| 09/07/2020 | [Estimates for Public Services 2020 (Resumed)] There is some time left if the Minister wishes to use it but it is nearly gone now.[Connolly, Catherine] | Vol-994 Book-7 | |
| 09/07/2020 | [Estimates for Public Services 2020 (Resumed)] I will respond to the accusation that was made about me misleading the Dáil, which I do not think I have done. Let me be very clear and quote from the advice of the Attorney General on the occupied territories Bill which states that: “there is signific... | Vol-994 Book-7 | |

| 09/07/2020 | [Estimates for Public Services 2020 (Resumed)] I can barely see my colleagues. I want to begin by congratulating the Minister, Deputy Coveney, on his reappointment at a critical time for Ireland in international affairs. He has done a very good job to date and I look forward to working with him fr... | Vol-994 Book-7 | |
| 09/07/2020 | [Estimates for Public Services 2020 (Resumed)] There are only two minutes and 35 seconds remaining but I will try to deal with all of the Deputy's questions.

| 09/07/2020 | [Estimates for Public Services 2020 (Resumed)] I echo the comments of other Deputies in congratulating the Minister on his reappointment. I also welcome the new junior Ministers to their roles.
I would like first to focus on the comments on the occupied territories Bill and significant legal doub... | Vol-994 Book-7 | |
| 09/07/2020 | [Estimates for Public Services 2020 (Resumed)] I do not know how many times I have to say it but people do not seem to want to hear .

| 09/07/2020 | [Estimates for Public Services 2020 (Resumed)] It is a legal position. I can understand the frustrations over the occupied territories Bill but I have on many occasions explained why we cannot do it. People do not want to accept that for political reasons.[Coveney, Simon] | Vol-994 Book-7 | |
| 09/07/2020 | [Estimates for Public Services 2020 (Resumed)] That was not the question I put.[O'Callaghan, Cian] | Vol-994 Book-7 | |
| 09/07/2020 | [Estimates for Public Services 2020 (Resumed)] I am making the point. The Deputy had his say and I am having mine.

| 09/07/2020 | [Estimates for Public Services 2020 (Resumed)] I thank the three Deputies for raising these issues.

| 28/05/2020 | [Estimates for Public Services 2020 (Resumed)] I thank the Deputy for acknowledging the confirmation we gave this morning that the Covid payment will extend well beyond its original end date, which was 9 June.

| 28/05/2020 | [Estimates for Public Services 2020 (Resumed)] First, the Deputy raised the anomaly that exists for people returning from maternity leave to the wage subsidy scheme. From what I can gather, and I only heard it at the same time as the Deputy when the Minister for Finance said it in the last session,... | Vol-993 Book-6 Page [646] | |

| 28/05/2020 | [Estimates for Public Services 2020 (Resumed)] I am sorry that I was delayed. I was not expecting this session to start so early. On the maternity leave, there are two issues.[Ó Cuív, Éamon] | Vol-993 Book-6 Page [648] | |
| 28/05/2020 | [Estimates for Public Services 2020 (Resumed)] The €350 Covid payment had to be introduced for workers who lost their jobs through no fault of their own. We have to try to get small businesses back to work. It was referred to by a couple of speakers earlier in this slot. Both our banks and the wa... | Vol-993 Book-6 Page [648] | |

| 28/05/2020 | [Estimates for Public Services 2020 (Resumed)] One of the tragedies of what is happening in the Dáil is that accountability in this House has gone to nothing. Dáil weeks are very short as they are and it is an awful pity when an earlier session ended that we could not have had the extra time and sp... | Vol-993 Book-6 Page [649] | |
| 28/05/2020 | [Estimates for Public Services 2020 (Resumed)] While I was not here for the last session, I understand that the last session ended early because of lack of participation. The party groups decide how many people they send in to take up the time allocated. In an ideal scenario, Members would ask que... | Vol-993 Book-6 Page [650] | |
| 28/05/2020 | [Estimates for Public Services 2020 (Resumed)] We accept that. If one is in a party, for example, with 37 Teachtaí Dála, and there is a party with six that has the same time, it is obvious that the pressure on the bigger party will be greater because there will be more offering.[Ó Cuív, Éamon] | Vol-993 Book-6 Page [650] | |
| 28/05/2020 | [Estimates for Public Services 2020 (Resumed)] That is because you have six talking at the same time. We do not.[Nash, Ged] | Vol-993 Book-6 Page [650] | |
| 28/05/2020 | [Estimates for Public Services 2020 (Resumed)] I think these issues need to be addressed.[Ó Cuív, Éamon] | Vol-993 Book-6 Page [650] | |

| 28/05/2020 | [Estimates for Public Services 2020 (Resumed)] For the record, the allocation in this slot is 20 minutes each to Fianna Fáil, Sinn Féin and Fine Gael, ten minutes to the Green Party and eight minutes to everyone else.[An Ceann Comhairle] | Vol-993 Book-6 Page [650] | |
| 28/05/2020 | [Estimates for Public Services 2020 (Resumed)] If it is taken proportionately, it is a lot less.[Ó Cuív, Éamon] | Vol-993 Book-6 Page [650] | |
| 28/05/2020 | [Estimates for Public Services 2020 (Resumed)] I know, and we could do the maths. I understand the Deputy's frustration and I thank him for highlighting it. We need to move on.
We have five Sinn Féin contributors beginning with Deputy Ellis who is sharing with his colleagues.[An Ceann Comhairle] | Vol-993 Book-6 Page [650] | |
| 28/05/2020 | [Estimates for Public Services 2020 (Resumed)] We will take four minutes each.
We have been through challenging times before, most recently when the economy crashed and brought in an era of austerity. The austerity measures brought in often targeted the most vulnerable in society. Savage cuts we... | Vol-993 Book-6 Page [650] | |

| 28/05/2020 | [Estimates for Public Services 2020 (Resumed)] I could not.[Doherty, Regina] | Vol-993 Book-6 Page [651] | |
| 28/05/2020 | [Estimates for Public Services 2020 (Resumed)] There are five speakers in this slot. We will hear them; whether there is time for the Minister to respond is a matter for those putting the questions.[An Ceann Comhairle] | Vol-993 Book-6 Page [651] | |
| 28/05/2020 | [Estimates for Public Services 2020 (Resumed)] Undoubtedly, we are in a difficult time but there are also opportunities to reboot our social welfare system to ensure that it helps all those who are most in need both during the crisis and afterwards. The €350 Covid payment is a clear recognition by ... | Vol-993 Book-6 Page [651] | |
| 28/05/2020 | [Estimates for Public Services 2020 (Resumed)] In the coming weeks and months we will have an opportunity to create a much fairer society. There are many opportunities as we move out of the pandemic, but in order to achieve that we must make choices because it is about choices. For instance, we mu... | Vol-993 Book-6 Page [652] | |
| 28/05/2020 | [Estimates for Public Services 2020 (Resumed)] Would it be possible for me, a Cheann Comhairle, to take my questions now? I do not wish to be difficult but it would make things a bit easier.[Ó Murchú, Ruairí] | Vol-993 Book-6 Page [652] | |
| 28/05/2020 | [Estimates for Public Services 2020 (Resumed)] There is no guarantee then that Deputy Gould will get in.[An Ceann Comhairle] | Vol-993 Book-6 Page [652] | |
| 28/05/2020 | [Estimates for Public Services 2020 (Resumed)] I will be very fast. Deputy Gould trusts me implicitly.[Ó Murchú, Ruairí] | Vol-993 Book-6 Page [652] | |
| 28/05/2020 | [Estimates for Public Services 2020 (Resumed)] All right. That is okay. The Deputy can proceed.[An Ceann Comhairle] | Vol-993 Book-6 Page [652] | |
| 28/05/2020 | [Estimates for Public Services 2020 (Resumed)] Partition is the gift that does not stop giving, or should I say, taking. It has been put on the record that many Northern workers have not been able to avail of the pandemic unemployment payment, PUP. We are obviously talking about people who have pa... | Vol-993 Book-6 Page [652] | |
| 28/05/2020 | [Estimates for Public Services 2020 (Resumed)] Perhaps the Minister could take Deputy Ó Murchú's questions before we conclude with Deputy Gould.[An Ceann Comhairle] | Vol-993 Book-6 Page [653] | |
| 28/05/2020 | [Estimates for Public Services 2020 (Resumed)] That is no problem. I was asked why we established the pandemic payment in the way we did. The pandemic legislation is based on unemployment legislation that is currently the law of the land. The EU regulations are the regulations of the European Uni... | Vol-993 Book-6 Page [653] | |
| 28/05/2020 | [Estimates for Public Services 2020 (Resumed)] Was a directive changed or was that a mistake on the part of the person who spoke to me? Perhaps the Minister could answer in writing. I would also like an answer to the specific question about someone who falls under the aegis of EU Regulation No. 88... | Vol-993 Book-6 Page [653] | |
| 28/05/2020 | [Estimates for Public Services 2020 (Resumed)] Can the Minister correspond with the Deputy on that matter?[An Ceann Comhairle] | Vol-993 Book-6 Page [653] | |
| 28/05/2020 | [Estimates for Public Services 2020 (Resumed)] Absolutely.[Doherty, Regina] | Vol-993 Book-6 Page [653] | |
| 28/05/2020 | [Estimates for Public Services 2020 (Resumed)] Hopefully, I will be able to give the Minister some time to answer my questions. I will be as brief as possible. Disabled people are one of the groups most negatively affected by the Covid-19 crisis. Will the Government provide financial support for ... | Vol-993 Book-6 Page [654] | |
| 28/05/2020 | [Estimates for Public Services 2020 (Resumed)] I will begin by responding to Deputy Ellis, although there was not really a question. When he expresses concern that Ministers are making decisions, he is obviously referring to me, in particular, as an unelected Minister. I do not make decisions. Th... | Vol-993 Book-6 Page [654] | |
| 28/05/2020 | [Estimates for Public Services 2020 (Resumed)] Deputy Gould has asked if the Minister will make some reference to his question about Debenhams workers.[An Ceann Comhairle] | Vol-993 Book-6 Page [655] | |
| 28/05/2020 | [Estimates for Public Services 2020 (Resumed)] I beg the Deputy's pardon. I had not seen it in my notes. We have worked very hard in recent months to work with the Debenhams workers to support them in seeing what is available from our offices. The workers can, of course, all avail of the Covid-19... | Vol-993 Book-6 Page [655] | |
| 28/05/2020 | [Estimates for Public Services 2020 (Resumed)] I am anxious to be helpful to Deputies, and especially to new Deputies. If ten minutes have been allocated for questions and answers and if Deputies consume all ten minutes asking questions, they cannot expect the Minister to be able to answer because ... | Vol-993 Book-6 Page [655] | |
| 28/05/2020 | [Estimates for Public Services 2020 (Resumed)] A Cheann Comhairle, just to clarify-----[Gould, Thomas] | Vol-993 Book-6 Page [655] | |
| 28/05/2020 | [Estimates for Public Services 2020 (Resumed)] I am not giving out to the Deputy.[An Ceann Comhairle] | Vol-993 Book-6 Page [655] | |
| 28/05/2020 | [Estimates for Public Services 2020 (Resumed)] -----that I left a minute and a half for my specific questions.[Gould, Thomas] | Vol-993 Book-6 Page [655] | |
| 28/05/2020 | [Estimates for Public Services 2020 (Resumed)] You did, and-----[An Ceann Comhairle] | Vol-993 Book-6 Page [656] | |
| 28/05/2020 | [Estimates for Public Services 2020 (Resumed)] I thank the Ceann Comhairle for putting me right.[Gould, Thomas] | Vol-993 Book-6 Page [656] | |
| 28/05/2020 | [Estimates for Public Services 2020 (Resumed)] -----I salute you for doing so. The problem is that if we had gone through each Deputy one by one, allowing them to ask and get answers to their questions, Deputy Gould would not have got to ask any question at all. That is the problem. It is just a ... | Vol-993 Book-6 Page [656] | |
| 28/05/2020 | [Estimates for Public Services 2020 (Resumed)] Deputy Ó Cuív said earlier-----[Gould, Thomas] | Vol-993 Book-6 Page [656] | |
| 28/05/2020 | [Estimates for Public Services 2020 (Resumed)] That is not my job.[An Ceann Comhairle] | Vol-993 Book-6 Page [656] | |
| 28/05/2020 | [Estimates for Public Services 2020 (Resumed)] -----that we had time. There was time not used earlier by other Deputies. We are looking for time. We want to discuss the issues.[Gould, Thomas] | Vol-993 Book-6 Page [656] | |
| 28/05/2020 | [Estimates for Public Services 2020 (Resumed)] You got the time, but it is a question of how you use it.[An Ceann Comhairle] | Vol-993 Book-6 Page [656] | |
| 28/05/2020 | [Estimates for Public Services 2020 (Resumed)] I am sorry but there was time not used by other Deputies earlier that I would have loved to use to ask the Minister more questions.[Gould, Thomas] | Vol-993 Book-6 Page [656] | |
| 28/05/2020 | [Estimates for Public Services 2020 (Resumed)] I am afraid that is not-----[An Ceann Comhairle] | Vol-993 Book-6 Page [656] | |
| 28/05/2020 | [Estimates for Public Services 2020 (Resumed)] I have a list of questions here.[Gould, Thomas] | Vol-993 Book-6 Page [656] | |
| 28/05/2020 | [Estimates for Public Services 2020 (Resumed)] That is not how-----[An Ceann Comhairle] | Vol-993 Book-6 Page [656] | |
| 28/05/2020 | [Estimates for Public Services 2020 (Resumed)] Maybe it should be amended.[Gould, Thomas] | Vol-993 Book-6 Page [656] | |
| 28/05/2020 | [Estimates for Public Services 2020 (Resumed)] Well, okay. The Deputy's party is strongly and very ably represented on all the committees of the House. If the system is to be changed, I am quite happy to have it changed. I have to operate the system as it is until such time as the change is made.... | Vol-993 Book-6 Page [656] | |
| 28/05/2020 | [Estimates for Public Services 2020 (Resumed)] I thank the Ceann Comhairle. The Minister looks like she is about to deliver the votes of the Swedish Eurovision jury. I hope Louth gets douze points when she responds.
Earlier, the Minister raised the anomaly in the temporary wage subsidy scheme as... | Vol-993 Book-6 Page [656] | |
| 28/05/2020 | [Estimates for Public Services 2020 (Resumed)] As the Deputy heard earlier from the Minister for Finance and Public Expenditure and Reform, he will bring a memorandum to Cabinet tomorrow and that wage subsidy anomaly will be resolved.
As regards maternity benefit, I do not know how many women are ... | Vol-993 Book-6 Page [658] | |
| 28/05/2020 | [Estimates for Public Services 2020 (Resumed)] This is the third time this week I find myself talking to a very nice set of curtains and a couple of television screens and it does not feel any better the more I do it. I am sure the Minister would rather be in the Chamber than the committee room. I... | Vol-993 Book-6 Page [658] | |
| 28/05/2020 | [Estimates for Public Services 2020 (Resumed)] I agree that this set-up is weird, but life is a bit weird at the moment. I would be grateful if this were the least of our worries. I am not in negotiations with the Department of Housing, Planning and Local Government over rent supplement and HAP be... | Vol-993 Book-6 Page [658] | |
| 28/05/2020 | [Estimates for Public Services 2020 (Resumed)] I appreciate that. I need to ask some further questions.
If rent assistance is the primary focus, more resources are required because it is picking up the slack for the work that would have been done by local authorities through housing assistance pa... | Vol-993 Book-6 Page [659] | |
| 28/05/2020 | [Estimates for Public Services 2020 (Resumed)] I was not saying that we are not increasing supports and money for rent supplement because we absolutely are. Today's Revised Estimates see that figure go up to €70 million. However, it is not our job to take over if the local authorities around the c... | Vol-993 Book-6 Page [660] | |
| 28/05/2020 | [Estimates for Public Services 2020 (Resumed)] Now we move to Deputy Bríd Smith.[An Ceann Comhairle] | Vol-993 Book-6 Page [660] | |
| 28/05/2020 | [Estimates for Public Services 2020 (Resumed)] Is Deputy Eamon Ryan not performing?[Smith, Bríd] | Vol-993 Book-6 Page [660] | |
| 28/05/2020 | [Estimates for Public Services 2020 (Resumed)] I am listening.[Ryan, Eamon] | Vol-993 Book-6 Page [660] | |
| 28/05/2020 | [Estimates for Public Services 2020 (Resumed)] Okay.[Smith, Bríd] | Vol-993 Book-6 Page [660] | |
| 28/05/2020 | [Estimates for Public Services 2020 (Resumed)] Everybody is being very kind to Deputy Eamon Ryan today. They are fierce anxious to keep the Deputy onside.[An Ceann Comhairle] | Vol-993 Book-6 Page [660] | |
| 28/05/2020 | [Estimates for Public Services 2020 (Resumed)] That is because he will probably be a Tánaiste or something. We are all licking up to the Deputy.[Smith, Bríd] | Vol-993 Book-6 Page [660] | |
| 28/05/2020 | [Estimates for Public Services 2020 (Resumed)] Is the Deputy trying to get on the right side of him early?[An Ceann Comhairle] | Vol-993 Book-6 Page [660] | |
| 28/05/2020 | [Estimates for Public Services 2020 (Resumed)] No, thanks. I am on the left side of him.
I get ten minutes, do I?[Smith, Bríd] | Vol-993 Book-6 Page [660] | |
| 28/05/2020 | [Estimates for Public Services 2020 (Resumed)] No. The Deputy gets eight minutes.[An Ceann Comhairle] | Vol-993 Book-6 Page [660] | |
| 28/05/2020 | [Estimates for Public Services 2020 (Resumed)] Okay. First of all, I want to repeat something that has been said here all day. There have been many Members denying in this House that there was a concerted campaign by the Government - some members of the Government and some Fianna Fáil backbenchers... | Vol-993 Book-6 Page [661] | |
| 28/05/2020 | [Estimates for Public Services 2020 (Resumed)] There is absolutely no passing of the parcel. Last week, I told the Deputy the truth, that is, that the legislation is equality legislation. If the Deputy does not take my word for it, which seems to be common practice every time we have an interactio... | Vol-993 Book-6 Page [662] | |
| 28/05/2020 | [Estimates for Public Services 2020 (Resumed)] I understand that. The Minister gave me an extensive answer, and what she is saying now is written in that answer. I accept the women can avail of compassionate leave, parental leave and all sorts of things and that they can jump through hoops but I a... | Vol-993 Book-6 Page [662] | |
| 28/05/2020 | [Estimates for Public Services 2020 (Resumed)] The Deputy clearly does not believe what I am saying to her so I ask her to Google the legislation. On doing so, she will see it is the responsibility of the Department of Justice and Equality. There was legislation passed in March by both Houses, but... | Vol-993 Book-6 Page [662] | |
| 28/05/2020 | [Estimates for Public Services 2020 (Resumed)] We shall move now to the Regional Independent Group. I call on Deputy Tóibín.[An Ceann Comhairle] | Vol-993 Book-6 Page [663] | |
| 28/05/2020 | [Estimates for Public Services 2020 (Resumed)] I encourage the Ceann Comhairle to get one of those Zoom mute buttons for the Dáil in the future to make his life a little bit easier.
It is 110 days since the general election and still the Dáil remains in a democratic twilight zone.[Tóibín, Peadar] | Vol-993 Book-6 Page [663] | |
| 28/05/2020 | [Estimates for Public Services 2020 (Resumed)] Estimates are estimates of what we are going to spend. These are no different from the Supplementary Estimate presented this time last year or the qualified substantive Estimate at the beginning of that year. This is exactly the same. It is just unfo... | Vol-993 Book-6 Page [663] | |
| 28/05/2020 | [Estimates for Public Services 2020 (Resumed)] I am sorry. The situation is not the same as for typical, normal Estimates. These are in direct contradiction to the Government's commitment to continue the Covid payments. By definition, these Estimates are hocus pocus. We in the Opposition are bei... | Vol-993 Book-6 Page [663] | |
| 28/05/2020 | [Estimates for Public Services 2020 (Resumed)] The Estimates are not in direct contradiction to the statement I made at the opening of this session five hours ago. The Estimates presented today are based on no change being made to policy. The latest legislation was passed on 19 March. The Estimat... | Vol-993 Book-6 Page [663] | |
| 28/05/2020 | [Estimates for Public Services 2020 (Resumed)] The reason I am convinced that the Government is going to make changes to the Covid payment in the future is that both Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael have stated that it is not logical for the payment to compensate certain workers for more than the income th... | Vol-993 Book-6 Page [664] | |
| 28/05/2020 | [Estimates for Public Services 2020 (Resumed)] I will go backwards to point out that the social protection code we have had in this country for many years is absolutely effective in protecting people from poverty. The Deputy does not have to take my word for it. The ESRI and Social Justice Ireland... | Vol-993 Book-6 Page [664] | |
| 28/05/2020 | [Estimates for Public Services 2020 (Resumed)] I am from a construction and farming background. Some people who want to return to work in the construction industry cannot do so because of issues with the Safe Pass scheme. For anybody who does not know, construction workers must have a Safe Pass ca... | Vol-993 Book-6 Page [665] | |
| 28/05/2020 | [Estimates for Public Services 2020 (Resumed)] I thank the Deputy but, unfortunately, neither of the issues he raised relates directly to my Department. However, he made very valid points. He is not the first to raise the Safe Pass today, or perhaps he might have raised it with the Minister for Fi... | Vol-993 Book-6 Page [666] | |
| 28/05/2020 | [Estimates for Public Services 2020 (Resumed)] Many people who are 65 years old have jobs whose job description requires them to retire at that age. The new contracts people sign now refer to 66 years. If one is 65 years of age and has worked all one's life, one has reached retirement age. Howeve... | Vol-993 Book-6 Page [666] | |
| 28/05/2020 | [Estimates for Public Services 2020 (Resumed)] Again, I would say, and the Deputy is probably well aware, that was the subject of many conversations during the general election campaign. It would be a matter for the programme for Government and I hope those negotiations will come to a successful co... | Vol-993 Book-6 Page [666] | |
| 28/05/2020 | [Estimates for Public Services 2020 (Resumed)] I call Deputy Harkin.[An Ceann Comhairle] | Vol-993 Book-6 Page [666] | |
| 28/05/2020 | [Estimates for Public Services 2020 (Resumed)] I thank the Ceann Comhairle; I am finally getting up to speak. I thank the Minister. I was pleased to hear the responses of the Minister for Finance, Deputy Donohoe, earlier today when he talked about adjusting the temporary wage subsidy for women who... | Vol-993 Book-6 Page [666] | |
| 28/05/2020 | [Estimates for Public Services 2020 (Resumed)] The first point the Deputy raised was on maternity leave. One would be daft not to see the merits. Of course I see the merits, and I will certainly make representations, as has been asked of me, so that is not a problem.
I thought we had filled the ... | Vol-993 Book-6 Page [667] | |
| 28/05/2020 | [Estimates for Public Services 2020 (Resumed)] I thank the Minister. I also want to bring to the Minister's attention the issue of victims of domestic violence about which we have spoken previously in the Chamber. I thank her for her good and ongoing work with Safe Ireland on streamlining the refe... | Vol-993 Book-6 Page [667] | |
| 28/05/2020 | [Estimates for Public Services 2020 (Resumed)] The Deputy knows that we have had two meetings with Safe Ireland and other representative bodies in recent weeks. Matters are progressing well and I will continue to make sure that we do that. Streamlining the process is the key to making sure we are ... | Vol-993 Book-6 Page [667] | |
| 28/05/2020 | [Estimates for Public Services 2020 (Resumed)] I thank the Minister. This is all about flexibility. I am not sure what stage the Minister's negotiations are at, but if she tells me she is willing to show that flexibility and find solutions for people who are in different but awful situations, I am... | Vol-993 Book-6 Page [668] | |
| 28/05/2020 | [Estimates for Public Services 2020 (Resumed)] I assume the Minister will keep those things in mind.[An Ceann Comhairle] | Vol-993 Book-6 Page [668] | |
| 28/05/2020 | [Estimates for Public Services 2020 (Resumed)] I wish to reassure the Deputy that when anybody's health and well-being is in danger or their safety is at risk, the departmental officials have discretionary powers to allow them to work outside the normal rules we would have. I know we said we have r... | Vol-993 Book-6 Page [668] | |
