- An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (18 Sep 2024)
Simon Harris: Not one of you sought this at the Business Committee. For those watching the theatrics at home, none of the Deputies dissented to the Order of Business and then they come to the House asking why we are not having a debate on housing. The reason is because they did not raise it.

- An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (18 Sep 2024)
Simon Harris: We will call a vote and they will be upset about the business but none of them bothered dissenting at the meeting. Let us have a little bit of fairness and give and take here. Deputy McGrath's commitment to investment in water services is something we share. The Government is very keen to do more in relation to water. Irish Water as a vehicle is delivering but investing more in its...

- An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (18 Sep 2024)
Seán Ó Fearghaíl: Yes, Deputy.
- An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (18 Sep 2024)
Danny Healy-Rae: It is fairly hard for any Deputy in the House to get elected. For each Deputy, it is a difficult ordeal. Notwithstanding that, it is easy enough to come up from Kerry. There are no restrictions all the way on the road up but it is getting increasingly more difficult to come into this building. On my way, I went out of the Dáil and I wanted to come back up through Molesworth Street....
- An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (18 Sep 2024)
Seán Ó Fearghaíl: All right Deputy. There are security measures in place because of threatened protest outside. We did not want to see happening today what happened on our return last September. The Superintendent circulated to every Member the details of how access could be achieved. I accept that it is problematic for Members and I am quite prepared to talk to them offline about how we might improve...
- Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Pre-Budget Engagement (18 Sep 2024)
Bernard Durkan: I welcome our guests and thank them for their input. A couple of issues come to mind. The issues requiring attention at this stage, which have already been mentioned, are housing and health. Education needs to be noted as an area for further investment. There are bottlenecks arising there that need to be dealt with. The other thing that is necessary nowadays is to look at where we spend...
- Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Pre-Budget Engagement (18 Sep 2024)
Bernard Durkan: I welcome the Ministers and their respective staffs. I congratulate them on their efforts to date and the economic performance which is satisfactory. There are always pitfalls that have to be identified and avoided, if possible, and provided for in order to ensure the smooth movement of the economy in the future. On the commentary on foreign direct investment, the Apple tax and so on, we...
- An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (18 Sep 2024)
Ivana Bacik: I welcome the Government's commitment to establish a commission of investigation in the wake of the awful revelations about abuse of children in religious-run schools as illustrated in Mary O’Toole’s scoping inquiry. I also pay tribute to Mark and David Ryan. Can we have clarity from the Taoiseach on the timing of when the Government will introduce the terms of reference,...
- An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (18 Sep 2024)
Cian O'Callaghan: The Taoiseach has claimed that 40,000 new-build homes would be completed this year. A report from the Central Bank published this morning rubbishes this claim and states it will be 8,000 homes short. Does the Taoiseach accept the findings of the Central Bank report? Given that another report published today shows that house prices have increased by 10% in the past 12 months, will the...
