Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Ukraine War (10 Oct 2024)

Seán Fleming: I thank the Deputy for raising this issue. Ireland remains steadfast in our support for the people and Government of Ukraine. The conflict, since the illegal Russian invasion in February 2022, continues to drive the numbers of people in need of urgent humanitarian assistance. As Ukraine faces into another harsh winter, Ireland's humanitarian funding will continue to target the most...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Ukraine War (10 Oct 2024)

Pádraig O'Sullivan: I thank the Minister of State. I acknowledge the announcement last month of that €36 million. It is very welcome. Perhaps the Minister of State will give the House an estimate on the overall contribution the State has made on that fund since its inception in 2022. One of the most reprehensible acts that has been done in the Ukraine-Russia conflict is the forced deportation of...

Committee on Drugs Use: A Health-Led Approach: Discussion (Resumed) (10 Oct 2024)

David Stanton: I apologise that I will have to leave in a few minutes. There is another meeting on next door dealing with Traveller issues. There are overlaps here as well. People in the Traveller community are also affected by drug use. Professor Michael O'Flaherty, the Commissioner for Human Rights of the Council of Europe, is before that committee this morning but I hope to get back. A number of...

Committee on Drugs Use: A Health-Led Approach: Discussion (Resumed) (10 Oct 2024)

David Stanton: Okay. It seems to mirror the same kind of approach whereby a person is looked on as an individual. They approach the judge and are given an opportunity to engage in restorative justice or in community service. However, the crucial parts are the psychological and social supports and so forth that are in place behind them as well. Does Ms Brennan think there are enough such supports here?...

Committee on Drugs Use: A Health-Led Approach: Discussion (Resumed) (10 Oct 2024)

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Land Development Agency (10 Oct 2024)

Brian Stanley: The witnesses are all very welcome. I remind everyone in attendance to ensure their mobile phones are switched off or in silent mode. To start, I wish to explain some limitations to parliamentary privilege and the practices of the Houses as regard references witnesses may make to other persons in their evidence. The evidence of witnesses physically present or who give evidence from...

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Land Development Agency (10 Oct 2024)

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Land Development Agency (10 Oct 2024)

Brian Stanley: I am conscious of people looking in here. There is a lot of back and forth. The Deputy has been trying to tease out the sources of funding and then what is and is not on the State balance sheet. In his opening statement, Mr. Coleman said, "We have already received funding commitments of €2.5 billion.", from Government and half of that is from ISIF. Is that correct?
