Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs: The Windsor Framework and Related Matters: Discussion (2 Oct 2024)

Ruairi Ó Murchú: That would be within the rules.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs: The Windsor Framework and Related Matters: Discussion (2 Oct 2024)

Ruairi Ó Murchú: Go raibh maith agat. Cuirim fáilte roimh na finnéithe. I apologise; I was at another event in my constituency. I have a whole pile of excuses that the witnesses will not be particularly worried about.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs: The Windsor Framework and Related Matters: Discussion (2 Oct 2024)

Ruairi Ó Murchú: They are. We are operating on a particular timeline, a bit like the witnesses in what they are talking about. Usually I say that I apologise if I repeat myself, but I probably will not do so here. The crux of the matter is that there is an issue with veterinary medications. If this thing runs out in 2025, we are talking about something that will be somewhat disastrous if we cannot get...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs: The Windsor Framework and Related Matters: Discussion (2 Oct 2024)

Ruairi Ó Murchú: Who are the players who really need to gear up here?

Ruairi Ó Murchú: Otherwise, disaster.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Staffing Levels in HSE: Discussion (2 Oct 2024)

Gino Kenny: I thank the witnesses for their statements. My first question is on the recruitment embargo. Obviously, this embargo lasted for a year and had a detrimental effect on the health service. Would I be right in saying that the pay and numbers strategy is almost a continuation of the embargo but just with a different name? If that is the case, and it seems to be the case where there is a...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Staffing Levels in HSE: Discussion (2 Oct 2024)

Gino Kenny: Okay.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Staffing Levels in HSE: Discussion (2 Oct 2024)

Gino Kenny: On the pay and numbers strategy, it seems like a funny name given to an instrument that is basically enforcing the embargo. Will the witnesses simplify it for the likes of me and those who are listening in? What actually is it?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Staffing Levels in HSE: Discussion (2 Oct 2024)

Gino Kenny: Obviously, the pay and numbers strategy is going down like a lead balloon with the unions. I have a final question and it is probably to Ms Ní Sheaghdha. On the public health nurses, this is a very acute issue in CHO 7. I am going to focus in on CHO 7, Clondalkin and Lucan, where there are no public health nurses whatsoever. I asked a parliamentary question recently, and the HSE...

Financial Resolution No. 4: Stamp Duties (1 Oct 2024)

Eamon Ryan: 10 o’clock I thank the Deputies for their contributions. We share a common interest in changing the market here and this is why we are raising the stamp duty. There were already significant reductions in the instances of bulk buying of apartments on the market and this will further reduce that. Any ones that are going are probably an example of legacy developments. This...

Financial Resolution No. 4: Stamp Duties (1 Oct 2024)

David Cullinane: Consider the many debates we have had in this Chamber about vulture funds swooping in and buying up homes, in some cases buying up housing estates and in some cases apartment blocks. We have had debates like this and the Ministers across the Chamber shrugged their shoulders, saying, "What can we do?". Today the Minister has an opportunity to do something and again this week the Government...

Financial Resolution No. 4: Stamp Duties (1 Oct 2024)

Richard O'Donoghue: Again it is another failure. Bulk buying like this creates, in effect, a cartel. They are coming into an area, bulk buying the houses and creating a cartel, and then they dictate the prices for the area. They are doing it all in prime locations. If a company in the State is building a housing estate, it must have 30% for social housing. When we look at the scenario where houses are being...

Financial Resolution No. 4: Stamp Duties (1 Oct 2024)

Danny Healy-Rae: I thank the Leas-Cheann Comhairle for the opportunity. I am aware I only have a little time. Home ownership is one of the biggest issues in Kerry for young people who want to buy or build their own home. The building option is nearly impossible because of planning permission. Home ownership is unattainable because of the cost of houses. It is hard for a young fella or a young couple - a...
