Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: International Protection (30 Mar 2023)

Pa Daly: When the White Paper on ending direct provision was announced two years ago, it was broadly welcomed on all sides, although we would have preferred more State involvement in the reception and integration centres. Over the past year, however, the situation has deteriorated somewhat as a result of the war in Ukraine. Some of the difficulties of the past year could have been avoided if there...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: International Protection (30 Mar 2023)

Pa Daly: I thank the Minister for the reply. When the White Paper was announced initially, the theme behind it, according to the website, seemed to be about encouraging integration and supporting independent living. There were various plans to use housing bodies, NGOs, urban renewal schemes, hosting and tenancies. However, there has been practically no implementation of any of those plans apart...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: International Protection (30 Mar 2023)

Pa Daly: It seems we are back to square one in that there is an overreliance on for-profit accommodation providers. It seems those seeking international protection will continue in such accommodation for the foreseeable future. The danger is some elements will choose to exploit that. We seem to be back at square one. Has the Minister more or less completely abandoned the reception and integration...

Residential Tenancies (Deferment of Termination Dates of Certain Tenancies) Bill 2023: Second Stage [Private Members] (28 Mar 2023)

Pa Daly: There was a lot of heat and light, and some nonsense, generated from some TDs over the past two weeks in relation to this issue. I have heard some TDs saying that some tenants will require four years' notice and that the State would come in and issue compulsorily purchase orders, CPOs, on all of these houses. Whether they were concerned with voting to extend the ban or to retain it, there...

European Council Decision: Motion (28 Mar 2023)

Pa Daly: I am standing in for Deputy Martin Kenny. We will be allowing this motion to pass, but after the time I have spent in this House, there is a certain sense of déjà vuabout it, given the number of motions in the area of security and justice. Of course, this is a consequence of the Brexit policy, where the tactics have been to delay and delay, even when it is just the inevitable that...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (28 Mar 2023)

Pa Daly: Over the weekend, we saw a programme by the legendary broadcaster, David Attenborough, showcasing Killarney National Park.

Reform of Carer's Allowance Scheme: Motion [Private Members] (22 Mar 2023)

Pa Daly: I also commend Deputy Harkin and the Independent Group for tabling this motion. It is very comprehensive and covers a lot of ground. Over the past two or three weeks in particular, I have had to deal with a number of cases where family members' loved ones who are in community hospitals or the general hospital are coming home and require care. In some cases, they have a certain amount of...

Pa Daly: Cé mhéad airgead breise a cuireadh ar fáil? How much extra was given for rural water schemes in this budget? Feicim na bailte sin cosúil le Mainistir Ó dTorna, An Fhianait agus Gleann Beithe, áiteanna nach bhfuil siad in ann dhá theach a thógáil iontu. Bhí trioblóid le dochtúir a bhí ag iarraidh clinic a bhunú i mbaile...
