Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (22 Oct 2024)

Mary Lou McDonald: I would first like to address information which I placed on the Dáil record last week relating to an incident where a Sinn Féin representative sent inappropriate text messages to a young person. It was then my understanding that the young person was 17 years of age because of the information provided on his application form when he applied to join Ógra Shinn Féin. That...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (22 Oct 2024)

Mary Lou McDonald: Our student nurses and midwives are incredible. They do invaluable nursing work while on placement on wards and, in fact, they keep our hospitals going.

However, the new subsistence allowance for first-to-third-year student nurses does not go...

Alan Kelly: How can we go to the public on this matter? For once, I am not blaming the OPW. The fact that the OPW was doing this was wrong. I have gone through all of the replies to my parliamentary questions - I submitted a pile of them on this - and the timelines put out in October 2022 involved a lead-in time of ten weeks for the first phase of 250 units. That is what it said. Did that happen?

Alan Kelly: Of course it did not happen. I know it did not happen. I am just confirming it. I asked the Department of children, which had responsibility in this regard. I then asked the Department of public expenditure the same thing at the end of October. It stated that the initial 250 would be installed during January and February 2023. Did that happen?
