Ceisteanna - Questions: Cross-Border Co-operation (9 Jul 2024)

Simon Harris: I thank colleagues for raising a number of issues. Without commenting on individual decisions of the courts, it is absolutely the case that the epidemic of violence by men against women and attacking women does not stop at any border. I say in the spirit of co-operation that there is more we can do on the island together. I know we will have willing interlocutors in the Northern Ireland...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Cross-Border Co-operation (9 Jul 2024)

Simon Harris: I propose to take Questions Nos. 8 to 15, inclusive, together. The Government continues to prioritise and progress the shared island initiative. Our commitment is to work with all communities and political traditions for a shared future, underpinned by the Good Friday Agreement. On 20 February, the Government announced the largest ever package of funding for cross-Border investments....

Ceisteanna - Questions: Cross-Border Co-operation (9 Jul 2024)

Mick Barry: If you do not have the right bus ticket in Belfast, you will be fined £50 by Translink. Yesterday, a Belfast court ruled that a young man had to pay £50 to his former partner for repeated horrifying assaults that included punching, headbutting and holding a knife to her throat. The sentence was suspended and a two-year restraining order was put in place. Just weeks after...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Cross-Border Co-operation (9 Jul 2024)

Mary Lou McDonald: The Taoiseach uttered a jibe earlier around the issue of housing north of the Border, which causes me to raise and remind him that the North is grossly underfunded, which is now a recognised fact. The pressures will be felt most acutely in health and education. We have been clear with people from the get-go on that. I ask that rather than taking potshots at me or Michelle O'Neill...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Constitutional Amendments (9 Jul 2024)

Mick Barry: I would like to talk about the right to housing. Rickets, anaemia, faltering growth, extreme tooth decay and scabies are just some of the extreme health conditions now being reported by medical professionals regarding children living in emergency accommodation across this State. There are now 4,316 kids living in emergency accommodation. Ten years ago, the figure was just 700. With Fine...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Constitutional Amendments (9 Jul 2024)

Richard Boyd Barrett: I want to ask about the consequences of the defeated care referendum. I think the Taoiseach knows and we all know that a significant part of why that was defeated was the anger of people with disabilities, special needs, carers, and so on, about the failure of the Government to include real rights for carers and people with disability in the Constitution. I do not anticipate that the...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Constitutional Amendments (9 Jul 2024)

Paul Murphy: The programme for Government makes a commitment to hold a referendum on housing. The time of this Government is coming to an end one way or another. It is simply a matter of months before the next election. The Housing Commission went off and proposed wording which states: 1°: The State recognises that having a home is of fundamental importance to quality of life and that access to...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Constitutional Amendments (9 Jul 2024)

Ruairi Ó Murchú: I will also deal with right to housing. I brought up the issue before of the affordable housing scheme in Cois Farraige in Blackrock, just outside Dundalk. I am expecting word back. First and foremost, €305,000 is not affordable for a huge number of people in the general Dundalk area. Only five of those who applied qualified when there were meant to be ten houses offered. Louth...
