- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Domestic Violence (10 Jul 2024)
Brian Stanley: I thank the Leas-Cheann Comhairle. I raise this important issue with the Minister, Deputy McEntee, this morning regarding the nine counties that do not have domestic violence refuges. This is a very serious matter. We know there is a huge problem out there. A commitment was given some years back that the nine counties would have services. The Minister has stated publicly that she is...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Sub-Minimum Rates of the National Mininimum Wage: Discussion (10 Jul 2024)
Mick Barry: There seems to be an assumption that a young worker is not very productive or skilful. Yesterday evening, I watched a young worker at work and thought they did a good job. I asked my colleague what age the person was and was told they were 16. They were worth a hell of a lot more than €8.89 per hour. I am sure that Lamine Yamal, who plays on the right wing for Spain, will have a...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Sub-Minimum Rates of the National Mininimum Wage: Discussion (10 Jul 2024)
Mick Barry: The point has been made that the sub-minimum rates do not affect a large number of people. They apply to one in every 140 people in the workforce, but 15,000 people is not a small number. I wonder whether the number is increasing, as there has been a lot of talk about full employment. In full employment, employers are looking around left, right and centre for people to do work. I suspect...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Sub-Minimum Rates of the National Mininimum Wage: Discussion (10 Jul 2024)
Mick Barry: That is interesting. A lot of points have been raised in this discussion about small and medium-sized businesses. I want to raise a point about big businesses. I would like to get an idea as to what extent big businesses are profiting from exploitative, sub minimum wage rates for under-20s. It was mentioned earlier that Applegreen is one company that employs people at sub-minimum wage...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Sub-Minimum Rates of the National Mininimum Wage: Discussion (10 Jul 2024)
Mick Barry: Are there any big retail companies that are paying sub-minimum wage rates?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Sub-Minimum Rates of the National Mininimum Wage: Discussion (10 Jul 2024)
Mick Barry: I am a fan of the ideas of Marx and Engels. One of those companies might have a name that sounds a bit like that but I will not name it. I will finish with these two points. The State was written to by the Commission to state that the sub-minimum wage rates are a breach of its labour rights obligations under the European Social Charter. Does Mr. Caffrey have the details of when that was?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Sub-Minimum Rates of the National Mininimum Wage: Discussion (10 Jul 2024)
Mick Barry: But it was some time ago.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Sub-Minimum Rates of the National Mininimum Wage: Discussion (10 Jul 2024)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Sub-Minimum Rates of the National Mininimum Wage: Discussion (10 Jul 2024)
Mick Barry: Okay.
- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Child and Family Agency (10 Jul 2024)
Mattie McGrath: With all due respect, the Minister of State's response grossly understates the underperformance of Tusla in meeting its statutory obligation to protect the country's most vulnerable children in State care. Tusla's dysfunction is hiding in plain sight, as was pointed out to those present on 13 June in the Dáil public petitions committee meeting by the Alliance of Birth Mothers...
- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Child and Family Agency (10 Jul 2024)
Colm Burke: If I may just respond to the Deputy, in relation to 33 children missing, the whereabouts are unknown in relation to the 33. However, ten of them have actually been in contact. Ten out of the 33 have been in contact but their whereabouts are still not known, just to put it into perspective. There is close co-operation between the Garda and Tusla. Operation Cosnaím was set up and,...

Public Transport
- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Public Transport (10 Jul 2024)
David Stanton: I thank the Minister of State for being here this morning. It is great to see a Minister from the Department here. I congratulate him on his promotion and wish him the very best in the weeks, months and hopefully years ahead. This is an issue I have been raising for quite some time. I am lucky enough to represent a constituency that is growing rapidly. A lot of houses are being built...
