Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Special Educational Needs (9 Oct 2024)

Ruairi Ó Murchú: It seems that those numbers have dropped off from an earlier parliamentary question I asked. We are now talking about 98, which is the figure the group I met were spoken to about, whereas there was a plan for 101. Three classes have now dropped off. I would like to think everything will be done to make sure that is delivered because we are dealing with a lack of provision. I think the...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Road Safety (9 Oct 2024)

David Stanton: I thank the Ceann Comhairle's office for selecting this Topical Issue and thank the Minister of State for being here this morning.

Both of us are Government TDs from the same constituency and raise the same issue. I do not know if anybody...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Road Projects (9 Oct 2024)

Anne Rabbitte: Over the past 25 years, the Government of Ireland has invested heavily in our national roads network, with an extensive motorway system now in place. The motorway network has seen almost tenfold expansion since 2000. Due to the outlined funding constraints for national roads, a prioritisation exercise was necessary from the outset. In line with the NDP and Government policy, the Minister...
