- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Local Drug and Alcohol Task Forces: Discussion (6 Nov 2024)
Seán Crowe: We talked earlier about the challenges that exist. People are saying they have never seen things as bad in communities. We need an injection of hope and reality. The idea we will have another report will probably garner a collective groan from many of us, but that is part of what needs to be done in this regard.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Local Drug and Alcohol Task Forces: Discussion (6 Nov 2024)
Seán Crowe: Yes. There is a huge amount of work there, and we send our commendations to all those task forces that are operating, under difficult circumstances in a lot of cases. If I had the time, we would go into a lot more. I thank the Minister of State and his officials for meeting this morning with the committee on the issue of the local drug and alcohol task forces. This is probably the last...

- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: School Accommodation (6 Nov 2024)
Mattie McGrath: I am extremely disappointed to hear the Minister of State read out another waffle from the Department. The Department is currently assessing the options. Just imagine that. I have a document here from December 2022, when the Department promised 12 modular classrooms to deal with the accommodation. In February 2023 the Department of Education changed it and listed five modular classrooms,...
- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: School Accommodation (6 Nov 2024)
James Browne: I thank the Deputies for raising this issue and giving me an opportunity to outline the position of the school. The Department of Education continues to provide very significant funding in support of the education of children with special educational needs, which is a priority for this Government, with over a quarter of the entire education budget dedicated to special education in recent...

- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla (Atógáil) - Topical Issue Debate (Resumed): Schools Building Projects (6 Nov 2024)
Darren O'Rourke: I thank the Minister of State for being here. I accept that the senior Minister is not here. I did say that we really want to get behind what we have here in responses to written questions. We have detail but what the parents and local school community want are clear indications particularly on timelines. I had indicated that in my response to the Minister. I hope this can be a fruitful...

James Browne: I thank Deputy Darren O'Rourke for raising the issue of plans and timeline for delivery of a new school building for Dunshaughlin Community National School, Dunshaughlin, County Meath. The school building project for Dunshaughlin Community National School is part of the Department’s construction programme and will be delivered as part of a campus project that will provide a new...
- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla (Atógáil) - Topical Issue Debate (Resumed): Schools Building Projects (6 Nov 2024)
Darren O'Rourke: There is nothing new in that at all. I finished my last contribution with the children's letter about the temporary accommodation and the delay with that. There is concern with all of the delay in this project. The bigger problem is that the current situation is not suitable accommodation at all. That is why we need a new school building. I will point to the lack of an indoor hall,...
