An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (22 Oct 2024)

Pádraig Mac Lochlainn: As the Government Chief Whip will know, we dissented from the schedule last week. What I want to raise right now is the poll in The Irish News today that reveals that for the first time there is no longer a majority in favour of remaining in the union. In 2015, the figure was 59.1%. Now it is 48.6%. Will the Government hold statements on this matter and to commit to it? We need to talk...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (22 Oct 2024)

Ivana Bacik: I welcome the Taoiseach's comments this morning that he is looking for a pathway to progress the occupied territories Bill. That is welcome. I also note, however, that he said it will be challenging to see it passed before the election, whenever that will be. On this side of the House, I think we would all be willing to facilitate the speedy passing of the Bill, given the ongoing...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (22 Oct 2024)

Holly Cairns: I will speak on the same issue. As we speak genocide is happening in Gaza. We will probably never know the full extent of the death toll of the people lying under rubble. It is shameful that this State maintains economic, diplomatic and travel relationships with Israel, a state that is unashamedly committing war crimes by the second. The people of this country have wanted action for a...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (22 Oct 2024)

Richard Boyd Barrett: Another day, another Israeli massacre in Gaza. Since dawn, another 45 innocents have been slaughtered by this terrorist regime. Almost certainly, the weapons that killed those people came from the United States and possibly travelled through Irish airspace. The US military, which supports all this, is also using our airports. Will the Government give us the debate we asked for about the...

Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation Accounts 2023
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024)

James O'Connor: I had asked about the correspondence relating to the bike shelter. I acknowledge that we are now in possession of correspondence dated 19 October 2020. I wanted to ask a couple of questions about that. There was a letter to the Ceann Comhairle, which was dated after the general election and which was signed by Deputies Bacik, Cannon, Costello, Carroll MacNeill, Leddin, Matthews, Ó...

Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024)

James O'Connor: I do not want to be personal. I know Mr. Conlon is new to his post. Is he abreast of the details relating to this matter? It is a major policy crisis. Ms Collier has dealt with a lot today, to be fair to her. Mr. Conlon is the boss.

Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation Accounts 2023
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024)

James O'Connor: The letter that Mr. Conlon provided states that before the February 2020 election, Senator Bacik and other colleagues had raised this issue on many occasions with the commission, and Senator Bacik had convened a meeting in October 2018 with both Oireachtas Members and staff who were cyclists and passed on the concerns of all those-----

Catherine Murphy: Is this relevant to the OPW?

Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation Accounts 2023
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (22 Oct 2024)

James O'Connor: It is, because the OPW is developing it. I want to get an insight. This is correspondence that the OPW has chosen to provide and I want to refer to it. The OPW withheld the cost from the commission. For the people who are listening in, the commission is made up of Members of all parties of all political creeds. These individuals are appointed by their respective party whips or political...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí (Atógáil) - Leaders' Questions (Resumed) (22 Oct 2024)

Michael Fitzmaurice: I have acknowledged the person in the Taoiseach's office who has been in constant contact. I am not having a go at anybody here. I am having a go at the fact it has been meeting after meeting since then. There will be another meeting next Thursday. There has been plenty of talk, but there is only one thing the HSE has said, which is that it has no resolution. Imagine that. Those are the...

Richard O'Donoghue: The facts are there.

Simon Harris: Here are other facts as well. When I visit the Deputy's county, which I do regularly, and intend to visit very regularly shortly-----

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (22 Oct 2024)

Richard O'Donoghue: It must be an election.

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (22 Oct 2024)

Simon Harris: There will be. I wish the Deputy well in it. There will be many people in his county who will recognise progress has been made on infrastructure. In fact, there is probably not a part of Ireland that has greater levels of third-level infrastructure per head of population than Limerick city and country - we now have three universities in Limerick - providing young people with an incredible...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (22 Oct 2024)

Richard O'Donoghue: Where are they?

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (22 Oct 2024)

Simon Harris: They are in the Deputy's county of Limerick.

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (22 Oct 2024)

Richard O'Donoghue: In the city.

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (22 Oct 2024)

Simon Harris: I presume Limerick city is part of your county so that is fine. On Askeaton, the wastewater treatment plant is being advanced by Uisce Éireann through funding provided by this Government. This is funding that the Deputy probably votes against in the Dáil, when we try to pass budgets.
