Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (22 Oct 2024)

Simon Harris: These questions get more interesting the closer you get to the end of this Dáil. I propose to take Questions Nos. 5 to 10, inclusive, together. 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...

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...

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.
