- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Road Safety (9 Oct 2024)
Anne Rabbitte: I thank the Deputy. I take on board totally what he just said and I will relay it back. This is about safety and saving lives. Yet again, though, I must read another such reply. I must read everything I am given because I am deputising. Approximately €411 million of Exchequer capital funds was provided to TII for national roads in 2024. In line with the NDP and Government...

- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Early Childhood Care and Education (9 Oct 2024)
Violet-Anne Wynne: Lovely. Go raibh maith agat. I am incredibly grateful that the Minister of State, Deputy Rabbitte, is here to take this question. It is of great local and personal importance to my constituents and to me. I had hoped the Minister, Deputy O'Gorman, would take the question, but I was informed late yesterday evening that he was not in a position to do so. I will certainly not waste any time...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Trade Marks (Madrid Protocol) (Amendment) Regulations 2024: Discussion (9 Oct 2024)
Louise O'Reilly: I have one question but it may not be related to this. It concerns an issue we will be discussing at a later hearing of this committee, namely, the country of origin assignation, which is not specifically a trademark but is related. I just want to check that there is nothing in this that affects that. We are happy to support this and will not be objecting to it but I just want to check...

John Lahart: For the benefit of the public, it must be stated that if one is involved in public life or in dealing with contracts for a long time, it can be easy to form the view that the State is always the malign player if things go wrong with a contract. I am not suggesting that there are malign players in this instance, but I have been dealing with school building and road projects in my constituency...

John Lahart: If I am to interpret this correctly, a change was required, BAM costed this change and this cost is on record?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Children’s Hospital: Discussion (9 Oct 2024)
John Lahart: The cost ran to €25 million, or millions of euro anyway, and was going to delay the contract by months, which was the evidence given to us. To conclude matters in respect of that piece of the jigsaw, what did it cost?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Children’s Hospital: Discussion (9 Oct 2024)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Children’s Hospital: Discussion (9 Oct 2024)
