- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: An Garda Síochána (23 Oct 2024)
Alan Kelly: I thank the Minister for reading the script. It does not really address my concerns. I appreciate he is not the direct Minister but 15,000 gardaí - when are we going to get realistic? There was a report on Dublin city centre recently where they want 1,000 more gardaí. It is laughable. There are gardaí looking to retire all the time. I know of gardaí who are now...

Joe O'Brien: I thank the Deputy again on behalf of the Minister for raising this important matter. When I take a Topical Issue, I look at the question and try to understand what is behind the issue.

Alan Kelly: I appreciate that.
- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: An Garda Síochána (23 Oct 2024)
Joe O'Brien: The question was fairly broad in that related to Tipperary and Clare, which is a big area. I will take back the specific issues the Deputy mentioned around Nenagh, Roscrea and Newport and long-term sick leave. The issue around leaving stations vacant comes up in my area as well. Sometimes, the senior garda in the area says they are between a rock and a hard place. People want to see...

Wastewater Treatment
- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Wastewater Treatment (23 Oct 2024)
Holly Cairns: Since being elected, wastewater treatment has been a recurring issue raised by communities across Cork South-West. I am focusing on the issue of the wastewater treatment plant in Ballydehob this morning but almost every area of west Cork is feeling the pressure from crumbling water infrastructure. From an environmental and health perspective, the very least people should expect is the...
- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Wastewater Treatment (23 Oct 2024)
Malcolm Noonan: I thank the Deputy for raising this critically important issue. The supply of public water and the provision of water services in general are matters for Uisce Éireann in the first instance. Uisce Éireann has statutory responsibility for all aspects of water services planning, delivery and operation at national, regional and local level. The Minister has no function regarding...
- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Medicinal Products (23 Oct 2024)
Colm Burke: More than 2,000 people participated in overdose awareness and naloxone administration training in 2023. The work is ongoing in relation to having more people trained in its administration. Regarding availability, more than 6,000 units were given out last year, with 4,000 units distributed by July of this year. It is available where we believe there is a need for it. The international...

Alan Kelly: There was a recent meeting of councillors from the Nenagh municipal district with the new Garda superintendent. The cross-party group of councillors came out of the meeting pretty shocked because he more or less admitted that he did not have the resources in the Tipperary-Clare division to meet the requirements of the area. He was pretty matter-of-fact about it. He has to be admired for...
- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: An Garda Síochána (23 Oct 2024)
Joe O'Brien: I thank the Deputy for raising this matter in the House. I convey the apologies of my colleague, the Minster for Justice, Deputy McEntee, who regrets she cannot be here for this matter due to another commitment. As the Deputy will be aware, by law, the Garda Commissioner is responsible for the distribution of Garda members and resources between the various Garda stations and divisions....

Neasa Hourigan: I know from our work on the health committee with the Minister of State, Deputy Burke, that he is well aware of the urgent crisis we have with drug deaths in this country. We have very high levels of injury due to the use of illicit drugs. One of the tools in combating risk of death and injury is to use drugs such as naloxone to stabilise someone during a usage crisis or an overdose....
