- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (9 Jul 2024)
Simon Harris: I do not need a chorus. There are many other examples of affordable housing schemes throughout the country. This is not just a meeting of Dublin City Council. In Waterford, for example, we are working to deliver affordable homes with a private developer for prices as low as €225,000. Of course it is more expensive to build an affordable home or a home in parts of Dublin than in...

Mary Lou McDonald: Faoi cheannasaíocht Fhine Gael agus Fianna Fáil, tá deireadh tagtha le tithíocht inacmhainne. Léiríonn an phraiseach ar Bhóthar Oscair Mhic Thréinir nach bhfuil scéim tithíochta inacmhainne an Rialtais ag obair. Is í an eagla anois nach mbeidh na cíosanna san fhorbraíocht ar phraghas réasúnta do ghnáthdhaoine...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Circular Economy as it relates to the Waste Sector: Discussion. (9 Jul 2024)
Joan Collins: Should a campaign be run on this issue? To give a simple example, we held two public meetings in Ballyfermot and Crumlin. We went out with a sheet to ask people to sign a petition on the re-municipalisation of waste. There is huge support for that among communities in Ballyfermot and Crumlin based on the huge cost increases by private waste collection companies over the past number of years.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Circular Economy as it relates to the Waste Sector: Discussion. (9 Jul 2024)
Joan Collins: I was elected to Dublin City Council as a councillor in 2004, as part of the anti-bin charges campaign. At the time I remember that the polluter pays aspect was a strong argument made to bring in charges and change the waste collection services. To me, the polluter pays principle means that the polluter pays, and not when you recycle green bins, brown bins, or you bring your stuff to the...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Circular Economy as it relates to the Waste Sector: Discussion. (9 Jul 2024)
Joan Collins: This is a very healthy discussion, teasing out the issues here. The IPA report highlighted the issue of illegal dumping in particular. We do not have details on what it actually costs to collect that waste. That cost, or the cost across different cities, is not included in any of the reports we have. I reckon it is quite substantive. It is local authorities that collect that waste, not...
- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Mental Health Services (9 Jul 2024)
Emer Higgins: I am taking this Topical Issue on behalf of the Minister for Health. I thank the Deputy for his support for this Government initiative. The development of a CAST, a multiagency initiative proposed for Limerick city, was a recommendation of the final report of the high-level task force, HLTF, on mental health and addiction challenges of those who come into contact with the criminal justice...
- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Mental Health Services (9 Jul 2024)
Maurice Quinlivan: I thank the Minister of State. I appreciate her response, but it seems that we do not have a cast-iron guarantee about when the unit will launch. She will excuse me for having concerns about the date of quarter 4 of 2024, because we have been told different dates on numerous occasions, but we will wait. I do understand that progress has been made. For the first time, there are definite...
- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Mental Health Services (9 Jul 2024)
Emer Higgins: The Deputy referenced 2022 in his opening contribution and the report of the high-level task force was published in 2022. Progress is happening. Posts have been approved. Additional progress happened just yesterday. That underscores this Government's commitment to make this pilot happen. I have given him the target date of the fourth quarter of 2024. From a HSE mid-west perspective,...

I will not go back over what I said earlier in...

- Report of the Joint Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Motion (4 Jul 2024)
Malcolm Noonan: I welcome Dan Brennan, Francie Gorman, Denis Drennan and representatives of the farm organisations to the House. I am sure Dan's family are watching at home as well. This is an important day for Dan and his family. I know Dan. He is a responsible and good farmer. I visited his farm with former Deputies Mary White and John Gormley during the depths of that crisis and saw at first hand...
