Darragh O'Brien: The local authorities have more funding now than they have ever had. I have to say that the leadership of the new chief executive of Dublin City Council, Mr. Richard Shakespeare, and the focus he has brought to bear on housing is very welcome. Dublin City Council is delivering some fantastic new schemes and on the refurbishment and regeneration. There are in excess of 100 refurbishment and...

Darragh O'Brien: Go raibh maith agat as ucht an cheist ar an ábhar tábhachtach seo. It is good to hear the report is concise. I guarantee the Deputy that, on receiving it, the Minister of State, Deputy Dillon, and I will review it. The Minister of State has delegated responsibility in this area. I am pleased that our capital budgets for the provision of Traveller accommodation have been fully...

Fergus O'Dowd: As a TD for County Louth, I share the views of all my constituents on the appalling vista facing us, whereby an eight-year-old boy has disappeared without trace, having been missing for at least two years. I was shocked and horrified by this. We urge anybody with information to go to the Garda immediately and urgently. It is entirely unacceptable that, in the modern world, a child can...

Darragh O'Brien: I agree with the Ceann Comhairle. It is appalling and tragic to think we only know now about a child who has been missing for two years. It really beggars belief. I join Deputy O’Dowd in urging anyone with information to contact An Garda Síochána, regardless of whether he or she believes the information is of any or of little significance. I have read the media reports...

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: On Monday, it was announced that the tender for the Cork event centre would have to be reopened and retendered. It is eight years and four taoisigh since the sod was turned on the site. It was turned by Enda Kenny eight years ago, in February 2016. The people of Cork are fed up and really exhausted by this farce. It really is a farce at this stage. Regarding how we go forward, what...

Darragh O'Brien: The Government has reaffirmed its commitment to the Cork event centre. That is an important part of the decision it made this week. The Taoiseach and I submitted a memo on it to the Cabinet and it had the full support of all its members. We will see an expedited and truncated procurement process. Costs have increased. The Government has already committed €57 million in grants for...

Violet-Anne Wynne: I want to raise the matter of the special needs school bus escorts. I am aware that the Minister for Education, Deputy Foley, promised a review of the pay rates by the end of 2024. Has that been completed yet? We know an election is imminent and I am concerned about the escorts. Recently, I met two lovely, hard-working escorts who explained to me that they work with children with...

Patricia Ryan: It was said last week that the Covid inquiry was close. I want to know how close. Is it closer than the election or closer than Christmas? At this point, can we get some answers? I have asked for a date four times now, which is absolutely ridiculous. Do we not believe the hospitals and nursing home staff deserve closure? Many of them have left their posts due to mental stress. Lessons...

Darragh O'Brien: It is great to see Deputy Ryan has her voice in this House. I am very struck by the fact that there are more former Sinn Féin Members than Sinn Féin Members in the Chamber at the moment. I thank the Deputy for raising this issue. I do not have a direct answer for her.
