Ceisteanna - Questions: Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (22 Oct 2024)

Simon Harris: I propose to take Questions Nos. 11 to 15, inclusive, together. I welcomed the UK Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, to Farmleigh House on 7 September. His visit to Dublin followed our meeting in Chequers on 17 July, when we resolved to have a reset of the Irish-British relationship. At Farmleigh, we agreed to take forward strategic co-operation across four pillars, which we set out in the...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (22 Oct 2024)

Brendan Smith: I welcome the fact that there has been much more active engagement at heads of government and ministerial level between the Irish and British Governments. This needs to continue. The Taoiseach will recall that when the British–Irish Parliamentary Assembly met in his constituency of Wicklow, members of the British and Irish delegations, including me, spoke about the need to intensify...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (22 Oct 2024)

The Cabinet committee on the economy and investment was re-established by the Government on 10 April and most recently met on 1 July. The next meeting of the Cabinet committee has not yet been scheduled. The membership of the committee...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (22 Oct 2024)

Mick Barry: There is €25 billion of a State surplus but not enough therapists for special schools in Cork, brown water coming out of the taps in Cork and bus services in a state of real crisis in Cork. We have buses that never arrive, buses that arrive late and buses that are jam-packed and just sail past the queues at the bus stops. This week, Bus Éireann has cut approximately 800 bus runs...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (22 Oct 2024)

Paul Murphy: A survey reported yesterday that close to 1,000 teaching positions in primary and special schools are vacant. The impact on students is huge. Tens of thousands of kids are being taught for extended periods of time by unqualified teachers. The situation is particularly bad for schools in disadvantaged areas of Dublin, including in Dublin South-West. The housing crisis is so out of control...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (22 Oct 2024)

Richard Boyd Barrett: St. Augustine’s in Blackrock is a school for children with additional needs. It caters for children with those needs from as far north of the city as Santry, the many places in between, Wicklow, the Dún Laoghaire area, which is my area, and other areas of south Dublin. The school is still without two buses to take those children to St. Augustine's, those being the one that comes...

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...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Departmental Policies (22 Oct 2024)

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...
