Business of Dáil (6 Apr 2016)

Séamus Healy: I propose an amendment, namely, that the Dáil sits tomorrow to deal with the very serious issue of health, particularly hospitals, as well as housing and homelessness.

Business of Dáil (6 Apr 2016)

Séamus Healy: It is vital that this Dáil be able to hold the Government and its various Ministers to account. I want to address the suggestion that we adjourn until 14 April. It is absolutely urgent that the Dáil should reconvene tomorrow and again on Tuesday next because, as we speak, there is a crisis at South Tipperary General Hospital and at many other hospitals. Figures issued today show...

Business of Dáil (6 Apr 2016)

Business of Dáil (6 Apr 2016)

Séamus Healy: Surely this Dáil and the relevant Minister must address situations of this nature. We can hardly go home again today and not return for another ten days.

Housing and Homelessness: Statements (22 Mar 2016)

Séamus Healy: The previous Government, knowingly and deliberately, created and caused homelessness. I say this because the State owns Allied Irish Banks, permanent tsb and the Educational Building Society. The Minister and current caretaker Administration are allowing these financial institutions to evict people from their homes. They can stop such evictions by telling the banks to stop causing...

European Council Meeting: Statements (22 Mar 2016)

Séamus Healy: Today at South Tipperary General Hospital, there are 44 patients on chairs, trolleys and corridor beds awaiting admission. I am told this is the highest number on trolleys in the hospital in the whole country. What has this to do with the debate we are having here today? It has, of course, everything to do with it. The hospital is starved of resources. Approximately 25% of its budget, or...

Standing Order 112 Select Committee: Motion (10 Mar 2016)

Séamus Healy: The point I was making was that, while I welcome that particular proposal for the committee, it is ironic that we should start the first meeting of the 32nd Dáil by excluding Independent Deputies. That is not acceptable and will have to be changed.

Standing Order 112 Select Committee: Motion (10 Mar 2016)

Séamus Healy: Earlier I said this Dáil must see fundamental departures from the policies in the previous two Dáileanna. The Tánaiste mentioned how easy and cheap it was to borrow. I wonder what that means to the 1,600 children in emergency hotel accommodation tonight. What does it mean to the 82 constituents of mine who were on hospital trolleys yesterday and the 511 patients on hospital...

Nomination of Taoiseach (10 Mar 2016)

Séamus Healy: First, I congratulate you, a Cheann Comhairle, on your appointment and wish you well in your role as Ceann Comhairle of the Thirty-Second Dáil. On the various nominations, this new Dáil must see a fundamental departure from the failed policies of the past two Dáileanna. The past two Governments had the choice to protect the most vulnerable in society but instead both of...

Séamus Healy: 420. To ask the Minister for Education and Skills the status of a request for an extension by a school (details supplied) in County Tipperary; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [2830/16]

Confidence in Tánaiste and Minister for Social Protection: Motion [Private Members] (19 Jan 2016)

Séamus Healy: I rise in support of this Private Members' motion of no confidence in the Tánaiste. We were promised a democratic revolution after the last general election. Of course, this is certainly not the case as we have seen time and again since then. In the past week, we have seen that cronyism is alive and well and at the heart of Government and that a "get out" clause is being used not just...
