Ceisteanna - Questions: Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (23 Oct 2024)

Seán Haughey: The Taoiseach did not meet with the President of Poland, but he met with the Prime Minister, Donald Tusk. Did the Taoiseach discuss rule-of-law issues with the Prime Minister and the need to uphold European values in these very uncertain times?

Ceisteanna - Questions: Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (23 Oct 2024)

Ruairi Ó Murchú: I think we are all glad when meeting with any world leaders that the issue of the ongoing genocide is brought up. When we talk to colleagues across the EU, there is nobody in Ireland who is going to say they can understand in any way, shape or form their views regarding the maintenance and continuity of the EU-Israel association agreement as it exists. We need to see, in whatever way...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (23 Oct 2024)

Richard Boyd Barrett: Did the Taoiseach discuss with Donald Tusk the fact the European Union's credibility is in absolute shreds because of the blatant double standards that are being displayed between its attitude toward legitimate resistance by the Ukrainian people against the brutal Russian invasion and the wholly different attitude to Palestinian people resisting a brutal, genocidal assault on Gaza and decades...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (23 Oct 2024)

Simon Harris: I will start with Deputy Boyd Barrett's questions as it is a very important issue. We decided at Government a couple of weeks ago that Ireland would opt in to this initiative to try to help get some of the very sickest children out of Gaza to receive life-altering, and often life-saving, medical procedures. I thank the Deputy for bringing the case of the paediatricians to my attention. I...

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...

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

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...

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

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...

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

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...

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

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...

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

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...

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

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...

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

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...

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

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...

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

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...

It is with honour, on behalf of the retired workers who have campaigned for more than a decade now and are in the Gallery today, that I move this. I am delighted to see the Bill move to Committee Stage. I thank the committee.
