- CJEU Judgment in Apple State Aid Case: Statements (18 Sep 2024)
Jack Chambers: Last week, the Court of Justice of the European Union delivered its judgment, the final milestone in what has been a long-running legal process, beginning in 2013 when the Commission began their investigation into a number of tax arrangements across the EU. I want to take this opportunity to outline the history of the case and reiterate the importance of taking this case, notwithstanding...

Mick Barry: The case of Harvey Sherratt has been raised in the Dáil today. Can the Taoiseach give the House a guarantee that no other children were taken off the CHI scoliosis lists without consultation with or notification of their parents and if he cannot, will he investigate whether that was the case? Will he call for the publication of the Arthur Cox investigation into CHI’s management...

Simon Harris: In response to Deputy Ó Murchú, I will follow up with the Minister for Health with regard to an update and timeline for the Drogheda department of psychiatry and the issue of nursing and other vacancies in the health service in the Louth-Meath area. I thank Deputies Tóibín and Barry for raising the issue of Harvey, which was also raised in the House earlier today. I...

Mick Barry: What about Arthur Cox?
- Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (18 Sep 2024)
Simon Harris: That was the report I referenced. I will talk to the Minister for Health and the task force that he set up. I will familiarise myself and come back to the Deputy on whether that can be published. I certainly want to meet the advocacy groups with the head of the HSE and the Minister for Health at the start of next month to see how more progress can be made on this issue, and to discuss any...

Richard Boyd Barrett: It is worse. The IMO says it is worse.
- Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (18 Sep 2024)
Simon Harris: I do not believe it is. There has been a very significant level of investment. I will read the IMO’s comments in that regard, the Minister will engage on that and, of course, we will have a new health budget delivered on budget day just two weeks from today. In response to Deputy Wynne, I am happy for there to be a debate in this House on UHL. I might have said on that occasion...

Mary Lou McDonald: 6. To ask the Taoiseach when the Cabinet committee on EU and international affairs will next meet. [36564/24]
- Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (18 Sep 2024)
Simon Harris: The Cabinet committee on EU and international affairs oversees implementation of programme for Government commitments and considers policy matters in relation to the European Union and international issues. The committee generally meets in advance of meetings of the European Council to discuss the agenda for these meetings. In addition, it considers current EU and international matters,...

Ruairi Ó Murchú: Mobile devices across Lebanon, whether pagers or two-way radios, exploded indiscriminately, killing 12, including two children, and injuring thousands. Obviously, this was a clear attempt by Israel to escalate the situation and further destabilise the region, and an attempt to distract from the genocide it is committing in Gaza. In February of this year, the then Taoiseach, Deputy Varadkar,...

Paul Murphy: It is reported that more bombs are going off in Lebanon now, with an additional three people killed today, and we know 12 were killed yesterday, including two children. This is state terrorism. It is a very clear war crime and I would like the Taoiseach to clearly condemn it in those terms. This is not some once-off out of nowhere. Over the last year, there have been more than 6,000...

Simon Harris: I propose to take Questions Nos. 3 to 5, inclusive, together. The Cabinet committee on health last met on 1 July 2024 and is due to meet again soon. In addition to the meetings of the full Cabinet and of Cabinet committees, I meet Ministers on an individual basis to focus on different issues. I meet regularly with the Minister for Health to discuss progress and challenges in the area...

Ruairi Ó Murchú: I raise the issue of the Drogheda department of psychiatry in Crosslanes. Planning permission has been granted for a ten-bed extension. The significant issue in Louth-Meath is historically poor bed provision. We are operating at around 12.9 beds per 100,000, whereas in the rest of the State it is more like 15 or 16 beds per 100,000. We need a timeline for that. The Mental Health...

Peadar Tóibín: I raise the horrific case of Harvey Sherratt. Harvey is an eight-year-old boy. For some reason, he has been removed from the waiting list for scoliosis surgery without his parents being informed of this. Many people will have seen images of Harvey circulating in the media. It is shockingly clear that this child is suffering significantly. The curvature of his spine seems to be in excess...
