Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (22 Oct 2024)

Mary Lou McDonald: Young people and students working within the healthcare system are going to watch very carefully to see what we have to say and whether we are prepared to put our money where our mouths are. On this side of the House we certainly are. I will send on details of the individual case to the Minister. I hope the Taoiseach takes the point, which is made in good faith, that it is in all of our...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (22 Oct 2024)

Mary Lou McDonald: I would first like to address information which I placed on the Dáil record last week relating to an incident where a Sinn Féin representative sent inappropriate text messages to a young person. It was then my understanding that the young person was 17 years of age because of the information provided on his application form when he applied to join Ógra Shinn Féin. That...

Mary Lou McDonald: Our student nurses and midwives are incredible. They do invaluable nursing work while on placement on wards and, in fact, they keep our hospitals going. They do a minimum of 28 hours a week and they work far beyond their training duties. The McHugh review of 2022 addressed pay for intern nurses. However, the new subsistence allowance for first-to-third-year student nurses does not go...

James O'Connor: Does Mr. Conlon believe it represents value for taxpayers, at a cost of €1.4 million? I do not want to hear any excuses around advanced security features. There are no armed security personnel operating out of it. As I see it, it is a brass roof on a box of glass. I want to understand what are Mr. Conlon's thoughts on spending more than €1.4 million on that piece of...

James O'Connor: Is there something like an ejector seat in there? I went down to see it, as I considered that prudent, before I came here today to speak about it. I did not see any of the things Mr. Conlon is talking about. I saw a glass security box with a few CCTV cameras and a ramp to stop vehicles from passing through. I cannot understand how that cost €1.4 million.
