Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (23 Oct 2024)

Simon Harris: I will. I do not want to bluff on this. I need to get on top of it, but I will certainly look at it in light of what the Deputy said. The general approach we should take on European matters is we should never be out of kilter with what seems to be the norm. If the Deputy is saying we are taking an approach that is very different from many other States, that would be a concern for me. I...

Maurice Quinlivan: Over the past number of months, there has been a growing number of violent fire bomb attacks and incidents in Limerick city, particularly in the Garryowen, Ballinacurra Weston and South Hill areas of the city. On Sunday night, a man was injured by a petrol bomb thrown at a house. On Sunday morning, the emergency services attended another fire bomb in the city; a woman was treated for...

Simon Harris: I thank the Deputy for raising the issue. I will speak to the Minister, Deputy McEntee, and ask that she speaks to the Garda in Limerick. I join with the Deputy in thanking gardaĆ­ for the work they do in Limerick, while also accepting that supporting and resourcing them is key and core. That is what we want to do. Limerick is one of the areas that has the roll-out of body cams for...

David Cullinane: I have always raised issues in my constituency very robustly and, I hope, very fairly with the Taoiseach and Ministers. I am growing very impatient, however, regarding the issue of Waterford Airport and the need for State funding to extend its runway. There is a lot of very harsh feeling in Waterford regarding comments made by the Minister of State, Deputy Lawless, last week, when he used...

Simon Harris: I am in favour of the Waterford Airport development. I know there is frustration in Waterford. I thank the Deputy for raising the issue regarding a decision. I will seek an update from the Minister for Transport. My understanding is that the business case is with him for consideration. In my view, there is a very compelling case in respect of Waterford Airport. That is a strongly held...

Frank Feighan: The residential zoned land tax is due to come into place on 1 February 2025. Is there any case for a further review of it? One-size-fits-all does not help in my constituency of Sligo-Leitrim or in south Donegal. Local authorities need to identify demand and growth centres. We need to have a further review of the residential zoned land tax.

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (23 Oct 2024)

Simon Harris: The Deputy will remember the issues in this regard over the summer months. The Government has decided to proceed with this tax because it is important, and the Deputy shares this view, that in a housing crisis there is not any land hoarding. To his point, it is also important that the tax needs to be implemented in a fair manner. There is a difference between land hoarding and people who...

Niamh Smyth: I raise the matter of the Errigal Truagh Special Needs services at Emyvale, County Monaghan. It has a project, with state-of-the-art plans, which has planning permission to develop and deliver much-needed day and weekend respite services for children aged between six and 17 to provide essential support for children who are currently under the CDNT for County Monaghan. I do not need to tell...

Simon Harris: I thank the Deputy for raising this important issue following her meeting with the group at Emyvale. I know the importance of this. She is right to say that there is a lot of unmet need, when it comes to day and weekend respite for children. We are all working to come up with innovative solutions. The one the Deputy outlined sounds like a very innovative solution. I had the honour of...

Gino Kenny: The Joint Committee on Drugs Use published its interim report yesterday. There will be a general election in the next few weeks so this is essentially its final report. This has been a very good committee. It has been very important in looking at different models of drugs policy and saving lives. This is the most important thing. The committee took into account the recommendations of the...

Simon Harris: I sincerely acknowledge the Deputy's work and his strength of feeling on this. Even though we do not always agree on every element of it, I fully acknowledge he is motivated by a sense of wanting to save lives and help people. I thank him for the work he has done on that. The first thing I will do is read the report, which I have not done. All of us, during the general election, need...

Simon Harris: I do not doubt the seriousness of the issue the Deputy raised. I just do not have the details to hand nor am I sure about the appropriateness of commenting on the floor of the House. However, if the Deputy wants to correspond with me on the matter, I will certainly undertake to pass it on to the relevant parties.

Catherine Connolly: Earlier the Taoiseach took exception to somebody quoting their gospel. Let me quote the gospel of HIQA and a report that was issued today about University Hospital Galway. It states that: "the risk of compromised quality and safety of patient care due to insufficient capacity to manage demand in the emergency department [is] one of the highest rated risks on the hospital's corporate risk...

Simon Harris: I try not to quote the Gospels but I take HIQA reports seriously. They are an important indication and are there for a very good reason. I have not yet seen that HIQA report but I will look at it now the Deputy has brought it to my attention. We have provided very significant additional funding to the Saolta Hospital Group for 2025. We are at the point of asking what the impact is in...
