Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Student Accommodation (8 Oct 2024)

Ruairi Ó Murchú: I ask the Minister of State to outline the funding that will go to each university for the delivery of student accommodation beds.

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...

Ruairi Ó Murchú: The reason people are absolutely shocked by the spending of €9 million on mobile phone pouches, which is almost hard to put into words, is because I am assuming everyone here is constantly contacted by parents and families of those with disabilities and autism who are dealing with the fact that there are not enough places at either primary or secondary level. We do not have enough...

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

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...
