Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Library Services (9 May 2024) See 5 other results from this debate

Heather Humphreys: I love libraries. They are wonderful places and do fantastic work. They are hives of activity for all the community. Older people learn computer skills. There are language classes for people who are looking to learn a new language. There are book clubs, which are a great way to meet people. A lot is happening in our libraries. We have 330 libraries across the country. They come in...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Departmental Programmes (9 May 2024) See 7 other results from this debate

Joe O'Brien: My Department's community services programme supports more than 430 community-based organisations to provide local services through a social enterprise model with an annual co-funding contribution towards each full-time equivalent position being supported and, where warranted, towards the cost of employing a manager. In March 2023, funding of €1 million was made available for a call...

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: I welcome what the Minister said but there is a need for local authorities to be more ambitious again. The Minister has a role in that but there is also a role for local authorities. As I said, some local authorities have taken up the mantle. While taking ownership of buildings and returning them to community use is important, part of this is also a need to take ownership of buildings and...

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: I welcome that and I have heard some pieces on this issue. As the Minister says, it is a very significant issue in terms of livestock and it obviously has a huge impact on livelihoods. No farmer wants to see their livestock attacked. Of course, we have also seen some very serious attacks on people, including children, in recent years. There have been some fairly horrifying attacks. As...

Brendan Griffin: I welcome the recent allocation of funding nationwide. I particularly welcome the funding for Kerry because is very badly needed. I again call on the Minister, Deputy Ryan, if he is watching, to put some money on the table for the LIS from his Department's budget. He has plenty of money in that budget. I wish to emphasise some of the figures that Tommy Griffin gave me. I think this...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Island Communities (9 May 2024) See 8 other results from this debate

Catherine Connolly: The Minister takes a hands-on approach, and I welcome that. I have always said that. With regard to the islands policy, it was dragged out, was it not? Eventually we got it. It is not based on legislation. It includes timescales and objectives that must be adhered to. I have only less than 40 seconds left. I repeat that the matter relating to Caladh Mór pier has been going on...

Heather Humphreys: I have no doubt it is a good community. I will tell the Deputy a story. I was talking to a fellow one day and he asked me: “How come we got no money? How come we did not get any grant?” I asked if they had put in an application and he said “No.” I said that if you do not put in an application, it is not going to fall out of the sky. I appreciate there is...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Disability Services (8 May 2024) See 7 other results from this debate

Thomas Gould: There is a serious knock-on effect for children because of the failures to provide therapies. Behavioural issues are getting worse, children are falling behind and through the gaps, and staff are under constant pressure and stress, all of which could be resolved. We will not be able to fix everything but if the Minister of State, Deputy Rabbitte, were to provide €150,000, the...

David Stanton: I thank the Minister of State for his response. I agree that we all want the boil water notice to be issued as soon as possible. However, the most recent information I have is that it will take at least 22 months before the plant can be commissioned, so it is almost another two years to wait on top of the many months that have already had to be endured by the people in that area. My...

Alan Dillon: I thank Deputy Crowe for his engagement and passion to see that this project is delivered in a timely manner. I can confirm that Tubber National School is due to receive a capital grant approval in the coming days for the initiation of the delivery phase. The next step in the process will be for the school authorities to again engage with the consultant and with the approved appointed...

Alan Dillon: I again thank Deputy Nolan for raising this important matter on behalf of Charleville National School and for giving me the opportunity again to reassure the House that the Department of Education is committed to the accelerated provision of this modular accommodation to meet the urgent school accommodation needs. It is important that the officials in the Department of Education continue to...
