- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (18 Sep 2024)
Simon Harris: I thank the Deputy for raising this extraordinarily important issue. Lives have been destroyed. A national trauma has been unleashed and I join with her in paying tribute to Mark - I am thinking of him and his memory today - his brother David and, indeed, all the survivors and victims who came forward. They have done the State an extraordinary service. Let me be crystal clear just in...

Mary Lou McDonald: The difficulty is the Taoiseach has not done everything he can to resolve this situation. Harvey's parents, Steven and Gillian, are in the Public Gallery. They should not be here. They very fact that parents of children with scoliosis and spina bifida have to come to the Dáil in this way is a testament to failure in and of itself because their child is running out of time. That is...

Simon Harris: Deputy McDonald is better than that. At least, I thought she was. She is asking me, as a politician, to give a commitment to a child to have an operation regardless of whether a clinician believes that operation to be the best care pathway or not. That is what the Deputy is asking me to do.

Seán Ó Fearghaíl: I will now take Leaders' Questions under Standing Order 36. It is my pleasure to call Deputy McDonald.

Mary Lou McDonald: Go raibh maith agat, a Cheann Comhairle. The Taoiseach's treatment of children with scoliosis and spina bifida who are waiting for surgery is disgraceful. These children wait in agony for operations that can save and change their lives and the longer they wait, the worse their condition gets. It is a race against the clock and against the child's condition becoming inoperable and the...

- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (18 Sep 2024)
Simon Harris: I thank Deputy McDonald for raising this important issue. I will say at the outset, as the Ceann Comhairle has said to us before in this House, I am very conscious of discussing clinical details or, indeed, those of us discussing them who are not clinicians. I say that in a general sense but I say it in an important sense because Deputy McDonald asked me to provide operations when, of...

Seán Ó Fearghaíl: I welcome you all back. Apologies that the bells did not ring. Members might indulge me for a moment because I am conscious we are facing into an extremely busy parliamentary schedule with a number of very important items of business over the next number of weeks. Before we begin today's session, however, it would be remiss of me as Ceann Comhairle not to make a few remarks on the issue of...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: General Scheme of the Conclusion of IBRC Special Liquidation and Dissolution of NAMA Bill: Department of Finance (18 Sep 2024)
Jim O'Callaghan: I have one or two questions. I am sorry if they have been asked already. I welcome all of our guests. My first question is for Mr. Carville. I am conscious that head 8 provides for the dissolution day of NAMA. I suppose it is a matter of ministerial discretion, but is it envisaged that the Minister will dissolve NAMA relatively quickly after the legislation is enacted?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: General Scheme of the Conclusion of IBRC Special Liquidation and Dissolution of NAMA Bill: Department of Finance (18 Sep 2024)
Jim O'Callaghan: In terms of the assets and liabilities, head 9 states that they go to the Minister, are paid to the Exchequer or are transferred to the NTMA. What is the current thinking as to which line will be recommended to the Minister?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: General Scheme of the Conclusion of IBRC Special Liquidation and Dissolution of NAMA Bill: Department of Finance (18 Sep 2024)
Jim O'Callaghan: This may have been answered previously, but do we have a headline on the assets and liabilities of NAMA at this stage?

Jim O'Callaghan: So it is clearly being wound down. In terms of the IBRC, what is the intention in respect of ongoing litigation? I know there are still some large pieces of litigation in respect of the IBRC. What is the intention in that regard? I am not asking about policy in respect of the cases but generally, under the legislation when it is enacted, what will be the consequence for the ongoing litigation?
