We hope to do that in the next few weeks. If the witnesses wish to send any further information to us in that short timeframe, we would appreciate...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Progress on Sustainable Development Goals: Discussion (8 Oct 2024)
Brian Leddin: We only have a few minutes left but I want to pick up on the discussion around sustainable cities and communities. One of the more significant pieces of work that the Government is doing at present relates to sustainable cities and communities, which is the national planning framework review. I do not know if any of our guests want to comment on this but it seems that it does not get the...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Progress on Sustainable Development Goals: Discussion (8 Oct 2024)
Brian Leddin: Irish Rail is not here to answer that, but in fairness to it, it has probably been starved of investment going back decades, if not generations. It has probably been five or six decades. It is at the point now where it is being blamed for the lack of a fourth track on the northern line and for it not being possible to provide the services. People suffer, give up and turn to commuting by...

The discussions we have had today are part of what has become an annual event. We have set a strong precedent at this committee that we will have an annual discussion on progress on the sustainable development goals. It is...
- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla (Atógáil) - Topical Issue Debate (Resumed): Prison Service (3 Oct 2024)
Chris Andrews: I thank the Minister of State and appreciate his coming in but the reality is that 600 prisoners in Mountjoy Prison are in addiction and there is no addiction nurse. Appointing clinical leads is well and good, but who will they work with? There are no addiction nurses for them to work with. How will that operate? It seems extraordinary. There are 180 prisoners in Mountjoy on methadone. ...
- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla (Atógáil) - Topical Issue Debate (Resumed): Prison Service (3 Oct 2024)
Colm Burke: I set out in my reply that there are 19 addiction counsellors working across 11 prisons, providing an invaluable rehabilitative service to prisoners, and it is hoped that in the coming months this service will be further enhanced. I understand the point the Deputy has raised but believe there is now a commitment to further expand the role of the nurses. I hope that will happen over the next...

- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla (Atógáil) - Topical Issue Debate (Resumed): Heritage Sites (3 Oct 2024)
Kieran O'Donnell: I thank Deputy Durkan for raising this important matter. I note the point he has raised. I have stated, in my time as Minister of State, that Lime Avenue is not a permanent access point. There are varying views in terms of it being a temporary access. As far as a permanent access is concerned, however, that is not something I am looking at. The Deputy is right; there is a need for a...
