Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (24 Sep 2024)

Paschal Donohoe: I meet the same people as Deputy Fitzpatrick does. They do such great work keeping family members out of nursing homes and hospitals, keeping them at home and giving them love and support. I also see the cost and impact it has on them as they provide that support. It is because of that we have made the changes I outlined to the Deputy, which he has been gracious enough to recognise in his...

Peter Fitzpatrick: It is time for us to recognise the profound impact the carer’s means test has on the lives of carers and those for whom they care, and to advocate for its abolition. The means test undermines the principle of fairness and social justice that should underpin our welfare system. This test assesses not just the needs of the person being cared for but also the income and assets of carers...

Paschal Donohoe: I thank the Deputy for raising this important matter. We all know that those who provide care to loved ones within the community make an invaluable contribution in supporting those who need help. By doing that, they complement the work of the State and alleviate pressure on our hospitals and nursing homes. Without the work of our carers, the pressures they face would be even bigger. In...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (24 Sep 2024)

Paul Murphy: The Minister cannot with any sincerity on the one hand condemn the loss of life, saying we are doing everything we can to push for a ceasefire, and then turn a blind eye to weapons travelling through Irish airspace against the law to be used by Israel to commit these war crimes. He cannot in all sincerity claim to be doing everything he is doing to secure a ceasefire while refusing to...

Paul Murphy: Can the Minister give me a guarantee now that we are not going to find out about any further flights? Is it just the nine flights, or has the Government very consciously adopted a hear-no-evil, see-no-evil approach? It says the right things and tries to pander to public opinion on this-----

Paschal Donohoe: Even in matters of such importance, the Deputy cannot park his normal tactics of allegation and division. The Government has made clear again and again its condemnation of what is happening. It is this Government, with the support of the Oireachtas, that brought forward our recognition of the State of Palestine. It is the same Government that took action to protect UNGA to ensure the...

Paul Murphy: For almost a year, Israel has been waging a genocidal war against Palestinians. More than 40,000 people in Gaza have been murdered. Israeli attacks on Lebanon have not just started in recent days, but rather they have been escalating over the last year. Over the last year, there have been approximately 10,000 attacks on Lebanon, resulting in the deaths of more than 1,000 people. Israel...

Paschal Donohoe: I thank Deputy Murphy for raising what is such a deeply important issue for all of us, for the Middle East and for the world. The Taoiseach, the Tánaiste and the Government have been at the forefront in responding to and representing the views of the Irish people on the conflict in the Middle East and what this means for the people of Gaza and Lebanon. The Taoiseach and...

Paschal Donohoe: In the Deputy's question to me, she made reference to all the other projects that are under way across our country, whether it be homes or the delivery of public transport. In many cases, the delivery of capital projects by this Government happens in the way the public wants and happens on time. Despite the surge in inflation we have seen in recent years, many of these projects do happen in...

Paschal Donohoe: -----from the delivery of the children's hospital. Deputy Bacik asks what steps the Government is taking to ensure this hospital is delivered. As she rightly says, the most important thing now is how we learn from what has happened, how we get the hospital open and how we get it providing care to sick young children. What steps are we taking in this regard? Two main steps are being...

Ivana Bacik: Clearly, children need this hospital built. We all need and want to see it built. We want to see it open and delivering the necessary services. It is just not good enough, however, for Deputy Donohoe, as Minister for public expenditure, or for the health Minister to simply say what the board is doing and not to reassure people what the Government is doing to ensure an outcome here. I...
