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.

Mattie McGrath: The former Minister, Michael McGrath, now Commissioner-designate, was asked in the House in 2019 in relation to Mr. John Fraher in Clonmel. His tax number was used when he was not trading in this country. This deals with NAMA. We all know about Project Eagle. This is project préachán, where lands in Clonmel were disposed of under section 183 by Tipperary County Council, which...

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...

Peadar Tóibín: Many of these deaths are as a result of a failure of State care. I will give him other examples. The Government is using special emergency arrangements at the moment to accommodate children. These are often unregulated, rented accommodations provided by third-parties with questionable vetting standards. Children are going missing every month and these children are being exposed to sexual...

Simon Harris: The Deputy is asking me a question as the Taoiseach. I will respond to it, if that is alright. First, the Minister, Deputy O'Gorman, is a good person who works hard and does a good job. I do not like the aspersion cast on him in the constant framing of the Deputy's questions quite frankly. Of course, I am going to use the time available to me, when the Deputy raised the case of Kyran...

Richard Boyd Barrett: I believe the Government is deceiving the public about what is actually happening in the health service. While it claims it is trying to recruit people to the health service to fill the staff shortages to address the ever-growing waiting lists, which have now reached nearly 1 million people in various hospitals, or the 10,000 children waiting for assessments of need, the 110,000 children...

Richard Boyd Barrett: It absolutely is. I was talking to radiation therapists who will be in here later today. They say that despite capital investment in, for example, linear accelerators and scanners in Cork, Galway and St. Luke's, the machines are sitting idle because they do not have enough staff, and that if people leave, there is no guarantee at all that they will be replaced and there is no effort to...
