An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (5 Nov 2024)

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: It has been just over a year since Storm Babet visited severe flooding on communities in east Cork and west Waterford. If we had not been reminded of this by its anniversary, the flooding in Spain will certainly have reminded us in a very visceral way. Replies to freedom of information requests show that detailed information is being shared with local authorities ahead of heavy rainfall...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (5 Nov 2024)

Willie O'Dea: It is an open secret that the accident and emergency services provided at University Hospital Limerick are grossly inadequate to meet the needs of the population the hospital is supposed to serve. More than six months has elapsed since HIQA was tasked with finding out if these services were adequate, although we all know they are not, and with making recommendations as to improvements that...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (5 Nov 2024)

Verona Murphy: Yesterday, I had a visit from a lady who had been diagnosed with cancer. She was particularly stressed because, having applied for and received a medical card, she then had to apply for the fuel allowance, an application that has been turned down. Today, that lady phoned me to say that she has received a secondary cancer diagnosis. She is particularly stressed. Not being able to heat her...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (5 Nov 2024)

Simon Harris: I will ask the Minister, Deputy Eamon Ryan, to take the two questions on transport if that is okay. I will respond very briefly on the other matters. I thank Deputy Griffin very much for raising the issue of the posthumous pardon for Sylvester Poff and James Barrett and for his role in that campaign. His suggestion as regards Ballymullen Barracks is appropriate and I will certainly follow...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (5 Nov 2024)

Eamon Ryan: To respond to Deputy Danny Healy-Rae, our Department will be looking at the roads allocation for both national and regional roads now. It will have to be agreed with Transport Infrastructure Ireland. That will be developed and agreed with TII before the end of the year. I absolutely agree that we need to maintain maintenance funding for roads because, once a road falls below a certain...

Control of Economic Activity (Occupied Territories) Bill 2018: Referral to Select Committee [Private Members] (5 Nov 2024)

Thomas Pringle: I move: That the Bill be referred to the Select Committee on Foreign Affairs and Defence pursuant to Standing Order 180. Even at this late stage, it is vitally important that any barriers to the passing of the Bill be removed. This can be done through this motion. There is still time for the Government to have a change of heart. It is not likely but there is still time. It is very...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (5 Nov 2024)

Simon Harris: I thank the Deputy for raising the issue and wish Dr. Hillery all the best with her retirement. I take the point he made about the gap in service provision and the anxiety that is causing for people who need ophthalmology services. I will raise it directly with the Minister and the chief executive of the HSE and ask them to come back to the Deputy urgently.

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (5 Nov 2024)

Joan Collins: For well over two years I have been putting this question to a number of Ministers and nothing fundamental has changed. This is the last opportunity I will have to raise this issue. There is a critical lack of public health nurses in Dublin 12 and Dublin 8. There are in many cases no development checks happening for children. These are vital checks, as the Taoiseach knows. I have mother...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (5 Nov 2024)

Simon Harris: I thank the Deputy for raising this issue, which I acknowledge she has raised on a number of occasions. I can only tell her what my understanding is. My understanding is this was not a funding issue and that there was a challenge in identifying people, but I take the point the Deputy has a piece of paper from the HSE that does not fully align with that. I personally undertake to raise the...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (5 Nov 2024)

Christopher O'Sullivan: Does the Taoiseach agree every major town should have a swimming pool? It is a basic facility. Bandon is biggest town in my constituency of Cork South-West. It has a population in excess of 8,000 but it does not have this basic facility that every family and every child should be able to access. There is a swimming pool in Dunmanway. It is a public pool but it is oversubscribed. It is...
