An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (8 Oct 2024)

Helen McEntee: A record amount of funding is going into health, which means we are making progress in reducing the number of patients on trolleys nationwide. The Minister for Health chairs monthly meetings with senior HSE figures to drive improved performance. There has been a significant reduction in the cumulative daily 8 a.m. trolley count over the first eight months of 2024, with numbers down 11% to...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (8 Oct 2024)

Ivana Bacik: Tomorrow the Government will guillotine through the Planning and Development Bill even though it is one of the most important Bills this Dáil will consider because planning will determine our capacity to resolve the housing crisis, the energy crisis and, indeed, transport infrastructure. Ironically, under our planning laws, if a council or local authority made a decision the way the...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (8 Oct 2024)

Helen McEntee: We must appreciate that this Bill has had over 170 hours of debate, which is more than I have seen for any Bill during my time in this House. Deputies and Senators have had the opportunity to raise all of these matters on various Stages. The most important thing I hear from constituents, developers and those working in this sector is they need many of these amendments and this legislation...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (8 Oct 2024)

Catherine Murphy: None of us need a reminder about the destruction caused by the economic crash, out of which Anglo Irish Bank and Irish Nationwide were combined to form IBRC and NAMA was formed to deal with the loans of the pillar banks. IBRC was the biggest liquidation in the history of the State. Both organisations dealt with very high-profile cases and individuals. I recently attended a meeting of the...

Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth: Commission for Future Generations Bill 2023: Discussion (8 Oct 2024)

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: I congratulate the Chairperson on her ascension to the role. I thank the committee members for the opportunity to address them regarding my Private Member's Bill, the Commission for Future Generations Bill 2023. I acknowledge the important work this committee has done over the course of this Dáil term and thank committee members for taking the time in their work schedule to consider...

Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth: Commission for Future Generations Bill 2023: Discussion (8 Oct 2024)

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: I thank the Senator for his positive comments. It does say in the section he referenced "including but not limited to". I was very conscious that I was bringing a particular perspective to the Bill I was writing, and that by bringing my perspective, I was surely missing other people's perspective. If that makes it as far as Committee Stage, and if Senator Clonan's suggestion were to be...

Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth: Commission for Future Generations Bill 2023: Discussion (8 Oct 2024)

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: This goes to the heart of the matter. Some very good work is being done in the Department of the Taoiseach on the well-being framework. I acknowledge that. Ms Bourke and Ms Jacobs will know that I have particular views around the inclusion of language and culture and never pass up an opportunity to bring that up. It is a question of where that work goes and how much it influences the...

Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth: Commission for Future Generations Bill 2023: Discussion (8 Oct 2024)

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: I will be brief because I will have a final word again next week and I do not want to repeat myself too much. What motivated me and drove me towards this approach is that there are larger problems we will face as a society and as a species that cannot be solved in a five-year time horizon. Dr. O’Mahony said to me a number of years ago that we might all disagree and be at each...

Question declared carried.

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (8 Oct 2024)

Gary Gannon: I find it very disheartening that the Fine Gael TD does not believe it is important or that peacekeepers deserve appropriate time-----

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (8 Oct 2024)

Alan Farrell: It has nothing to do with the issue; it has to do with the Deputy's timing. The Deputy had loads of time to deal with it.

Seán Ó Fearghaíl: Come on. We are not turning this into a free-for-all.

Gary Gannon: It is important and I would like to see a statement on the matter.

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (8 Oct 2024)

Richard Boyd Barrett: I am very happy to support the call for statements on child protection. They should take place this week. It is a serious issue. However, we have asked for some time for the Government to allow for a discussion and questions to the Minister on the use of Shannon by the US military and the use of Irish airspace for the transport of weapons from the US to Israel to kill children in Gaza and...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (8 Oct 2024)

Mattie McGrath: Of course we in the Rural Independents agree with the request for time to debate offences against children and the whole issue in this regard, but there are many issues that we want to discuss here that the Government will not discuss. The Chief Whip could have had an incorporeal meeting of the Business Committee before sabotaging our business here today. She did not even move the Order of...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (8 Oct 2024)

Thomas Pringle: I fully support the call for a debate on the situation in Lebanon and Gaza. That is vital. Also, we should ask the Government to withdraw the Planning and Development Bill. Six-hundred and twenty seven amendments have come back from the Seanad but it is proposed to have only three hours of debate tomorrow. It is ridiculous to allow such a big Bill to go through in that way. If the...
