Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: Humanitarian Crisis in Sudan: Discussion (8 Oct 2024)

David Stanton: I will ask two final questions, the first of which is on the role of outside actors. The UAE and others have been mentioned as playing a major part in the situation. Do the witnesses have any comment to make on this? Second, what is the possibility of legal proceedings further down the road? They would be a long way away, but would the threat of such proceedings have an impact now if it...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: Humanitarian Crisis in Sudan: Discussion (8 Oct 2024)

David Stanton: I add my voice to that of Deputy Cronin with respect to the people working on the ground - the humanitarian workers and others - and recognise their bravery and courage in the work they are doing. It is amazing.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: Humanitarian Crisis in Sudan: Discussion (8 Oct 2024)

David Stanton: I just want to thank our guests for their presentations and the work their people are doing. The situation looks intractable. It really looks very bad. It is one of the worst cases I have seen. I do not know. I like to have hope. We will have to explore the matter further and do anything further we can. Some of the suggestions we got here were to write to the Tánaiste and the...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (8 Oct 2024)

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: The trolley crisis has become an all-year scandal on the watch of this Government. A total of 98 patients were counted by nurses on trolleys and chairs at Cork University Hospital this morning, many of them elderly and quite unwell. This is a record, according to the INMO. A total of 118 were counted at University Hospital Limerick, which continues to be a disaster zone. In the five...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (8 Oct 2024)

Helen McEntee: A record amount of funding is going into health, which means we are making progress in reducing the number of patients on trolleys nationwide. The Minister for Health chairs monthly meetings with senior HSE figures to drive improved performance. There has been a significant reduction in the cumulative daily 8 a.m. trolley count over the first eight months of 2024, with numbers down 11% to...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (8 Oct 2024)

Ivana Bacik: Tomorrow the Government will guillotine through the Planning and Development Bill even though it is one of the most important Bills this Dáil will consider because planning will determine our capacity to resolve the housing crisis, the energy crisis and, indeed, transport infrastructure. Ironically, under our planning laws, if a council or local authority made a decision the way the...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (8 Oct 2024)

Helen McEntee: We must appreciate that this Bill has had over 170 hours of debate, which is more than I have seen for any Bill during my time in this House. Deputies and Senators have had the opportunity to raise all of these matters on various Stages. The most important thing I hear from constituents, developers and those working in this sector is they need many of these amendments and this legislation...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (8 Oct 2024)

Catherine Murphy: None of us need a reminder about the destruction caused by the economic crash, out of which Anglo Irish Bank and Irish Nationwide were combined to form IBRC and NAMA was formed to deal with the loans of the pillar banks. IBRC was the biggest liquidation in the history of the State. Both organisations dealt with very high-profile cases and individuals. I recently attended a meeting of the...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (8 Oct 2024)

Gary Gannon: I find it very disheartening that the Fine Gael TD does not believe it is important or that peacekeepers deserve appropriate time-----

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (8 Oct 2024)

Alan Farrell: It has nothing to do with the issue; it has to do with the Deputy's timing. The Deputy had loads of time to deal with it.

Gary Gannon: It is important and I would like to see a statement on the matter.

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (8 Oct 2024)

Richard Boyd Barrett: I am very happy to support the call for statements on child protection. They should take place this week. It is a serious issue. However, we have asked for some time for the Government to allow for a discussion and questions to the Minister on the use of Shannon by the US military and the use of Irish airspace for the transport of weapons from the US to Israel to kill children in Gaza and...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (8 Oct 2024)

Mattie McGrath: Of course we in the Rural Independents agree with the request for time to debate offences against children and the whole issue in this regard, but there are many issues that we want to discuss here that the Government will not discuss. The Chief Whip could have had an incorporeal meeting of the Business Committee before sabotaging our business here today. She did not even move the Order of...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (8 Oct 2024)

Thomas Pringle: I fully support the call for a debate on the situation in Lebanon and Gaza. That is vital. Also, we should ask the Government to withdraw the Planning and Development Bill. Six-hundred and twenty seven amendments have come back from the Seanad but it is proposed to have only three hours of debate tomorrow. It is ridiculous to allow such a big Bill to go through in that way. If the...
