Seán Ó Fearghaíl: Stop bickering, please.

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (23 Oct 2024)

Ivana Bacik: A Cheann Comhairle, I want to address the Taoiseach's response to me. Government policy is taking teachers for granted, notwithstanding his response. We still have some of the highest pupil-teacher ratios in Europe. The Government promised a citizens' assembly on the future of education which seems to have been quietly dropped. We want to know when the Taoiseach will address the teacher...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (23 Oct 2024)

Simon Harris: Very shortly we are probably going to ask the people of Ireland to elect a citizens' assembly called the Dáil. I do not want to mislead the Deputy or the House on that. It is unlikely that there will be any further citizens' assemblies proposed by this Government. I would like to say on the record of the House that I do see merit in a citizens' assembly on education. We have had...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (23 Oct 2024)

Mary Lou McDonald: Fine Gael has been in government now for nearly 14 years, joined at the hip with Fianna Fáil for the last eight. We are on the eve of a general election and we still have a very serious crisis in our hospitals and across the wider health service. On the Taoiseach's watch, accident and emergency departments are dangerously overcrowded, the trolley crisis has become a year-round problem,...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (23 Oct 2024)

Simon Harris: I thank Deputy McDonald for raising important issues in our health service and recruitment into our health service. Of course, the reason we talk about numbers of people working in our health service is because we all want to see improved patient outcomes and improved patient wait times. I will dwell on that in a moment. A bit of context that is important when we are discussing health...

Mattie McGrath: Where are they? In offices?

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (23 Oct 2024)

Simon Harris: She does not need any help. Deputy McDonald is right that there is an importance to the whole issue of safe staffing and the safe staffing framework. Indeed, I would have worked on this when I was in the Department of Health. The Minister, Deputy Donnelly, has done huge work on this. I am pleased to tell the House and, more importantly, people watching at home that the safe nursing...

Danny Healy-Rae: What about Kerry? The Taoiseach did not mention it at all.

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (23 Oct 2024)

Simon Harris: I will get you a figure for Kerry but that has gone up, too, Deputy.

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (23 Oct 2024)

Stephen Donnelly: No, it has not. It has gone way up.

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (23 Oct 2024)

Simon Harris: Let me tell the Deputy this, because it is too important to shout and interrupt here. In terms of waiting times, it means that we are seeing waiting times fall. They are not falling in the North, they are not falling in the UK, they are not falling in most of Europe but they are falling here in Ireland. Wait times for outpatient services have reduced from 13.2 months in July 2021 to seven...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (23 Oct 2024)

Mary Lou McDonald: Here is the context for you, Taoiseach. When the Government came to office there was a crisis in healthcare, and as it leaves office there is a crisis in healthcare, and everybody knows it. Those are the facts.

Simon Harris: Says you.

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (23 Oct 2024)

Mary Lou McDonald: According to yourself, staffing is safe and sufficient. Why then are people waiting for care? How is it then that cardiac rehabilitation equipment lies idle? How is that can cancer patients are left waiting for treatment - 120 per day, it is reckoned by SIPTU - due to a lack of radiation therapists? How is it that you cannot walk the length of yourself anywhere without meeting people who...
