Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (16 Oct 2024)

Paschal Donohoe: I want to say directly to the people in those towns and communities that are affected by the issues the Deputy has referred to that I am not in a position to come into the Dáil today and give a very specific answer on the status of wastewater treatment plants for different towns and villages within our country. If he had given me an indication that he was going to raise these specific...

Michael Collins: I thank the Minister. What is wrong with Uisce Éireann? The Minister is saying the Government is pouring money in it. Even if it was moving at a snail's pace, some of these towns would have their wastewater treatment plants built, but it is not even moving at that pace. It cannot be money as in some of the towns I mentioned, we have offered co-funding to speed up the process and get...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (16 Oct 2024)

Paschal Donohoe: We need action but I think we also deserve some honesty about the work of Uisce Éireann. In the Deputy's second contribution, I think he suggested that it in some way is the culprit for this.

Paschal Donohoe: That is not a recipe for progress or a recipe for a solution. I want to offer my full support to the work that Uisce Éireann does. While we all remember the difficulty involved in setting up that organisation, it is only through a unitary water authority like that body that we will be able to put in place the investment at scale that is needed to ensure that Ireland has safe water in...

Claire Kerrane: I wish to raise the terrifying case of Najwa Alsabbagh, who is 74 years old and is trapped in northern Gaza which has been and remains under deadly bombardment. An Irish visa was granted for her to travel here back in February and eight months later she is still trapped in Gaza. I have raised this with the Tánaiste and the Taoiseach several times, and I have also raised it with the...

Paschal Donohoe: Given the terrible circumstances the Deputy referred to and the obvious sensitivity of the case, again I wish the Deputy had given me some indication of her question because a specific question deserves a specific answer. Given the lack of indication on it, all I can do is give a general commitment. I know the Department of Foreign Affairs, the Tánaiste and our diplomats have spared no...

Ivana Bacik: We are all aware of the terrible impact on children of long waiting lists, particularly for those with scoliosis and spina bifida. As we head into flu season, all of us are thinking about healthcare and the health of our children, and we all know how much we need a new national children's hospital. Last week, the Minister for Health, Deputy Donnelly, and members of the board of the...
