- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (4 Jul 2024)
Holly Cairns: Everyone in this House agrees that sexual and gender-based violence is an epidemic. No part of society or sector is immune. We all know that tackling it and eradicating it is not easy. Sometimes, however, it seems like the State is not even trying. Let us take, for instance, what is happening in the Defence Forces. We know that 68 members of the Defence Forces either have been convicted...

Micheál Martin: I thank the Deputy for raising this issue. The Government published in 2022 a five-year zero-tolerance strategy and has established Cuan, the agency which we agreed with all involved in the sector would deliver on this ambition. It has an overall budget of €59 million for 2024. I pay tribute again to Natasha O'Brien and Bláthnaid Raleigh and others who have come forward to tell...

Pearse Doherty: Tá seacht mbliana ann ó thug an Taoiseach nuair a bhí sé ina Aire Sláinte gealltanas nach mbeadh aon pháiste ag fanacht níos faide ná ceithre mhí le haghaidh máinliacht scolóise a d’athródh an saol a bhí acu. Briseadh an gealltanas sin arís agus arís. Tá a fhios againn anois nach bhfuil an t-airgead a...

Micheál Martin: Ar dtús báire, caithfidh mé a rá go bhfuil an Rialtas sásta agus den tuairim go gcaithfimid gach aon iarrachta a dhéanamh chun liostaí feithimh na leanaí atá ag feitheamh ar obráidí scolóise a ísliú chomh tapa agus is féidir linn. Is é seo aidhm an Rialtais agus aidhm gach éinne sa Teach seo. Tá an...

Pearse Doherty: I am not sure whether the Tánaiste has just listed out the incompetences in terms of the Minister for Health. Let us boil this down to what happened. The Minister was told by CHI that if he gave it €19 million, it would reduce the waiting list so that nobody would wait more than four months. The Minister gave CHI the money. Within weeks, the parents and the advocates were...

- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Tax Code (4 Jul 2024)
David Stanton: This question has to do with the tax measures that might be considered to support the hospitality sector. Yesterday, representatives of the hospitality sector were in Leinster House and were lobbying Members of the Houses with respect to supports, were telling us that the sector was under pressure and that many of its members are on the verge of running out of liquidity. Is the Minister is...
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Tax Code (4 Jul 2024)
Jack Chambers: I propose to take Questions Nos. 108 and 111 together. As the Deputy will be aware, the 9% VAT rate was applied on a temporary basis to the hospitality and tourism sectors until 31 August 2023 when it reverted to the 13.5% rate. The 9% rate was introduced on 1 November 2020 in recognition of the fact that the tourism and hospitality sectors were among those most impacted by the public...
