Helen McEntee: To show the Deputy this is certainly not the case any year, every effort is made, whether we are talking about the Legal Aid Board or any other element of the justice system, to ensure money allocated is spent. Nobody likes giving money back or not being able to spend it. When it comes to staffing, however, this can be a challenge across many different agencies or sectors. Certainly,...

Jim O'Callaghan: Regarding the International Protection Office on Mount Street, I welcome the fact, as the Minister has told us previously, that applications can now be made in Citywest. As the Minister will be aware, though, there has been a significant increase in the numbers of people applying. Yet all of them, aside from those people who go to Citywest, must apply in Mount Street. If we look at the...

Helen McEntee: We have two places now. About 48% of people are going to Citywest, which is a significant proportion. It is families with children in particular going there. We have, therefore, two significant bases. Dublin is our capital city and perhaps easier to access for people than other parts of the country. As well as opening up the office in Citywest, however, we are also providing for...

Helen McEntee: On the question Deputy Daly asked with regard to the €1.5 million, this is supporting the implementation of the recommendations and findings of the high-level review group on the role of An Garda Síochána in the public prosecutions system. That is it specifically but I can have that sent to the Deputy.

That concludes the committee's consideration of the Supplementary Estimates for Votes 20, 21, 22 and 24. The Minister and her officials are free to go.

Report of the Joint Committee on Assisted Dying: Motion (Resumed) (17 Oct 2024)

John Lahart: For the public who may be watching, this debate was scheduled for later in the evening but, obviously, business moved much more quickly, and it is concluding now. I am very grateful for the opportunity to speak on it. I will not be supporting any motions on this next week. While I understand why Deputy Kenny is doing that and bringing it forward, because he has very much championed the...

Report of the Joint Committee on Assisted Dying: Motion (Resumed) (17 Oct 2024)

Robert Troy: I thank the Cathaoirleach Gníomhach for giving me the opportunity. I thank the Members for their flexibility in allowing me to say a few words. I was at a very sad funeral down the country today of a young woman of 46 who died of cancer. She had two small children. I am just getting an opportunity to come back here today. As somebody who sat through 96% or 97% of the committee...
