Stephen Donnelly: I can assure the House-----
- Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (4 Jul 2024)
Seán Ó Fearghaíl: The Minister has made the point. Will Deputies please stop disrupting the House? Could people learn to read the clock? Members have adopted a regulation here that there is a minute for every question. Everybody disregards it. They disregard the Chair. They do not respond when they are called on. They engage in most unruly and unacceptable behaviour, I have to say. You would want the...

Peter Fitzpatrick: It is no secret that there is a shortage of general practitioner services in many parts of Ireland and my constituency of Louth and east Meath is no different. Not a week goes by without constituents coming into my constituency office begging for medical access. The Louth GP shortage has left patients in Drogheda facing a two-year wait to register with a local doctor. Just this week, I...

Stephen Donnelly: I do not want to incur the wrath of Job again so I will keep it to 60 seconds. We are aware that in some parts of the country, we do not have enough GPs. In response, over the last number of years, we have tripled the number of training places. Now, for every GP who is leaving practice and retiring, two new GPs are coming in. We have augmented that with international GPs using an...

Mattie McGrath: Dundrum House Hotel in Tipperary is a famed hotel and business run by the late Austin Crowe and his wonderful family for decades. The Minister has taken it over and it has been a reception centre for Ukrainians who have been integrated and well accepted in the area. It is now being made into an IPAS centre without any questions about it and with inadequate infrastructure and there are...

Seán Ó Fearghaíl: We should not cast aspersions on someone outside the house.
- Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (4 Jul 2024)
Roderic O'Gorman: The Deputy is right that, for two years, the hotel in question has served as accommodation for Ukrainian families. They have been supported and integrated into the community. Our need for Ukrainian accommodation is less now and our need for accommodation for international protection applicants is higher. In light of that, we made a decision, in agreement with the provider there, that this...

Roderic O'Gorman: We have provided information about the change of use in this particular case. I am happy to speak to the Deputy further about this. Families from Ukraine are leaving and families from other countries and difficult parts of the world are arriving. I hope we can extend the same degree of welcome.

Thomas Pringle: Once again, the Government has stumbled blindly into yet another defective blocks fiasco of its own making. I know this will probably annoy and set off the Tánaiste, since he is convinced that the whole thing is sorted, but I am here to remind him again this week that it is not. Three weeks ago today, the Minister, Deputy Ryan, announced that SEAI grants would be available in a...

A report on the first six months of the operation of the scheme was recently prepared for the Minister and it concluded that the scheme was operating satisfactorily. Minor suggestions for improvements were made and are in the process of being implemented. I will ask...

Robert Troy: I am raising the case again of a four-year-old constituent of mine, Clodagh Walsh, who suffers from a rare, life-limiting and devastating degenerative neurological condition called Dravet syndrome. In six months in 2023, she was attended to five times and airlifted twice. Since she started on a drug called fenfluramine, she has had no seizures and it has been life-changing for this young...
