- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Office of the Comptroller and Auditor General (9 Jul 2024)
Rose Conway-Walsh: It is very important this is done. It is important that it is done in conjunction with the future funding model of RTÉ. There is no better form of financial oversight and it would immediately increase the transparency and accountability needed to restore confidence. This is why we produced the necessary legislation in the weeks following the scandal. It is a simple and direct...
- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Summer Economic Statement (9 Jul 2024)
Rose Conway-Walsh: I look forward to the meeting of the Committee on Budgetary Oversight tomorrow evening. I am sure the Minister understands why we need the figures for the budget preparation. I refer to what the Minister stated is provided for health. He is providing €1.5 billion in funding for the health service this year. That will be in the base for 2025, but the Government is then providing...
- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Summer Economic Statement (9 Jul 2024)
Paschal Donohoe: Last year's budget represented the highest level of funding that has ever been provided to the Department of Health. At that point, more than €6 billion of additional funding was provided to it, compared with where we were in 2019. What has happened since is that the level of additional health expenditure in the first half of this year exceeded any expectations that I could have had....
- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Summer Economic Statement (9 Jul 2024)
Rose Conway-Walsh: What has been announced today for the health service does not provide for any measures to increase capacity or improve services: it simply allows it to stand still. The capital budget outlined in the statement leaves the budget short by €1.5 billion, based on the targets of the national development plan, in terms of the 5% of GNI*. Sinn Féin wanted to see a change of course...
- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Summer Economic Statement (9 Jul 2024)
Paschal Donohoe: Deputy Conway-Walsh made a call for more capital spending, more money for the health service and more money for social protection. They are just three of the items she listed. All of those would very considerably add to the size of the overall budget package, which already proposes spending growth of 6.9% compared with a year ago. The bigger the Deputy makes the package, in the way she...

- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Budget 2025 (9 Jul 2024)
Richard Boyd Barrett: 37. To ask the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform the public expenditure measures he is considering in the forthcoming budget to address infrastructure and public service deficits and provide for demographic change; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [29952/24]
- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Budget 2025 (9 Jul 2024)
Richard Boyd Barrett: My question follows on from the previous one. If we take housing as an example, the Housing Commission states that need to almost double the number of houses we deliver each year. If I understand what the Minister says in the summer economic statement, there is only going to be €1.4 billion in additional capital spending. Last year's housing package was €5 billion. How on...
- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Budget 2025 (9 Jul 2024)
Paschal Donohoe: Deputy Boyd Barrett refers to a figure of only €1.4 billion. He should take a step back and listen to what he said. Is that all he can offer? He says it is only €1.4 million more. Do his words not feel hollow to him? What we are doing is proposing to increase by more than 10% the amount of capital spending we have within the year compared with where we are at the moment....

- Inquiry into the death of Shane O'Farrell: Motion [Private Members] (9 Jul 2024)
Mattie McGrath: On the basis of the total charade on the part of the Government. It does this every week here. Because these issues are so serious, sinister and grievously wrong, I am demanding a vote.
