- An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (15 Oct 2024)
Patrick Costello: The Department of Education is not sufficiently invested in school buildings in Dublin South Central. Our Lady of Good Hope special school still does not have a PE hall. Parents in Bunscoil Synge Street contacted me recently about the Catholic Guides who are selling their community hall on Synge Street facing the school. Bunscoil Synge Street and the secondary school are growing schools....

Simon Harris: I thank Deputy Costello for raising the issues for Our Lady of Good Hope and for Bunscoil Synge Street. I know he raises on a very regular basis the issue of schools' capacity and facilities in his constituency of Dublin South Central. At Cabinet today we just agreed a very significant Supplementary Estimate for the Department of Education recognising its capital needs. I will ask the...

Pádraig Mac Lochlainn: I raise the issue of fair pay and conditions for school transport escorts. They are a really crucial part of disabled children's lives. Parents all across the State have provided testimony about this. Unfortunately they do not get paid during the school holidays and they have to sign on. They are left waiting and waiting. In my constituency I have met large numbers of them. I have also...

Simon Harris: I thank Deputy Mac Lochlainn for raising this important matter. He is right to highlight the very important work done by our school transport escorts. I will seek an urgent update for him from the Minister for Education on this and revert to him directly.

Danny Healy-Rae: I raised the issue of a pathologist for Kerry on 19 June. There has been no improvement since. Last week we had a delay of eight days for a Rathmore man. On Sunday evening my long-time best friend and neighbour, Tim John Healy, passed away and there is no account of his post-mortem yet. When a sudden death happens and the remains go away to the morgue, all people want to do is to get the...

Danny Healy-Rae: All that is happening in Kerry at the minute is that Margot Bolster, the State Pathologist, is doing her level best. She comes on Saturdays, Sunday mornings, bank holiday Mondays.

Simon Harris: I thank the Deputy for raising the matter. I extend to Deputy Healy Rae my sympathies on the passing of his friend Tim John Healy, and also to Noreen and the family. I am sorry for their loss. On the issue of pathology services in Kerry, I understand the sensitivities with time. At a time of tragedy or sadness, people just want their loved one back. I will certainly seek an update on the...

Paul Murphy: Two years ago this week, tens of thousands of third level students led by USI walked out of lecture theatres to protest over the student accommodation crisis and the cost-of-living crisis. Two years on, they will do exactly the same this Thursday, 17 October at 11.30 a.m. Most of their problems have only got worse. The housing crisis has got worse and the cost-of-living crisis has got...

Ivana Bacik: It is some weeks since the budget but those locked out of securing housing are realising how little it does for them because house prices and rents are still going up and availability is not keeping pace with demand for homes. I know the Taoiseach will agree on this because we are all so aware of the chronic housing shortage and the impact it is having on so many people and communities. The...
