Ceisteanna - Questions: Departmental Policies (22 Oct 2024)

Mick Barry: Last week, I showed the Taoiseach the horrible, discoloured water the residents of Mount Farran in Blackpool on the northside of Cork city were having to put up with. When I put the video of our exchange up on my social media, I got messages from people in Gurranabraher, the Glen, Mayfield, Spring Lane, Dublin Hill, Ballyvolane, Shanakiel, Blarney Street, Wellington Road and elsewhere, to...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Departmental Policies (22 Oct 2024)

Richard Boyd Barrett: The well-being of many, if not most, of our students is not in a good place. The email that Holly, the student nurse from Athlone, sent to all of us is emblematic of the crisis facing many students. She talks about something on which we put a motion forward during Covid, that is, the failure to pay student nurses on placement. You can add to that those in mental health nursing, early...

Pauline Tully: Thank you, Deputy.

Ceisteanna - Questions: Departmental Policies (22 Oct 2024)

Richard Boyd Barrett: When we are suffering chronic shortages in so many areas of healthcare, construction and other areas of the economy, why are we not giving these students the support and valuing them in the way they deserve, in the way, for example, they do with student nurses in Scotland and everywhere else in Europe where they do far better for students?

Ceisteanna - Questions: Departmental Policies (22 Oct 2024)

Paul Murphy: I note the Taoiseach is quoted as saying the introduction of €90 fines for people on job seeker's payments who refuse to engage - so-called -with employment services is common sense. I put it to him that it is not good sense anyway. It is really Tory sense. This is another attempt by Fine Gael, Fianna Fáil and the Greens, to introduce "I, Daniel Blake"-style social welfare...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Departmental Policies (22 Oct 2024)

Cian O'Callaghan: I ask the Taoiseach about the well-being of students in Gaelcholáiste Reachrann. As I am sure he would agree, the staff in this great coláiste are very dedicated. The students have been left in prefabs for more than 20 years, however, having been promised permanent school buildings. That is more than 20 years of waiting. There are students in prefab classrooms every day without...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Departmental Policies (22 Oct 2024)

Ruairi Ó Murchú: First, I bring up the really tragic story of Kyran Durnin, the missing child and subject of the murder investigation. We obviously hope this investigation continues, the child is found and we get some element of truth and justice. There is a wider issue regarding child welfare and child protection, but that is for another day. I also bring up the issue of Michael Reade of LMFM, whom,...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Departmental Policies (22 Oct 2024)

Simon Harris: "Yes" is the answer to Deputy Barry. I absolutely agree that Uisce Éireann should accede to that request for a face-to-face meeting. I have written to the chief executive on behalf of the Deputy's constituents following his representations in the House last week where he showed the Dáil the horrific situation his constituents are experiencing with water quality. I have written...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (22 Oct 2024)

Gary Gannon: Did the Taoiseach need a high-level task force, taking over five months to deliver its report, to tell him that Dublin city centre needed more gardaí? On 9 May of this year, when he said he would commission a task force report, he said it would take 12 weeks and that he would bring back its findings before the summer, with an expectation the budget would be allocated as such. We got a...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (22 Oct 2024)

Simon Harris: To Deputy Healy-Rae, I will ask the Minister for Health to come back to him in respect of the ophthalmology unit in Tralee and the timeline for its reopening and to get him some details on that.

Seán Ó Fearghaíl: Deputy, please.

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (22 Oct 2024)

Simon Harris: I will get the Minister for Health to revert to the Deputy directly on the issue. I thank Deputy Flaherty for highlighting what sounds like an extraordinarily difficult and traumatic situation for Jacob and his family. I will speak to the Minister of State, Deputy Butler, about that. I know there was some funding in the budget to try to have better joined-up approaches between CDNTs and...

Information on Repairability of Certain Products Bill 2024: First Stage (22 Oct 2024)

Information on Repairability of Certain Products Bill 2024: First Stage (22 Oct 2024)

Pa Daly: I move: That leave be granted to introduce a Bill entitled an Act to provide that information relating to the repairability of certain products be made available and to provide for related matters. Ba mhaith liom ar dtús mo bhuíochas a ghabháil le hOifig na gComhairleoirí Dlí Parlaiminte as an obair a rinne siad ag ullmhú an Bhille seo, go mór mór...

Information on Repairability of Certain Products Bill 2024: First Stage (22 Oct 2024)

Maurice Quinlivan: I thank the Office of Parliamentary Legal Advisers, OPLA, and the Bills Office for their assistance with the Bill, as well as Lee Daly in Deputy Daly's office and Tony Loughran in my office for their work on the Bill as well. The ability to repair a product is crucial to consumers, who are increasingly expected to replace products where a fault occurs. We have in many cases lost the ability...
