An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (12 Dec 2023)

Johnny Mythen: As the Taoiseach is aware all children, including those with special needs, have a constitutional right to be educated in a place and manner that is appropriate to their needs. I understand the Educate Together school in Gorey has an ASD unit fully funded and ready to go. It has space for six students and a further 18 on its waiting list. However, it is waiting on the go-ahead from the...

Johnny Mythen: Retained firefighters provide fire and first responder emergency services 24-7 to our communities. I thank County Wexford members for their unwavering dedication to their job.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Impact of Rising Veterinary Costs on Dog Ownership and Surrenders and Abandoned Dogs: Discussion (6 Dec 2023)

Johnny Mythen: On surrender requests, it is difficult to believe that of the 1,889 cases, only 24 relate to financial and medical circumstances. That does not sound right. I disagree with Mr. Cashman in one respect. In my area at least, it is as expensive to go to a vet as it to go to a GP. I know he has to represent the views of his members but I have to represent my constituents. I hear that on the...

Renters: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (5 Dec 2023)

Johnny Mythen: The recent Residential Tenancies Board report states that new rents have increased annually by 11.6% and that existing rents have risen by 5%. This represents the highest annual increase on record. The latest figures for inflation show that it is 3.6% in Ireland. The consumer price index has risen by 5.1%. Food is up by 7%. Electricity, gas and fuels are all up by 7.2%. When these costs...

Neutrality: Motion [Private Members] (28 Nov 2023)

Johnny Mythen: Irish neutrality is and will be undermined by the removal of the triple lock and the changing of legislation on the dispatch of Defence Forces personnel overseas. The Government's language and U-turn on military neutrality do not keep faith with the Seville Declaration, which states that for Ireland to participate in any military operations overseas it must have authorisation by the UN...

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (22 Nov 2023)

Johnny Mythen: On behalf of farmers and the gardening industry, particularly in Wexford, I ask for an extension of the ban on green waste burning. This year's exceptionally wet summer and autumn has delayed the work in disposing of the piles of bracken and brush from ditches and so on that were saturated during the summer. I am aware that burning is allowed until 30 November. Farmers need some...

Palestine: Motion [Private Members] (22 Nov 2023)

Johnny Mythen: I thank People Before Profit for bringing forward this motion. Children screaming out the names of the their dead parents, frantic fathers running with their badly wounded children wrapped in their trembling arms, mothers bereft of any emotion looking upon a maze of dead bodies wrapped in blood-soaked sheets while others search in vain for their children entombed under tonnes of rubble and...

Johnny Mythen: I thank the Minister and his officials for being here. The Minister said he was interested in balanced regional economic growth. How is he going about that? What is the process? Often in rural areas, the regional breakdown is not very good. On the equine anti-doping programme, the review concluded the programme does “at least match international best practice in most respects...
