Simon Harris: I ran out of time.
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (23 Oct 2024)
Peadar Tóibín: Many of these deaths are as a result of a failure of State care. I will give him other examples. The Government is using special emergency arrangements at the moment to accommodate children. These are often unregulated, rented accommodations provided by third-parties with questionable vetting standards. Children are going missing every month and these children are being exposed to sexual...

Seán Ó Fearghaíl: Thank you, Deputy. Your time is up.

Peadar Tóibín: -----it is the polar opposite of that. It is really important that we get to the heart of the fatal dysfunction that exists in our childcare system currently in this country.

Peadar Tóibín: Will the Taoiseach ask for the Minister, Tusla and CAMHS to be brought before the children's committee to focus on this fatal dysfunction?

Peadar Tóibín: The Taoiseach can ask, like any TD here can.

Simon Harris: The Deputy is asking me a question as the Taoiseach. I will respond to it, if that is alright. First, the Minister, Deputy O'Gorman, is a good person who works hard and does a good job. I do not like the aspersion cast on him in the constant framing of the Deputy's questions quite frankly. Of course, I am going to use the time available to me, when the Deputy raised the case of Kyran...

Richard Boyd Barrett: I believe the Government is deceiving the public about what is actually happening in the health service. While it claims it is trying to recruit people to the health service to fill the staff shortages to address the ever-growing waiting lists, which have now reached nearly 1 million people in various hospitals, or the 10,000 children waiting for assessments of need, the 110,000 children...

Richard Boyd Barrett: It absolutely is. I was talking to radiation therapists who will be in here later today. They say that despite capital investment in, for example, linear accelerators and scanners in Cork, Galway and St. Luke's, the machines are sitting idle because they do not have enough staff, and that if people leave, there is no guarantee at all that they will be replaced and there is no effort to...

Richard Boyd Barrett: I believe the health workers. I do not believe the Government. The workers are saying that they are stressed and overworked, that staffing levels are not safe, that patient safety is being endangered and that they are utterly demoralised. The Taoiseach should tell the truth about what is happening in the health service and scrap the pay and numbers strategy.
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (23 Oct 2024)
Simon Harris: We will not scrap the pay and numbers strategy because that is how you run the country. You run Government Departments and public services by providing a budget that is voted through this House. That budget then translates into a number of positions in any public service agency and then the agency or the Minister responsible ensures those positions are filled. If it is the position of the...
