Gerald Nash: I will share time with Deputy Duncan Smith. The Ireland of 2024 is a country of winners and losers. It is a country of contrasts and contradictions. It is a paradox of plenty, if ever there was one. We have record corporation tax receipts and record numbers of our citizens without a home. We have the highest number of people ever at work, yet one in five of these workers subsists on...

Rose Conway-Walsh: This impacts on patients and healthcare staff throughout the State. The people in Mayo want me to ask how many more projects are handled in the same manner. How much more of our money is wasted? How much more is this Government hiding from us? How many times is commercial sensitivity used to cover up costly mismanagement of projects and the granting of open-ended, undefined contracts?...

Rose Conway-Walsh: Again, there was no accountability. Everyone scattered. We have to have a public inquiry, which the taxpayer will pay for, but we have to find out the truth. We know what happened. We know how they have been failed by this and previous Governments. All of the measures introduced by the Government today are, by necessity, dealing with the fiscal space in the here and now but I do not...

Pearse Doherty: -----to cover beds, urgent care, women's health, older people, mental health and national strategies. This is a paltry sum.

Pearse Doherty: There is going to be chaos in our health system next year, just as there was each year before because the Government is deliberately not making the types of improvements and reforms required with the funding that is necessary. It stands in stark contrast to Sinn Féin's comprehensive proposals. We have a plan to reform the health service, boost capacity, train the workforce of tomorrow...

Pearse Doherty: ----- to protect people from the cost-of-living crisis in the here and now, to make a lasting difference in people's lives and to tackle social exclusion and poverty. The Minister, Deputy Donohoe, talked about child poverty being a priority of the Government. Some 230,000 children are currently experiencing material deprivation. This is an increase of almost 30,000 children since 2022. If...

Pearse Doherty: The rise comes amid a 3% real decline in the average disposable income of households with children. Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael have failed families and failed children, and child poverty is deepening as a result. Child benefit is a crucial tool for tackling child poverty and supporting families. After Fianna Fáil crashed the economy in 2008, it made children pay. Remember that,...
