Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (2 Jul 2025)

Pádraig Mac Lochlainn: As the Minister knows, the victims of the pyrite scandal in the east coast of Ireland, comprising 3,000 families, rightly received 100% redress. In the west of Ireland we did not get this. Worse, nine months ago the Government looked at the Society of Chartered Surveyors Ireland rates and increased the cap but this was for people who were new entrants. Hundreds of families are being denied...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Hospital Services (2 Jul 2025)

Pádraig Mac Lochlainn: All we are asking for in Donegal is fair play. We are not asking for special treatment; we are asking that our citizens do not have to travel long distances for care that should be provided in their own community. We are asking that our emergency services not be allowed to collapse and that we have the necessary number of surgeons and consultants in Letterkenny University Hospital. If...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Hospital Services (2 Jul 2025)

Pádraig Mac Lochlainn: This could not be more serious. As the Minister of State will know from his Government colleagues, we have been told this very clearly. These doctors and consultants have said publicly on local radio that our emergency services could be lost. Imagine us losing an emergency department in Letterkenny University Hospital. That is how serious our surgical services have gotten to. We are down...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (1 Jul 2025)

Pádraig Mac Lochlainn: What about the surgical hub issue?

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (1 Jul 2025)

Pádraig Mac Lochlainn: There was no response on it.

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (1 Jul 2025)

Pádraig Mac Lochlainn: It absolutely is.

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (1 Jul 2025)

Pádraig Mac Lochlainn: Apologies. Deputy McAuliffe seems to be responding instead of the Ceann Comhairle.

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (1 Jul 2025)

Pádraig Mac Lochlainn: Of course it is.

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (1 Jul 2025)

Pádraig Mac Lochlainn: No. Last Friday, on Highland Radio, the Minister of State, Deputy Marian Harkin, stated that she secured a surgical hub for Sligo University Hospital as part of the Lowry Independents' negotiations for Government. In Donegal, we have been standing together to look at a surgical hub. Our services are in absolute crisis and our emergency Department is threatened. Will the Minister clarify...

Committee on Fisheries and Maritime Affairs: Review of Sea Fisheries and Maritime Jurisdiction Act 2006: Discussion (1 Jul 2025)

Pádraig Mac Lochlainn: I thank the witnesses for their submissions. I previously expressed my serious concern around the SFPA at the agriculture committee, which dealt with fisheries at the time. I want to go through the various points that have been made on accountability and the consistency of approach compared with other European member states. First, I want to share a wee story for members here who might...

Committee on Fisheries and Maritime Affairs: Review of Sea Fisheries and Maritime Jurisdiction Act 2006: Discussion (1 Jul 2025)

Pádraig Mac Lochlainn: The next question is on oversight. I found it extraordinary. Everybody on this committee accepts the need for a regulatory authority. There is a job to be done and that is fair enough but it is about common-sense policing, as I would refer to it. We all know the difference in communities between having a garda who works for the community and having one who does not, and the outworkings of...

Committee on Fisheries and Maritime Affairs: Engagement with Chairperson Designate of the Marine Institute (1 Jul 2025)

Pádraig Mac Lochlainn: I congratulate Mr. Sisk on his new role. I wish him every success. I submitted a parliamentary question to the Minister recently. I am advised that there are 295 aquaculture license applications awaiting an appropriate assessment. It seems to take an inordinate amount of time. There are two problems. If we are looking to develop the aquaculture industry and meet the objectives of BIM...

Committee on Fisheries and Maritime Affairs: Engagement with Chairperson Designate of the Marine Institute (1 Jul 2025)

[35053/25]

Presidential Voting Rights: Motion [Private Members] (24 Jun 2025)

Pádraig Mac Lochlainn: Where I live gives me a unique insight into the failure we have seen over the past decade. The Inishowen Peninsula has seen so many of our people emigrate, forced to go to England and the United States back in the day and more recently to Australia, Canada and the Middle East. That is the story of my peninsula and my county. Just half an hour away is Derry city, an Irish city with Irish...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (24 Jun 2025)

Pádraig Mac Lochlainn: No. As the Taoiseach knows, the victims of defective blocks in the west were not given 100% redress by the Government; however, the Government agreed nine months ago to increase the cap, but not for all homeowners. The Taoiseach said he would sort it out nine months ago. Hundreds of families are tens of thousands of euro short. They are struggling to make the final payments to builders,...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (24 Jun 2025)

Pádraig Mac Lochlainn: Is the Taoiseach interrupting again?
