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...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (9 Jul 2024)

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)

Paul Murphy: I thank the witnesses for their work on this. It is a no-brainer from the point of view of workers, communities and our environment. Do any of the witnesses have figures for the profits of the waste management companies?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Circular Economy as it relates to the Waste Sector: Discussion. (9 Jul 2024)

Paul Murphy: I think most of them are unlimited companies that do not file with the Companies Office so they do not publish their profits, if I am not mistaken. Will any of the witnesses address that?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Circular Economy as it relates to the Waste Sector: Discussion. (9 Jul 2024)

Paul Murphy: That is precisely the point. There is a problem in having a public discussion here when we do not know the figure. They trot out that because people are doing as they are asked to do, which is to bring their bottles and cans back to the shops for the deposit return scheme, they need to increase the price of the green bin to compensate for that. There is no public evidence to suggest that...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Circular Economy as it relates to the Waste Sector: Discussion. (9 Jul 2024)

Paul Murphy: This relates to what Mr. Kane is saying. He mentioned bin workers' cite health and safety concerns that have been raised in survey after survey. What sort of concerns do they have? Presumably this is something that has changed since the move to private ownership.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Circular Economy as it relates to the Waste Sector: Discussion. (9 Jul 2024)

Paul Murphy: There is one area where we might diverge a little, or perhaps it is just a question of timing. Councillor Doolan said that we do not want to turn the clock back and, obviously, we do not want to turn the clock back in terms of having just one black bin and there need to be multiple bins. Why not turn the clock back in terms of bringing this fully under the control of council-run services as...

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,...

Jackie Cahill: I sincerely thank the Minister for taking on board the request from the Oireachtas joint committee, which I am privileged to chair. I really appreciate him doing so. Our report is entitled Environmental Impact of Local Industrial Emissions in Castlecomer, Co. Kilkenny, and I welcome the fact that we will have a review of what happened there. 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...
