Thomas Pringle: In recent hours, the online news publication, The Ditch, has revealed further controversy surrounding the Government's failing defective blocks scheme. It has emerged that in more than 20 cases, a Donegal County Council-operated portal had altered the recommendations of the homeowners' engineers. What I find interesting, or perhaps more appropriately described as disturbing, is that in each...

Simon Harris: We often have an argy-bargy in this House, but on this issue, there is a broad consensus that we need to do more to support our carers. I acknowledge that, and it is why I have outlined a number of the steps the Minister, Deputy Humphreys, has taken and that I am proud of those steps because I know they have made a real difference because I have met the people who are benefiting from them....

Cian O'Callaghan: Instead of investing in long-term sustainable supports in the budget, the Government splashed cash on temporary measures. Today we learned the dates that those ten payments will be made. Most of them will be made before 22 November and the remainder will be made by early December. The Government parties are cock-a-hoop with that schedule because it is right around when most of us expect to...

Does he want me to stop the double child benefit payment in the...

Mary Lou McDonald: I visited Crumlin yesterday, as it happens, and spoke to a number of families who have children and young people with autism. We spoke about lots of things such as school places and so on. The one issue that came up with them and that I hear again and again - it is not recent; it is a long-standing issue - is the means test for the carer's allowance. I spoke to one woman yesterday who...

Mary Lou McDonald: Carers do extraordinary work all across Ireland. They show incredible dedication to vulnerable loved ones they care for: parents who care for children and young adults with complex needs, those who look after their elderly parents and those who care for family members with disabilities. Caring is work done with love, but it is work. It is 24-7 every day and every night non-stop. Carers do...

Simon Harris: I thank the Deputy for raising this important matter. I begin by recognising, as she did, the very important role carers play in society. We all know it from our families and communities and there are widespread views across the House and society about the need to continue to do all we can to support our carers. I note the likes of Family Carers Ireland, a representative group for family...
