Spending of Public Funds by the Government: Motion [Private Members] (8 Oct 2024)

Spending of Public Funds by the Government: Motion [Private Members] (8 Oct 2024)

It is not listening to children who are waiting for assessments of need. The Government is not listening to children who cannot get special education places. It is not listening to children who are on waiting...

We do not have enough...

Pearse Doherty: This motion put forward by Sinn Féin is an opportunity to say "Stop" and to stop the waste. It a chance to inject a bit of common sense into the Ministers of State opposite me and a bit of humility into them, maybe. Unlike the bike shed, where the Government wasted €336,000; unlike the security hut, where it spent €1.4 million; and unlike the runaway train that is the...

Violet-Anne Wynne: Many people from all walks of life have been in contact with my office about their sheer frustration and outrage at the inexcusable and colossal waste of people's money we are here to speak about. That was well before, and pre-empts, the announcement of some €9 million of the people's money on phone pouches for schools. It was in respect of a number of other embarrassing and shameful...
