Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht – Questions on Policy or Legislation (24 Oct 2024)

Peter Fitzpatrick: In the 14 years I have been a TD, the current lack of availability of rental property is without doubt the worst I have seen. I live in Dundalk. I hold my clinics every Monday and Friday, and for the last number of months, the increased footfall has been unreal. People just cannot find affordable properties, especially if they are on HAP. There is a stigma to HAP. The number of people...

Darragh O'Brien: We had a good debate this morning and during the week about housing output. The solution is supply, and we are increasing supply substantially. In Louth, the Deputy's county, he sees that and he sees the new builds, cost-rental and affordable homes for the first time and very impressive social housing output. I want any specific example the Deputy has. There is capacity in our emergency...

Mattie McGrath: I ask the Minister to act as an honest broker between Tipperary County Council and Mr. Price in Tipperary town. Enforcement proceedings are being taken to hunt the retailer Mr. Price out of the town, which is on its knees. Mr. Price is a blended retailer selling a mix of convenience, comparison and bulky goods and has 65 stores nationwide in town centres and shopping centres within its...

Seán Ó Fearghaíl: I cannot allow the Minister to intervene; for him to do so would be illegal.

Darragh O'Brien: That is a fact. That is what I was going to say. The planning Act precludes me from doing that.

Thomas Pringle: Anyone who watched the RTÉ documentary "Anorexia, My Family and Me" will have seen the devastating impact of eating disorders. There has been a terrifying rise in eating disorders in this country, and it requires a lot more attention than it is being given. In Donegal, 17 young people in child and adolescent mental health services were being treated for eating disorders in 2020. That...

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht – Questions on Policy or Legislation (24 Oct 2024)

Darragh O'Brien: I saw that programme as well. It is unquestionable, as the Minister of State, Deputy Butler, has said, that we have seen a significant increase in eating disorders. We are able to see the impact that has on the individuals themselves and their families. In April of this year, as Deputy Pringle will know, the Minister of State announced additional funding for the eating disorders programme...

John Brady: On 28 June, my 11-year-old daughter had just broken for her school holidays and was looking forward to the summer that lay ahead. Little did we know what was to unfold. At 12.30 that night, Croía had a spontaneous brain haemorrhage. She received phenomenal care in Beaumont, Crumlin and Temple Street hospitals, particularly from all those in St. Gabriel's ward, from the cleaners, the...

Darragh O'Brien: I was not aware of that. On a personal level, I wish the Deputy and, obviously, his daughter in particular all the very best for a speedy recovery. I am sure that was a traumatic event for her and for the Deputy's family. I do not have the numbers to hand. The Deputy has referred to 30% of children in Wicklow waiting six months or more. I cannot back that up here. I could go through...

Éamon Ó Cuív: Tá áthas orm gurb é an tAire atá anseo inniu, and the reason I am so pleased he is here is that I have raised time and again in this house the issue of Travellers living in caravans, or trailers, as they prefer to call them. Many of these are old and many of them are freezing cold in the winter, and as we come into another winter, this problem is not solved. The Joint...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (24 Oct 2024)

Carol Nolan: I thank the Minister for his reply. Everyone certainly needs to work together, but this is an emergency situation. Private therapists need to be brought into our special schools quickly. The only way that can be done is if all the REOs are directed to provide the funding to allow for these private therapists in the meantime, because the children are really finding it difficult. It is...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (24 Oct 2024)

Darragh O'Brien: I will certainly take every point Deputy Nolan has raised and raise them with the Minister for Education and the Minister for Health. We discuss this issue at Cabinet regularly. As regards private assessment of need, that is, being able to utilise the private sector to work through the private assessments, we allocated just under €7 million in May 2024, as the Deputy will be...

Pearse Doherty: Ordinary motorists struggling with the cost-of-living crisis are getting a raw deal from this Government and the hits keep on coming. The first hit was that the Government failed to rein in insurance companies that are increasing rip-off premiums. The Government actually blocked my legislation which would have forced costs down. The second hit came when the Government chose to hike up...

Darragh O'Brien: First, the Government does not set the tolls. The Deputy knows that, too. Let us be straight, clear and honest with people. I have to say, though, and it is not often I agree with Deputy Doherty, the proposed toll increases are far too high, particularly at this current time. For example, there will be an increase of €1 to the peak-time rate on Dublin Port Tunnel’s...

Ivana Bacik: As the conflict in Gaza and Lebanon increases and worsens, our thoughts are with all those killed, wounded, bereaved or displaced in that conflict. We must do more to stop the war and to impose effective sanctions on Israel. I met yesterday with members of Irish Healthcare Workers for Palestine, who are doing incredible work trying to bring wounded children out of Gaza. They impressed...

Darragh O'Brien: This situation in the area, not just in Gaza, is absolutely despicable. It is a wasteland where thousands and thousands of people have been murdered by the Israeli army. I do not call it the Israel Defense Forces anymore because this is not a defensive action. Let us not forget about the West Bank and what is happening there, with attacks by settlers supported by the Israeli army, and the...

Richard Boyd Barrett: Another day, another massacre by Israel in Gaza. In the latest attack, 17 people were killed in a school-turned-shelter in Nuseirat. Among those murdered are Mamdouh, 11 months old; a five-year old, Malak; a seven-year-old, Hamad; an eight-year-old, Mahmoud; Moatassem, nine years old; and many others. Clearly, Israel is not going to stop murdering, killing and massacring until it is...
