Financial Resolutions 2024 - Financial Resolution No. 5: General (Resumed) (2 Oct 2024)

Mick Barry: Yesterday, as Government TDs were basking in self-congratulation after the budget had been introduced, Pfizer went and spoiled the party somewhat by announcing plans to cut 210 jobs. These jobs are to be lost across the Pfizer sites at Ringaskiddy in County Cork, Grange Castle in west Dublin and Newbridge in County Kildare. In a statement the company said the job losses were being...

Denis Naughten: Yesterday, the Minister for Public Expenditure, National Development Plan Delivery and Reform said education was one component in ensuring a thriving population, as is feeling supported in times of ill-health. As many Members know, I have been consistently raising questions about the planned relocation of the children's hospital in Crumlin to the national children's hospital site, bizarrely...

Financial Resolutions 2024 - Financial Resolution No. 5: General (Resumed) (2 Oct 2024)

Richard Boyd Barrett: The Taoiseach and Tánaiste have lost all interest in the budget. I suspect the wider public have lost interest anyway because they realise through bitter experience it will not make much difference to the real issues that affect their lives. I will not go through an exhaustive list of what is not there or what we would have done instead. People can read our alternative budget...

Financial Resolutions 2024 - Financial Resolution No. 5: General (Resumed) (2 Oct 2024)

Holly Cairns: Since Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael went into government with each other, it has not been clear which party's ethos has been more influential. One thing was very clear yesterday, though. We saw the return of Bertienomics. Fianna Fáil's infamous economic policy approach is once again leading the way. What could go wrong? Bertie once famously said that the boom was getting boomier...

Financial Resolutions 2024 - Financial Resolution No. 5: General (Resumed) (2 Oct 2024)

Ivana Bacik: This country has resources that are the envy of our neighbours. I refer to the Apple billions, record surpluses and low unemployment. However, in the Ireland of 2024, even workers with good jobs and their own homes suffer from a lack of public infrastructure and a cost-of-living crisis. Those without homes are suffering most. They are at the sharp edge of our housing disaster. It is not...

Micheál Martin: There is a full allocation for that now. Come on. Give it a rest.

Financial Resolutions 2024 - Financial Resolution No. 5: General (Resumed) (2 Oct 2024)

Mary Lou McDonald: They will continue to pay big fees, continue to search for spaces that do not exist, and continue to be stressed today and worried about the future. Our plan would deliver the change they need, not just soundbites. It is a plan to make childcare affordable at €10 a day per child by next September, a plan to deliver early years educators and childcare professionals the pay increase...

Financial Resolutions 2024 - Financial Resolution No. 5: General (Resumed) (2 Oct 2024)

Mary Lou McDonald: We have heard the Government oscillate between self-congratulatory backslapping and defensive, self-righteous attack rhetoric, neither of which is grounded in any sense of reality. I notice the Taoiseach is not here to participate in this debate. That is a first in my recollection. Perhaps, after all the bragging and hot air, the Taoiseach cannot present himself to stand by and stand over...

Aindrias Moynihan: Go raibh maith agat, a Thánaiste. Leanfaimid ar aghaidh leis an Aire, an Teachta Roderic O'Gorman.

Financial Resolutions 2024 - Financial Resolution No. 5: General (Resumed) (2 Oct 2024)

Roderic O'Gorman: I begin by recognising the huge work done by the Ministers, Deputies Donohoe and Chambers, and their teams over the last months in delivering budget 2025, the fifth and final budget of this Government. The delivery of this final budget gives us a moment to reflect. When the Green Party contested the election in 2020, we did so proposing a manifesto entitled Towards 2030: A decade of change....

Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Tuarascáil Bhliantúil 2023 an Choimisinéara Teanga agus Ábhair Ghaolmhara: Plé (2 Oct 2024)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Tá ceist agam. Tá a fhios againn go n-oibríonn rudaí ar nós an fhoráil sa dlí ó thaobh comharthaíochta de. Tá sé níos infheidhmithe ar go leor cúiseanna; mar shampla, tá sé sofheicthe muna bhfuil an rud ann. I gcás na fógraíochta, táthar in ann é a chloisteáil agus sin é. Ba...

Éamon Ó Cuív: Is í an Roinn a ghlac leis na scéimeanna sin. Is é an smaoineamh a bhí ann ná nach nglacfadh sí leo. Is í an fhadhb a bhí ann ná nárbh é sin a bhí i gceist nuair a tugadh isteach na scéimeanna. Bhí sé i gceist go mbeadh oifigigh teanga, oifigigh thithíochta agus oifigigh eile sna ceantair in ann feidhmiú...

Éamon Ó Cuív: An aontaíonn an coimisinéir go bhfuil, ag deireadh an lae, cumhacht áirithe ag an Stát - b’fhéidir nach raibh aige 40 ó shin - rudaí casta a dhéanamh? Mar shampla, tá mé tar éis, le trí nó ceithre de bhlianta anuas, go leor ceisteanna a chur maidir leis an earnáil tríú-leibhéal. Deirtear go minic go...

Éamon Ó Cuív: Caithfidh mé a rá gur amhrasóir mé ina thaobh seo. Abraimis go bhfuil 2% den tseirbhís phoiblí atá in ann feidhmiú sa Ghaeilge. Bheadh éacht dochreidte bainte amach dá bhféadfaí é sin a mhéadú go 4% trí oiliúint a chur ar dhaoine atá sa tseirbhís phoiblí cheana féin. Dar liomsa, má...

Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Tuarascáil Bhliantúil 2023 an Choimisinéara Teanga agus Ábhair Ghaolmhara: Plé (2 Oct 2024)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Nuair a fhaigheann Oifig an Choimisnéara Teanga gearán agus glactar leis go bhfuil bunús leis an ngearán, agus ansin téann an coimisinéir go dtí an gcomhlacht poiblí atá i gceist, i gcé mhéad cás a n-adhmaíonn an chomhlacht go bhfuil an rud mícheart a tarlú agus cuireann siad ina ceart é gan troid mhór a chur...

Éamon Ó Cuív: Ceapaim go mbeidh freagra ag Órla de Búrca ar mo cheist dheireanach. An bhfuil laghdú nó méadú ar líon na gcomharthaí a ndéantar drochleagan Gaeilge a chur suas orthu? Tá mé ag smaoineamh ar chomharthaí a dhéantar aistriú díreach orthu, nó seafóid nó ráiméis éigin eile orthu, mar shampla...

Éamon Ó Cuív: Glacaim leis go bhfuil go leor comhlachtaí poiblí nach bhfuil acmhainn aistriúcháin dá gcuid féin acu. An gcuideodh sé dá dtiocfaimid ar ais ag rud ar bhí bunaithe agus a cuireadh ar ceal? Bhí sé i gceist go mbeadh oifig aistriúchán poiblí ann a dhéanadh aistriúchán don earnáil phoiblí ar fad....
