Mary Lou McDonald (Dublin Central, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

The Taoiseach uttered a jibe earlier around the issue of housing north of the Border, which causes me to raise and remind him that the North is grossly underfunded, which is now a recognised fact. The pressures will be felt most acutely in health and education. We have been clear with people from the get-go on that. I ask that rather than taking potshots at me or Michelle O'Neill indirectly, on the issue of funding, that the Taoiseach raises that issue with Keir Starmer. The British Government claims and has jurisdiction at this point - lamentably, in my view - and therefore has a duty to fund the place correctly. On a brighter note, there is a commitment to Casement Park and the delivery of that landmark project.

The British Government needs to make clear what its financial contribution will be. It is indicating that it might come back looking for a bit more from Dublin. Will the Taoiseach set out to the House his ongoing commitment to Casement Park and a willingness to fairly meet the share on behalf of the Dublin Government?
