sep 2022)

Chris Andrews: I thank the Minister of State and I acknowledge what he and the Government did for sporting organisations during the pandemic. As he said, it kept many clubs afloat and it is important to acknowledge that. However, we are in another pandemic and there is a lot of talk in advance of the budget on household supports, which are vital, as well as business supports. Equally, there will be...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Sports Funding (22 Sep 2022)

Jack Chambers: We have a €15 million club fund and Sport Ireland has written to all sporting organisations and governing bodies on same. This fund has been kept in reserve from earlier on in the year and, therefore, there will be an injection of support for grassroots clubs before the end of the year that will provide a significant support to clubs and sporting organisations. We are focused on...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Public Transport (22 Sep 2022)

John Lahart: I appreciate it. Are we surprised that passenger numbers are less than they were before Covid-19 when we have bus services as poor as that? I am a great supporter, and the unions know this, of the public service bus and Dublin Bus. The fact is that I simply have not had a complaint about a route that Dublin Bus operates. All four routes that brought to the Minister of State's attention...

Anne Rabbitte: I would like to reassure the Deputy that the NTA is engaging regularly with would Go-Ahead Ireland and other public transport operators regarding any service provision issues on the public service obligation network, and that the NTA is providing regular updates to the Department of the Minister, Deputy Eamon Ryan, on these issues. I can also confirm that as part of the NTA's contractual...
