- An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (18 Sep 2024)
Pádraig Mac Lochlainn: I support the request from Deputy Murphy. There has been report after report of the use of Irish sovereign airspace to transport munitions to be used in the genocide of the Palestinian people and all the issues that flow from that. This has caused widespread concern among the Irish people. We do not have clarification from the Ministers for Foreign Affairs or Transport about what are the...

Thomas Pringle: On behalf of the Independent Group, I support those calls for a debate on the use of Irish airspace by the Israelis. It seems that the Government is operating on the basis that if it does not ask it will not get an answer and that is the best way to do it. We need to address that and quickly. Therefore I support a debate this week.

Simon Harris: I wish to be associated with the Ceann Comhairle’s comments on former Deputy Joe Carey. I wish him, his wife Grace and his family the very best and I thank him for his service to this House, to my party and to the people of County Clare. My understanding is that there was no dissent at the Business Committee to the Order of Business but new season, same old, so that is okay. ...

Michael Fitzmaurice: The problem appears to be that if a case is a difficult one, the provider can decide that it is too much hassle and throw the money back. That is what is going on. People need to start being responsible for the jobs they have at hand. The facts at the moment are that if someone is under 18 years of age there is really no place to go. We tried everything for that youngster. It is such a...

Simon Harris: I can hear the passion in the Deputy's voice about the situation he is working his way through. I think it highlights a broader issue about how we empower the person with a disability and their family in terms of the budget that the State allocates to them. I know the Minister, Deputy O'Gorman, and the Minister of State, Deputy Rabbitte, and others have done work in relation to this....

In accordance with the provisions of Standing Order 230, the resignation took effect upon receipt of the letter. I am sure we all want to join in extending our very best wishes to Joe, who has had...

Seán Ó Fearghaíl: Is that agreed?
- An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (18 Sep 2024)
Paul Murphy: It is not agreed. The Taoiseach and the Tánaiste have told the Dáil that Irish sovereign airspace has not been used to transport weapons to Israel. We know now from the journalism of The Ditch, that this is not the case. At least six flights containing munitions have flown through Irish sovereign airspace on their way to Israel. Either the Taoiseach and the Tánaiste...

Seán Ó Fearghaíl: Thank you, Deputy.
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (18 Sep 2024)
Michael Fitzmaurice: The hospital in Galway said to bring him home because it did not have a bed. Is that the Ireland we have for treating people with disabilities? Are we going to change it and tell people they have a job to do and they must deliver? This is not about money; it is about delivery. It is scandalous what that father has gone through.
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (18 Sep 2024)
Simon Harris: I thank Deputy Fitzmaurice for raising this important matter. First, in relation to Lough Funshinagh, I thank him for the constructive engagement he has had with the Government on the matter. I am pleased Roscommon County Council intends to submit a planning application to An Bord Pleanála this week. I have been in the homes of the people impacted. The fear they are living with is...

Simon Harris: Welcome back, Deputy Barry. The Minister is instead examining ways to ensure that funding is provided so that front-line services can be maintained. We will continue to work with Deputies in Cork and Kerry on this matter.

Michael Collins: I thank the Taoiseach for his reply. He said this should never have happened. This is happening on a weekly basis in Cork county and, from what I hear, it is happening on a weekly basis nationally. The Taoiseach needs to step in immediately. Members of the public in Cork county and city, and nationally, deserve nothing less than a seven-day ambulance service that they can access in no...

Simon Harris: With respect to the Deputy, I appreciate he is raising an important issue but he gave a view in relation to confidence and said nobody had confidence, etc. Just to be clear, I have confidence in the head of the National Ambulance Service, Robert Morton, in the management of the National Ambulance Service and in the people working in the National Ambulance Service.
