Éamon Ó Cuív: Seo í an uair dheireanach a labhróidh mé sa Dáil. Gabhaim buíochas leis an gCeann Comhairle agus an fhoireann uile atá sa Teach seo as ucht na hoibre ar fad a dhéanann siad agus an bealach a chaitheann siad linn i gcónaí. Tá siad go deas réchúiseach, tuisceanach agus stuama. Mar is eol don Tánaiste, níor aontaigh...

Micheál Martin: Ar dtús báire, táim sásta geallúint a thabhairt go leanfar ar aghaidh leis an reachtaíocht sin. Sula dtéimid isteach in aon rialtas eile, ba chóir don Teachta bheith cinnte nach mbeimid ar an taobh seo den Teach ag dul isteach i rialtas gan an gheallúint a bheith laistigh den chlár Rialtais nua go gcríochnófar an Bille seo agus...

Louise O'Reilly: I want to add my words of thanks to the Ceann Comhairle, as our Chairperson, and to the staff of the Houses who never ever fail to look after us. I want to ask the Tánaiste about the latest grant scheme to support small businesses. It genuinely looks like this one is going the same direction as the others, with €1.4 billion allocated and €1.1 billion returned to the...

Martin Browne: I thank the Ceann Comhairle and all the staff for their friendship and help during my term here. South Tipperary has been failed by this Government and Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael governments over the years. The St. Michael's unit in Clonmel has been closed. We have no mental health beds in south Tipperary. The Minister of State, Deputy Butler, who is seated behind the...

Mary Butler: I thank the Deputy for the question. There is a little bit of short memory going on here. My very first meeting, as Minister of State with responsibility for mental health and older people, was in the Minella hotel in Clonmel.

Mary Butler: I was three days into the brief at the time and the Deputy was present. The Deputy asked me to do two things that day. He asked me to build and open a crisis house in Clonmel, which I did it, and to open a Jigsaw facility, which I also did. Let us get the facts on the ground. The Deputy is talking about older people now. There is, correctly, a new community nursing unit, CNU, in Clonmel....

Mary Butler: In case anybody might think we forgot about south Tipperary, my good friend, Councillor Imelda Goldsboro, is at the doors and she has not forgotten one thing about what is happening in Clonmel. With regard to the CNU the Deputy spoke about, Councillor Roger Kennedy was in touch with me during the week and I engaged again on the matter. I found out from the HSE that it will have a plan in...

Pádraig O'Sullivan: Last winter, the Tánaiste, the then Minister for Finance, Deputy Michael McGrath, and I surveyed the damage that had occurred at Sarsfields GAA Club in Glanmire following extensive flooding. The astro turf pitch and bar area were destroyed and the clubhouse damaged. The main pitch has to be reinstated. There have been long delays with insurers, loss adjusters and so on. To be fair,...
- Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (7 Nov 2024)
Micheál Martin: I met the Deputy at Sarsfields grounds after the flooding. The club played a role in helping to alleviate the danger to the town when those horrific floods happened. We went to the Minister of State, Deputy Thomas Byrne, and, in what was an exceptional measure given the impact of the floods in destroying the entire grounds, an allocation to the club of €570,000 was announced some...

Brendan Smith: I thank the Ceann Comhairle and all the staff in the Houses for the courtesy and support they have shown over the years. Our small and medium enterprises, which are the backbone of our economy, particularly in smaller urban and rural areas, have faced particular challenges over the last few years due to increased costs. Many of those businesses fear for their viability into the future....

Micheál Martin: I thank the Deputy for raising this issue. The power up grant announced as part of the budget builds on the successful increased cost of business scheme that this year has paid out some €244 million to more than 75,000 businesses right across the country. The power up grant now has a budget of €170 million. Qualifying businesses will receive a grant of €4,000. More...
