- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Children’s Hospital: Discussion (9 Oct 2024)
Róisín Shortall: As the Minister said himself, this is the biggest health infrastructure and the biggest project undertaken by the State. Surely it would have been ensured an adequate salary would apply.

- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Special Educational Needs (9 Oct 2024)
Ruairi Ó Murchú: It seems that those numbers have dropped off from an earlier parliamentary question I asked. We are now talking about 98, which is the figure the group I met were spoken to about, whereas there was a plan for 101. Three classes have now dropped off. I would like to think everything will be done to make sure that is delivered because we are dealing with a lack of provision. I think the...

- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Special Educational Needs (9 Oct 2024)
Ruairi Ó Murchú: I also spoke to the Minister of State, Deputy Naughton, about Shelagh National School, a primary school, to make sure it has contact. It is about building autism units already planned. That is another issue across the board.

Catherine Connolly: We will be late starting the next session.
- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Special Educational Needs (9 Oct 2024)
Anne Rabbitte: I will bring back the name of Shelagh National School to the Minister of State. The Deputy is a very strong advocate in this space. With the recruitment of the extra NCSEs - doubling numbers - I have no doubt there is provision for a new NCSE to look after the wee county of Louth to ensure there is proper capacity building in primary and post-primary. When you look at the numbers going...

Road Safety
- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Road Safety (9 Oct 2024)
David Stanton: I thank the Ceann Comhairle's office for selecting this Topical Issue and thank the Minister of State for being here this morning. She is working overtime and should get an increase in wages, she is doing so many Topical Issues for everybody else. I also acknowledge Deputy O'Connor. Both of us are Government TDs from the same constituency and raise the same issue. I do not know if anybody...

Róisín Shortall: What did Royal BAM Group say about staffing levels?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Children’s Hospital: Discussion (9 Oct 2024)
John Lahart: Will the Minister explain this for members of the public who are watching? I am sure most of them get what is involved. What does the commissioning of the building mean?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Children’s Hospital: Discussion (9 Oct 2024)
John Lahart: I thank the Minister and his officials for their attendance before the committee on this very important matter. The Minister will take away with him the fact that the committee remains acutely concerned about the issues arising from the development of the national children's hospital. We will be monitoring it closely. Having visited, we know that, in spite of everything we have said today,...
- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Road Projects (9 Oct 2024)
Anne Rabbitte: Over the past 25 years, the Government of Ireland has invested heavily in our national roads network, with an extensive motorway system now in place. The motorway network has seen almost tenfold expansion since 2000. Due to the outlined funding constraints for national roads, a prioritisation exercise was necessary from the outset. In line with the NDP and Government policy, the Minister...
