Simon Harris: I thank Deputy Cairns very much for raising the question. The Government set the parameters for the housing targets for the next number of years out to 2030 today. That was a sensible thing to do because it does anchor the debate and discussion we will have no doubt in this country in the coming weeks. We also did that alongside the national planning framework because without a draft...

On Tuesday, 24 September, Mihai Marandici died of sepsis in Temple Street Children’s University Hospital after being transferred by ambulance from Tallaght University Hospital. He was seven months old. His devastated parents, Nicolae and Olesea are looking for answers. Their solicitor contacted me this morning on their behalf. ...

Seán Canney: I want to raise the power up grant for small business which was part of budget 2025 for the retail and hospitality sector. Some €170 million was made available with €4,000 per business.

Simon Harris: I thank Deputy Canney for raising this matter. We had an update from the Minister, Deputy Burke, at the Cabinet today. I do not have the figures in front of me but from looking through the table, local authority by local authority, it looks to me that around 60% of those eligible so far have applied for the grant. We will certainly keep under review the deadline for that grant. I think it...

The sole purpose of the vigil was to send a clear message to this Government and to the Garda Commissioner that we need gardaí and we need to see....

Vote 28 - Foreign Affairs (Supplementary) (5 Nov 2024)

David Stanton: I agree fully with the Tánaiste on that issue. The silo approach is not the way to go. It should be collective and co-operative. I have seen it in action and it is very impressive. When the Tánaiste opened Ireland House in New York, he mentioned Annie Moore from Cork, who left from Cobh. I will once again mention that for many years, and rightly so, we focused on the United...

David Stanton: I welcome the Tánaiste and his officials. I will ask about the Ireland House concept. It seems to be a very innovative and positive development. Has any cost-benefit analysis been carried out on the Ireland House work? How many have we got around the world and where are they?

We have to get this legislation correct and I think the appropriate way to proceed is for the foreign affairs committee, where the Bill will be at, to consider this issue this evening, to be briefed by the line Minister and the sponsor of the Bill, to receive presentations from both, and then for that committee to advise us on how to...
