Simon Harris: Thank you, a Cheann Comhairle. I thank Deputy Bacik who is clearly raising an important issue here----

Brendan Howlin: A serious issue.

Simon Harris: ---- which deserves to be treated with the seriousness with which the question is asked. Of course education is a vitally important issue. The Deputy is right to highlight that there are some challenges and pinch points in respect of recruitment that I want to deal with directly. We need to remind ourselves again that the vast majority of allocated teaching posts are of course filled....

Ivana Bacik: I thank the Taoiseach for his constructive response. A Cheann Comhairle, I apologise for my language earlier but I am sick of taking insults and abuse on cycling from Deputies who believe that God above is in charge of the weather and who have no record of taking the climate crisis seriously. I have no time for that nonsense.

Danny Healy-Rae: You would want to be sure you are not going to the pumps for diesel. You will not build a million houses either. We have enough of that now.

- 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.

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