- Committee on Public Petitions: Decisions on Petitions Received (24 Oct 2024)
Martin Browne: It is, and we send our thoughts to the petitioner. She is taking particular issue with the HSE's reference to best practice when, as she says, the weight of the baby was estimated as higher than was the case following birth. Also, the petitioner has an issue with what more could have been done in an accident and emergency environment. It is obviously distressing that at 22 weeks' gestation...

- Committee on Public Petitions: Decisions on Petitions Received (24 Oct 2024)
Martin Browne: It is harrowing that the weight and those six days, as the petitioner says, seem to have been contributing factors. Is it agreed to do as proposed? Agreed. P00058/24, entitled Flawed Legislation relating to Pensions and Social Security, from Mr. Frank Moran, is to ensure the entitlement of the same-sex couples to benefit from an occupational pension scheme. Changes were made to Part VIIA...
- Committee on Public Petitions: Decisions on Petitions Received (24 Oct 2024)
Martin Browne: We await a response from the Department. The petitioner appeared before the committee on 3 October. From speaking to him at the meeting, it was clear that there is a gap in respect of equal access to entitlement. This matter should be investigated and investigated as quickly as possible. We did say to the petitioner that we would do all we can. It was also suggested contact be also made...

- Select Committee on Education and Skills: Estimates for Public Services 2024
Vote 45 - Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science (Supplementary) (24 Oct 2024) Jim O'Callaghan: I thank the Minister of State. I do not think there will be too many questions. One thing that Deputy Pádraig O'Sullivan and I were pleased to see was that €116 million was going to be set for once-off cost-of-living measures for students. We had the Union of Students in Ireland before the committee earlier in the week. Cost-of-living challenges are a big issue for third level...

Vote 45 - Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science (Supplementary) (24 Oct 2024) Jim O'Callaghan: The increased stipend for PhD students that was announced in the budget is not covered in the Supplementary Estimate; it does not need to be. Does the Minister of State think it will facilitate postgraduate students in terms of their further studies?

- Family Courts Bill 2022 [Seanad]: Second Stage (24 Oct 2024)
Helen McEntee: I move: "That the Bill be now read a Second Time." I am delighted to introduce the Family Courts Bill in this House today.

- Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht – Questions on Policy or Legislation (24 Oct 2024)
Paul McAuliffe: I wish to be associated with the comments made earlier in regard to Deputy Denis Naughten in his last contribution to the House. In what I hope will not be my last contribution to the House, and I imagine many of us are in the same position, I raise the issue of Scoil Chiaráin on St. Canice's Road, in my area, which is a special school. Earlier in the summer, it received full...

Darragh O'Brien: The Deputy can be assured that I will. I know he has raised this at the parliamentary party as well, and he is a strong and active advocate on behalf of Scoil Chiaráin. He can be assured that, following what I am sure is not going to be his last intervention here in Dáil Éireann, I will raise this directly with the Minister, Deputy Foley, to ensure this project proceeds as a...
