- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (15 Oct 2024)
Mary Lou McDonald: I hope he also accepts that this is not a tolerable situation. That has to change and for it to change, he needs to name a date, in my opinion. That is also the opinion, as the Taoiseach knows, of Cara Darmody, of her father Mark, and everybody who has campaigned very hard on this issue. I mentioned Jaden and Ciara to the Taoiseach. Like many parents, Ciara is not on her own. There...

Simon Harris: Please do.

Mary Lou McDonald: -----although he is not an exception. There are many others in that situation. Rather than questioning the commitment for the six-month rule, can the Taoiseach make a commitment that the law will be respected and that the six-month rule will be upheld? The Taoiseach knows that is the campaign of Cara Darmody in the end - yes, private provision in the meantime and the finance for it but she...

Simon Harris: I smiled supportively there because definitely Cara does not need the Deputy or me to speak for her.

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. I note the Sinn Féin Private Members' motion on the matter this week, which applies an appropriate degree of focus to this very important issue. We have taken a number of steps in recent weeks alone to try to make significant progress in the lives of...

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)
Colm Burke: In fairness, the response I gave sets out clearly that there is emergency support in relation to the emergency aeromedical services in the west and north west.
- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Ambulance Service (15 Oct 2024)
Éamon Ó Cuív: That is not the issue. How do you get to that service? How do you get to the airfield if the person lives or is located two miles away.
- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Ambulance Service (15 Oct 2024)
Colm Burke: As I understand it, the helicopter service is available. Earlier, I addressed the specific issue of emergency care on the islands and spoke about the significant increases in NAS resourcing in recent years. 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...
