Simon Harris: Stop playing politics with the issue.

Holly Cairns: The report into abuse in religious-run schools is horrific. Hundreds of predators subjected thousands of children to relentless sexual abuse. Survivors described being molested, stripped naked, raped and drugged in an atmosphere of terror and silence. The abuse happened in classrooms, offices and sports facilities. Some were sexually abused in their own homes by predators who had gained...

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.

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...

- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Renewable Energy Generation (18 Sep 2024)
Ossian Smyth: I thank the Deputy. The answer indicates the Department of housing has no plans to introduce more specific guidelines on how solar farms should be developed. The Deputy asked about that. The Department is saying it is bringing in regional capacity allocations. In other words, these are projections for the amount of solar power we have produced in each region of Ireland. Those are to be...
