Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (3 Jul 2024)

Simon Harris: I propose to take Questions Nos. 14 to 20, inclusive, together. The Cabinet committee on the economy and investment was re-established by the Government on 10 April and most recently met on Monday, 1 July. The next meeting of that Cabinet committee has not yet been scheduled. Membership of the committee comprises me, the Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs and for Defence,...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (3 Jul 2024)

Mick Barry: I received the Taoiseach’s correspondence.

Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (3 Jul 2024)

Simon Harris: About water?

Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (3 Jul 2024)

Mick Barry: Yes, with a reply attached from the chief executive officer of Uisce Éireann on the issue of discoloured water in Cork city, so I thank the Taoiseach for that. However, the correspondence does not include what the Taoiseach promised to get for me, that being, a timescale for the resolution of the problem. The correspondence names mid-November as a target date for the completion of a...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (3 Jul 2024)

Ruairi Ó Murchú: I received a letter from BD, or Becton, Dickinson and Company, which is a global medtech company with an operation in Drogheda. I believe this issue was raised with the Taoiseach earlier. Deputy Munster and I were contacted and I spoke to Councillor Joanna Byrne about the matter. There is a great deal of shock and fear in Drogheda and other parts of County Louth. BD plans to cease and...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (3 Jul 2024)

Richard Boyd Barrett: The issue of housing is not only responsible for untold hardship, anxiety and suffering for large numbers of people who are at the wrong end of the housing crisis, but it is also probably the greatest economic problem we now face, and increasingly so. We cannot recruit teachers because they cannot afford to live in places like Dublin. We cannot recruit enough health workers because they...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (3 Jul 2024)

Paul Murphy: I wish to raise the issue of investment in our sewerage infrastructure. I have raised this issue previously, but I encountered two new cases of it while campaigning in the local elections, one in Alderwood Grove and the other in Glenview Park, both of which are in Tallaght. I presume there are hundreds of such cases across the country whereby people have raw sewage coming out through...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (3 Jul 2024)

Brendan Smith: I welcome the Taoiseach's engagement with President Biden and the US Administration. An issue that has concerned me for a considerable number of years is the plight of the undocumented Irish in the US. They face particular difficulties. I am aware that both the Tánaiste and the former Taoiseach, Deputy Varadkar, raised this issue during their meetings in Washington in March. I hope...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (3 Jul 2024)

Paul Murphy: I do not know whether the Taoiseach watched the US presidential debate last week. It was a spectacle that in many ways is like a microcosm of the death agony or decline of US imperialism. On the one hand, there was a man who is a congenital liar who basically could not open his mouth without telling a lie, a sexual abuser and an authoritarian, hard-right politician who encouraged an...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (3 Jul 2024)

Ruairi Ó Murchú: Regarding US support in the early stages of and throughout the entire period of the peace process from the Good Friday Agreement right through to Brexit and the issues that it caused, including the fear of a hard border in Ireland, it would be fair to say the US was on the right side. Joe Biden and the Democratic Party have a huge issue in their campaign against Trump at this point, but we...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (3 Jul 2024)

Richard Boyd Barrett: Since Israel's genocidal massacre commenced in Gaza, hundreds of millions of people across the world have taken to the streets in solidarity with Palestinians, including in the US, where Jewish people have said Israel's crimes are not committed in their name and that Biden's arming and supporting of Israel does not represent them. Considering the depressing spectacle of Trump versus Biden...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (3 Jul 2024)

Simon Harris: I thank my colleagues, who raised a range of issues. On Deputy Haughey's comments on Northern Ireland, the role played by special envoy Joe Kennedy is very helpful. That President Biden appointed him as envoy to Northern Ireland but also as economic envoy to Northern Ireland is significant in and of itself for the reasons the Deputy outlined. We can be proud of the peace process on this...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (3 Jul 2024)

Simon Harris: I am pleased that Deputy Smith, the Cathaoirleach Gníómhach and others met the delegation from the Ukrainian Parliament yesterday. I had the opportunity to meet President Zelenskyy in Brussels last week and, two weeks previously, at the peace summit for Ukraine in Switzerland. I have also had the opportunity to speak to him by telephone twice since becoming Taoiseach. In...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (3 Jul 2024)
