- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: School Funding (18 Sep 2024)
Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: October or January?
- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: School Funding (18 Sep 2024)
Anne Rabbitte: It will be announced in October, but I can bring that forward. My understanding from meeting the principal and the delegates who came before me was that they have something ready to roll and are able to access private capacity-----
- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Defective Building Materials (18 Sep 2024)
Roderic O'Gorman: The Department works with Pobal and local childcare committees to offer case management supports to services in difficulty. Through this process, services may also access sustainability funding following an assessment of need. One strand of this funding can support a service with the cost of relocation. Pobal and Donegal County Childcare Committee are in communication with Ardara Community...
- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Defective Building Materials (18 Sep 2024)
Pearse Doherty: We have not seen the Minister's capital funding or its criteria, but he described it as critical fire safety works and other emergency capital projects, both internal and external. Does the Minister understand what is happening with these buildings? These buildings are going to be demolished. Big JCBs are going to come in and tear them to the grand. They have to; the blocks are rotten and...

Catherine Connolly: Thank you, Deputy.
- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Defective Building Materials (18 Sep 2024)
Pearse Doherty: It is a very clear question. This has gone on for ages. People from Letterkenny said five years ago that their building was falling down. People from Raphoe are already out of theirs and people in Ardara have a clock of about six months. There are many others.

Pearse Doherty: I will finish now. Will there be a funding scheme that will provide 100% funding to rebuild the entire premises when they are condemned and have to be knocked to the ground?
- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Defective Building Materials (18 Sep 2024)
Roderic O'Gorman: Until this year, the sole capital funding coming from my Department for early years services was for the building of new services or extensions to existing services. My Department and I, as Minister, have recognised that when a service requires major work - I am not talking about fire safety doors - there is a need for a fund to support community services. The situation outlined by Deputy...

Mick Barry: How soon?
- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Defective Building Materials (18 Sep 2024)
Roderic O'Gorman: My understanding in the case of north Cork is that there is engagement between Pobal and the childcare committee on a resolution. In terms of the services Deputy Doherty raised, I will inquire with my Department on the engagement with the childcare committee. It is important to recognise the need to have flexibility and that has been recognised in the terms of the use of our capital...

School Funding
- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: School Funding (18 Sep 2024)
Catherine Connolly: Táimid ag bogadh ar aghaidh anois go dtí an dara Saincheist Thráthúil. Deputies Mick Barry, Pádraig O'Sullivan agus Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire wish to discuss the lack of therapists at St. Killian's special school in Mayfield, Cork city. They have one minute and 20 seconds each.
- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: School Funding (18 Sep 2024)
Mick Barry: St. Killian's special school in Mayfield, County Cork, is the largest special school in all of Munster. No therapists have been in this school since 2019. Last November, the Minister of State, Deputy Rabbitte, met a delegation from the school which included the principal. At that meeting, the Minister of State promised to make €150,000 available to the school to hire therapists....

Pádraig O'Sullivan: I thank the Minister of State for taking this Topical Issue. I know this is an issue she has worked on in recent years. I know it is something she wants to bring to a resolution. I also acknowledge that without her intervention, I do not think we would even have the pilot scheme that is in place. That needs to be put on the record. As outlined by Deputy Barry, St. Killian's is a very...
- Childcare: Motion [Private Members] (18 Sep 2024)
Claire Kerrane: I was disappointed to see a good chunk of the Minister's amendment criticising the plan I launched last week. He does not have to like the plan, of course. I am not interested in that kind of politicking. I do not do it. I do not believe that the parents are interested in it either. The Minister sees our plan as having no vision. Our plan has a vision and is the actual way to get to...
