- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (15 Oct 2024)
Simon Harris: She has been very clear and been able to speak to me directly, and I have appreciated those engagements, blunt and frank as they have been. She is an incredible young woman. What I would say directly to Jaden's mum Ciara - I would be very happy to engage with Deputy McDonald further on this - is that we have a pathway now to make significant progress on assessments of needs. It is not just...

Ivana Bacik: I raise the ongoing brutal bombardment by Israel of Gaza and Lebanon, and I want to ask the Taoiseach about the occupied territories Bill. Over the last few days, I think we have all watched with great distress as Israel's actions have escalated still further to an even more horrific degree in Gaza and Lebanon. On Sunday morning, UNIFIL reported that 15 peacekeepers were injured in Lebanon...

Simon Harris: I thank the Deputy for raising this important issue, an issue that I know is close to all our hearts and indeed all our priorities.

Mary Lou McDonald: There are more than 11,000 children with disabilities waiting for an assessment of needs to be completed. As the Taoiseach knows, they are legally entitled to that assessment within six months, yet over the past decade we have seen a frightening lack of progress from Government in getting children access to their assessment on time. A parliamentary question response to my colleague, Deputy...

- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Ambulance Service (15 Oct 2024)

- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Ambulance Service (15 Oct 2024)
Colm Burke: As I understand it, the helicopter service is available.

I also outlined the levels of additional investment in 2025 for the NAS following budget 2025. That is an increase of more than €33 million. I will now mention the ambitious...
