Seán Kyne: Cuirim fáilte roimh an Aire. Is deas í a fheiceáil ag an gcruinniú seo. Tá cúpla ceist agam maidir leis na Gaelcholáistí agus an Ghaeilge. De réir mo thuisceana, tá a lán rudaí in easnamh sa chreat don pholasaí don oideachas lán-Ghaeilge a chuir an Roinn amach cúpla seachtain ó shín. Níl spriocanna...

Tá sé ráite nach bhfuil orthu daoine atá líofa sa Ghaeilge a earcú le haghaidh poist stiúrtha sinsearacha....

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Construction of New National Children's Hospital: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (25 Sep 2024)

Seán Kyne: I welcome the witnesses. Having been on-site on two occasions with the committee, it is clear it is a very impressive building. It will be a world-class facility.

We do not know how many additional costs will be incurred between now and then....

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Construction of New National Children's Hospital: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (25 Sep 2024)

It adds up to €1.83 million, which is a sum of money, but is not in the order of the issues we are dealing with. There is an issue with...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Construction of New National Children's Hospital: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (25 Sep 2024)

Seán Kyne: I take up Deputy Kenny's point. Some 94% of the building is complete. That is positive.
