Peadar Tóibín: This is the issue of Government waste, which is a massive topic, I understand. Those ventilators are still being stored. What is going to happen to those ventilators that cost €100,000, that do not work and that are still being stored? Will the Government use them somewhere as a national monument to Government waste, to be able to celebrate what the Government has done?

Simon Harris: Just let me answer the question, will you? Thank you. The reality of the situation is that so much effort was made by so many good people working in the Department of Health to save lives. That is what they did, and I am proud of them. They did not waste during Covid. They worked really hard during Covid, around the clock, while people like you just threw barbed comments from the sidelines.

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (23 Oct 2024)

Peadar Tóibín: The Kyran Durnin case has shocked the country to the core. This is a tragic and dark case that asks serious questions of the State. How can a vulnerable child go missing for two years? How can a vulnerable child just disappear for two years? How broken is the State care system that we are not talking about an intervention here but we are talking about the potential murder of a child. The...

Simon Harris: I do not think there is a person on any side of this House, or in Ireland, who is not both utterly horrified and heartbroken at what is emerging in relation to the case of young Kyran Durnin. This is nothing to do with political establishment or any sort of rhetoric. This is just to do with basic humanity. An eight-year-old boy effectively went missing for two years and the saddest and...
