Darren O'Rourke: I know we are tight for time but I want to touch on the issue of concrete and I have listened to the Minister's comments on it so far. I hear a lot from the sector that there are new obligations and new levies but that the developed infrastructure is not there to support them to recycle or reuse construction materials. Does the Minister recognise this as a problem and a challenge and what...

Martin Browne: In response to the petitioner Tusla has said that while HIQA does not place sanctions on Tusla, if it finds improvement must be made to service, it gets Tusla to complete a complaints plan which is followed up subsequently and inspection reports are posted on HIQA's website.

Committee on Public Petitions: Decisions on Petitions Received (24 Oct 2024)

Pat Buckley: This is going on a long time. It was 1992 or something when this started. I will take up to 2011, I think. The document here has 41 pages. I see the work that has gone into this. The way this family has been treated is diabolical. I will read out some quotes because it is interesting that they are still fighting in 2024. I am reading from p.11: When we met the top two officials from...

Martin Browne: Someone needs to answer for the fact that this unsafe vessel was registered as safe in the first place when it clearly was not.

Committee on Public Petitions: Decisions on Petitions Received (24 Oct 2024)

Martin Browne: It is crazy that everybody recognises the problems that are out there and the danger of involved but that no one seems to be prepared to move it on.
