- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí (Atógáil) - Leaders' Questions (Resumed) (22 Oct 2024)
Michael Fitzmaurice: Five weeks ago tomorrow, I brought up a particularly tough case during Leaders' Questions that has been going on for the past two to three years concerning young Seán. He is eating the couch at the moment, as well as opening the fridge, breaking all the delf, and going out and breaking the windows of cars. Young Seán has still been left the same way. In fairness to the...

Richard O'Donoghue: Same here.
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí (Atógáil) - Leaders' Questions (Resumed) (22 Oct 2024)
Michael Fitzmaurice: All we have got at the end of it is a father who is desperate, and siblings who have been assaulted, and the same situation. If we go to the other side of it, a neighbour of mine, a lady in her late 70s, was to get a bed in Beaumont Hospital. Her family took a week off on five occasions, took an apartment in Dublin at a cost to themselves, and took time off work to be with their mother....
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí (Atógáil) - Leaders' Questions (Resumed) (22 Oct 2024)
Simon Harris: No, it is not. It absolutely is not. There is nothing I can say or will attempt to say to suggest that it is. Deputy Fitzmaurice raised the case of Seán in the House five weeks ago and told the Dáil in very vivid and graphic terms, and I say that respectfully, of the huge challenges that Seán's father was, and clearly is, experiencing and his concerns for the welfare of...

Danny Healy-Rae: The Greens say it.
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (22 Oct 2024)
Simon Harris: No, the Greens have never said that. I do not need to speak for the Green Party but it does not say that either because it follows the evidence. We saw figures published today that show more progress on emissions reduction, farmers yet again stepping up and, quite frankly, farming and agriculture making more progress than some other parts of our economy, which should be acknowledged as...

Mary Lou McDonald: It is great that we have it. You guys did not want it.
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (22 Oct 2024)
Simon Harris: We have it anyway - we can agree on that much - so it is now a matter of having a discussion about how to spend it. I am sure we will have that conversation again. That does provide opportunities in terms of how we will use that windfall tax revenue to invest further in infrastructure. I imagine we will have a longer debate in the not-too-distant future but I do not accept that this...
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (22 Oct 2024)
Richard O'Donoghue: The reason I got into politics - I have been a building contractor all my life and I am a block layer by trade - is that I want to help build for the future. I want to use my experience. I do not build for local authorities. I have always had our own jobs to do. For 40 or 50 years, we have been promised infrastructure. The Minister of State, Deputy Niall Collins, who is sitting behind...

Seán Ó Fearghaíl: Will the Deputy allow the Taoiseach answer?

Simon Harris: I think the Deputy meant to say when I stepped up.
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (22 Oct 2024)
Richard O'Donoghue: Stepped up or stepped down, whichever.

Mattie McGrath: It is like Lanigan's Ball. He stepped out and I stepped in.
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (22 Oct 2024)
Simon Harris: When I became leader, I appointed a Minister from the Deputy's constituency to the Cabinet. The Minister of State, Deputy Niall Collins, also serves the Deputy's constituency. Both of them advocate for the area. Statements of an absolute nature that no infrastructure has been delivered do not stand up to any degree of scrutiny.

Richard O'Donoghue: Michael Collins was born close to Clonakilty.
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (22 Oct 2024)
Simon Harris: Not the one beside the Deputy.
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (22 Oct 2024)
Richard O'Donoghue: No. Where Fine Gael was born was close to Clonakilty. He was born to the son of a farmer. Since it has come into government, for decades, Fine Gael has done nothing but close down farms around this country. We then go to Eamon de Valera, who was born in New York and raised in Bruree, County Limerick, and was for Fianna Fáil. Again, we look across the Governments over decades slowly...
