Yesterday, on World Autism Awareness Day, parents of neurodiverse children slept outside the Dáil for the second time this year. I went out to them after the voting block yesterday, so taken was I by their hard-hitting presentation in the audiovisual room yesterday.
Many of these children have no school place for September. They are being denied fundamental human and educational rights by the State. One of the mothe…
It is clear that criminal activity among young people is on the rise but that did not happen in a vacuum. With increased reports of theft, fraud and sexual offences by teenagers aged 12 to 17 years of age, more needs to be invested in our young people to engage with them instead of treating them as social pariahs. Last week, I visited the Lough na Mona community centre in Leixlip, which is supported by In Sync. Lough…
It is the Government's motion.
Like-minded is right.
What has he got on you?
Shameful.
The tenant in situ scheme has saved many families across north Kildare from homelessness due to the housing crisis created by this Government and the almost identical Government before it. Abandoning this scheme is going to leave people in a housing limbo suddenly facing homelessness. The tenant in situ scheme has offered a lifeline to those facing emergency accommodation, sofa surfing, sleeping in their cars or, wor…
Do not treat us differently than men. The Ceann Comhairle is well able for it.
As north Kildare's only female TD, I am delighted to speak on International Women's Day as a member of Sinn Féin, a party that champions women and holds them to the same standard and regard as our male colleagues. We do not expect to be treated differently - just the same, thanks.
I have always said that a woman's place is in the revolution, be that here sa bhaile, sa Phalaistín nó fud fad na cruinne. From Constance…
The same cannot be said for the likes of Fianna Fáil or Fine Gael, but particularly Fianna Fáil. With just seven women elected out of 48 Fianna Fáil TDs, it is the worst party when it comes to gender balance. What must it be to be a woman in Fianna Fáil and manage to get elected? I do not know but I imagine they would be as good as any of their male counterparts. I have noticed that only the member of the Cabinet spo…
We can all hear you, do not worry.
That would be great. We are waiting for Deputy Ward's leader to come in and explain what is going on in his party.
Níl mé líofa ach táim ag foghlaim. Chuaigh mé go dtí an Ghaeltacht i nGleann Cholm Cille an samhradh seo caite agus beidh mé ag dul ann arís i mbliana le cúpla ball de mo chumann Shinn Féin i gCill Dara Thuaidh. Cabhraigh sé go mór liom. Is féidir linn go léir feabhas a chur ar ár gcuid Gaeilge le chéile. Tá an-chuid tacaíocht don Ghaeilge fud fad na tíre. Táim ag caint faoi ghrúpaí cosúil le Cill Dara le Gaeilge agu…
This has nothing to do with anything.
Déanaim comhghairdeas leis an Leas-Chathaoirleach as a ról nua. Déanaim comhghairdeas leis an Aire agus leis an Aire Stáit as na róil atá acu freisin.
As has been outlined by my colleague Teachta Eoin Ó Broin, the Housing Commission report is such an important piece of work that it needs to be taken very seriously by the Government. We all recognise that the housing crisis is the single biggest issue facing the Gove…
Is í seo an chéad uair dom labhairt sa Dáil seo. Mar sin, gabhaim buíochas leis na vótálaithe i gCill Dara Thuaidh a vótáil ar son Shinn Féin. Unfortunately, I stand here frustrated with the same issues I raised when I was first elected in 2020. The programme for Government is not serious about addressing the urgent issues of housing, childcare and public transport, among a long list of other matters, and things have…
