Ceisteanna - Questions: Departmental Policies (22 Oct 2024)

Simon Harris: I propose to take Questions Nos. 1 to 4, inclusive, together. Ireland's well-being framework is a programme for Government initiative to measure progress and policy impact in Ireland in a more holistic way. The framework consists of 11 dimensions which reflect different aspects of well-being. It is supported by a dashboard hosted by the Central Statistics Office, CSO, and made up of 35...

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: The national planning framework should be a cornerstone of our planning process underpinning the national development plan. It is absolutely vital to achieving our climate commitments, not just in the development of offshore renewables, which is pivotal in getting to our 2030 targets, but also about stitching in transport-oriented and transport-led development to make sure we can drive down...

Simon Harris: The party leaders, including the Deputy's own colleague, the Minister, Deputy O'Gorman, had a briefing on this matter with the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government yesterday. It is at a very advanced stage. It is something I would certainly like to see happen in the lifetime of this Government. I believe it is possible. It is obviously a collective decision and there is a...

Claire Kerrane: In 2011 the accident and emergency department at Roscommon was closed. At that time a commitment was made by Fine Gael that there would be 24-7 advanced paramedic cover because we were further away from the nearest accident and emergency department. This commitment was made. Five years ago we had 13 advanced paramedics in the Roscommon ambulance base. Today we have three. The NAS keeps...

Simon Harris: I thank Deputy Kerrane for raising the issue. I know all too well the importance of advanced paramedic cover. The Deputy is quite right to highlight the difference between it and more regular paramedic cover. I would be interested and will inquire with the Minister for Health as to what is behind that fall-off in numbers. I will talk to the Minister, Deputy Stephen Donnelly and revert to...

Christopher O'Sullivan: I want to raise a serious issue facing the fishing sector. Norwegian vessels are plundering mackerel stocks. In conjunction with the UK and Faroe Islands, they have set themselves massively inflated quotas for mackerel. Scientific advice is saying that quotas should be reduced by 22% but it is the Irish and European boats that are going to have to face the 22% reduction. Meanwhile, while...

Simon Harris: I thank the Deputy for raising this important issue for fishermen and the fishing communities he represents. I will certainly talk to the Minister, Deputy McConalogue, about this issue and, if the Minister believes it appropriate, am very happy to assist in raising and escalating this at European level.

Brendan Griffin: I want to ask the Taoiseach about the Farranfore to Lissyviggeen N22 road scheme, the Killarney outer bypass scheme. Traffic congestion in and around Killarney town is now a serious issue. On the doors at the weekends, the issue is constantly coming up. People are very frustrated with the time it takes now to travel in and around Killarney. During my time in politics this has proven to be...

Simon Harris: I thank Deputy Griffin for raising this issue and I look forward to discussing it further in Killarney in the next couple of days. My understanding is technical advisers were appointed for the scheme in April 2020. I have been told that the Department of Transport has advised that TII can provide the money required to Kerry County Council to progress the route option selection phase. A...

Martin Browne: I see the Minister of State, Deputy Butler, is there. I would appreciate if she or the Taoiseach could find out more for me about the community nursing home for Cashel. The latest information from the HSE, 20 months since indicating it was considering other sites outside of St. Patrick's, is that no decision has been made. It is now nearly 17 months since Palmer's Hill was confirmed to be...

Mary Butler: There are no half promises in relation to CNUs. The Government in 2016 announced a massive project to rebuild 90 CNUs across the length and breadth of the country. Some 48 of them are concluded. We lost two years during Covid as I think everybody would understand. There are seven currently under way, one in Clonmel in south Tipperary which will be handed over to the HSE in quarter 1 of...

Danny Healy-Rae: What has this Government of Fine Gael, Fianna Fáil and the Green Party got against the people of Kerry? For a number of weeks the ophthalmology unit in Tralee general hospital has been closed. There are over 800 people waiting on different lists to be seen in the eye unit in Tralee. It has been there since the foundation of the State and it is closed down now. We are doing our best...
