Denise Mitchell: I raise the BusConnects project, in particular, a plan in the area where I live to remove a wall between the Malahide Road and Ayrfield estate in Dublin 13. There is a green space behind this wall where children play daily. There are real concerns about the safety of children in the area. Residents have raised their concerns with the NTA as well as elected representatives. The removal of...

Micheál Martin: I certainly will. I will raise it with the Minister, who will raise it with BusConnects. This is the Clongriffin core bus corridor and the proposal for pedestrian-cyclist connection, which plans to provide direct access for the residents of Ayrfield estate to the high levels of bus service on the Malahide Road. The Deputy has said that a safety issue then arises. The NTA engages in...

Micheál Martin: -----about the safety aspect of this because these are important issues that we cannot be oblivious to. It cannot all be just an engineering solution. The needs of the community and of children have to be taken into account.

Peadar Tóibín: Very serious allegations have been made against a Member of the Oireachtas, including that he or she is being used as an intelligence asset by the Russian Government. That any Oireachtas Member elected to represent the interests of the Irish people would allow himself or herself to be manipulated to work in the interests of a foreign government is scandalous. It is actually treacherous....

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (10 Oct 2024)

Micheál Martin: Yes. Let me finish. I will make an important point and statement. When I was Taoiseach on the dates concerning the allegations against this individual, I received security briefings but I was never told and never briefed that there was a spy in the Oireachtas, which to all intents and purposes is what the article in The Sunday Times asserted. I am very surprised at the degree to which...

Violet-Anne Wynne: I raise a local GP issue that we have in County Clare. A local GP, who is a naturalised Irish citizen, applied in January for a visa for his mother to come to visit him. He was told in March that he needed more paperwork to prove his relationship and to show that she did not intend to overstay. All of that information was provided in April. The visa office recently advised that it is...

Micheál Martin: I thank the Deputy for raising the issue. I understand fully the points she made. I do not know whether she has spoken to the Minister for Justice or the Minister of State at that Department about the case. Obviously, we need GPs. They are vital in rural Ireland in particular. I do not have the details of the case. In fairness, there is an independent process for the granting of visas...

Bríd Smith: I honestly believe that most people in this country will see the performance of An Taoiseach, Simon Harris, after he left the meeting in Washington with Joe Biden yesterday as woeful, pitiful and feeble. Anyone who was given an opportunity to say to Joe Biden to stop arming Israel would use it. Emmanuel Macron has done so. What is the problem with our Taoiseach not doing so? This morning,...

Matt Shanahan: Discussion on the Gambling Regulation Bill continues in the Seanad this week. A particular area I have raised in the House before does not come within the scope of this Bill. That is the gambling lock, which is the ability for customers to put a gambling lock on their bank accounts. I commend AIB on finally implementing this ability. From speaking to counselling services, it will have a...

Micheál Martin: I pay tribute to the Minister of State, James Browne, for his championing of the gambling legislation. He has put significant work into that. I hope the House can get that Bill passed through both the Dáil and the Seanad-----

Micheál Martin: -----before anything else happens in the time ahead. I appeal to everybody in the House for co-operation in getting that legislation through. I agree with Deputy Shanahan about that gambling block. I will talk to the Minister and engage with the other banks about following the lead given by Allied Irish Banks with that initiative. Gambling has created enormous harm for families and...

Mattie McGrath: A Tipperary teacher who has taught SPHE over a period of 16 years says she is one of several teachers who have resigned or are considering resigning from their roles because they are completely appalled, sickened and deeply concerned at the new SPHE curriculum, which they say has the potential to be very harmful to young school students. I am not against sex education in secondary schools...

Micheál Martin: I did not quite get the overall import of what the Deputy was saying. My understanding is that relates to material for adults. Is it teacher training material for SPHE or RSE?
