- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Housing Provision (8 Oct 2024)
Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: The Deputy is correct. I recall a number of examples of complete regeneration projects in Dublin, including right in the heart of the north inner city and in Dolphin's Barn where flats were beyond their lifespan in the way described by the Deputy. A completely different regenerative approach was necessary but it was largely driven by Dublin City Council in the first instance and supported...

- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Water Quality (8 Oct 2024)
Aindrias Moynihan: I thank the Minister of State for the reply and the various details supplied. She indicated that crews are out working to facilitate the lifting of the boil water notice. It would be very reasonable for people locally to know what it is the crews are doing. What is Irish Water doing? What action is being taken? What did Irish Water do have the original boil water notice lifted on 25...

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I could not agree more. It appears that the issues which give rise to the necessity for boil water notices can be easily understood and communicated. They can sometimes be persistent. I have an issue in my area whereby after very heavy rainfall, people are aware that there will some difficulties for a very particular reason and that there is a longer term strategy to remedy the problem....

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: I bring to the attention of the Minister of State six blocks of flats in the Togher area. They are all of the same type, and I will come to that in a while. These flats at Cherry Tree Road, Hazel Road, Sycamore Place, Maple Place, Togher Road and Clashduv Road were built in the 1970s by what was then Cork Corporation. The flats are part of a very strong community in the Togher area, but on...

Thomas Pringle: There is a lot of high-level gobbledegook in that response - SRMTs reporting to chief officers and stuff like that - but the reality is that while the outcome of the Brandon report was supposed to be the decongregation of the facility where Brandon lived, it has not been. I have been dealing with this since about 2016. That it has not been decongregated yet is down to HSE management not...

Anne Rabbitte: I know. I will give the Deputy the commitment tonight that I will talk to Mr. Lehane to see exactly how close we are to completion of it. I certainly would like to bring it to complete closure before this Dáil finishes up. I see it as one of the pieces in relation to safeguarding. I and the Minister of State beside me, Deputy Carroll MacNeill, talk a lot about safeguarding. There is...

Aindrias Moynihan: I raise the ongoing boil water notice impacting on people in the Macroom, Carrigadrohid and Canovee area. It has been in place since last August. There was a short reprieve and, bang, it was down again within five days. That is putting pressure on local residents, who have to boil or buy water, for a prolonged period. Last night I met Siobhán, who outlined her fear at not being...
- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Water Quality (8 Oct 2024)
Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: It is a most reasonable request and I am sorry the Deputy has to raise it persistently on behalf of his constituents. I note what he has said about communication with Irish Water-Uisce Éireann, whose services continue to improve yet have room for further improvement. As the Deputy is aware, the operation of Macroom public water supply is a matter for Uisce Éireann, which has...

Anne Rabbitte: The Deputy asked a very clear question as to what is the next phase. October is the next phase for the intake of the additional ten schools to be rolled out in 2024-25. I might disagree with the Deputy when he says there are too many Departments and agencies involved. It was the lack of Departments and the lack of engagement between various agencies that siloed us and got us to the...

Thomas Pringle: I thank the Minister of State for taking this Topical Issue. It is refreshing to have the Minister of State responsible take an issue when it arises. She has dealt with this issue all throughout the process and I thank her for that. I first raised the issue of the Brandon report in a Topical Issue in the convention centre in July 2021. At that time, the Ceann Comhairle said on the...

Anne Rabbitte: I would like to thank the Deputy for raising this matter. I agree with him. For context, we are discussing this since May 2021. I am advised that the then chief officer of HSE community healthcare Cavan, Donegal, Leitrim, Monaghan, Sligo established an independently chaired strategic working group, SWG, in line with objective 5 of the HSE corporate plan 2021-2024, which is to "work to...

Pádraig O'Sullivan: The Minister of State and I are here again. A number of colleagues from Cork North Central and I raised a joint Topical Issue two weeks ago on a very similar issue. I wish to put on record that I appreciate the Minister of State being here again. She has been a great advocate for reintroducing the pilot scheme and trying to get therapists back into schools. We were here two weeks ago...
