Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Agriculture Supports (20 Apr 2023)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: Could I get some detail on the Minister's proposals to support the approximately 4,000 so-called "forgotten farmers"? Could we have a timeline in this regard? We are obviously talking about young farmers impacted by austerity measures and who could not avail of installation aid and young farmer supports under CAP. The Minister spoke several times about the need to deal with this, so we...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Agriculture Supports (20 Apr 2023)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: I expected this to be one of the questions on which there would be agreement. I am referring to people who fell between stools and who could not avail of supports others were able to avail of. We all know the issues concerning farm demographics. Farmers will talk about the difficulty and the fact that so many of them are particularly old. In an awful lot of cases, their own kids do not...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Agriculture Supports (20 Apr 2023)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: I welcome that. I am not going to go through this again. Obviously, we want to see the necessary supports sooner and faster and we want them to be better. Could the Minister give any indication about a general timeline, accepting the difficulties he said arise? The affected people have been waiting for an answer and for supports for a considerable amount of time.

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Agriculture Supports (20 Apr 2023)

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Hospital Services (20 Apr 2023)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: When is it expected that adequate resources for genetic services in Our Lady's Children's Hospital, Crumlin, will be provided? Those living with rare diseases can sometimes wait for over two years for a diagnosis and referral for genetic testing. Sometimes, they can be treated for the wrong condition. These are services that are required, so the sooner they are provided, the better. When...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Hospital Services (20 Apr 2023)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: The Minister should cover all of it.

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Hospital Services (20 Apr 2023)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: It is specifically about genetic testing capacity and making this happen sooner rather than later. The Minister is talking about new staff, which is obviously positive. When will they be in place and where will they operate from? Are we talking about Our Lady's Children's Hospital, Crumlin? I imagine we are. We all know, as I say, that 300,000 people are living with a rare disease. At...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Hospital Services (20 Apr 2023)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: That is most certainly what is required. The Minister spoke about the Get Rare Aware campaign. It comes back to the same question about the timeline for these people being in place. Where exactly will they all be based? What will be the capacity for genetic testing? The crux of the matter is when this new plan will be in play, when the people will be in position and what the timelines...

Courts Bill 2023: Second Stage (19 Apr 2023)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: I concur with an awful lot of what has been said. We will all be supportive of this. We are all aware of backlogged court systems. It is a trite statement on some level to say justice delayed is justice denied but it is very true. I remember doing jury duty and dealing with an assault case. I will not go into the ins and outs of it but the fact is we were dealing with something that had...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Shannon Foynes Port Company: Chairperson Designate (Resumed) (19 Apr 2023)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: He is very welcome. It is a kind of congratulations. I missed a considerable amount of this meeting. I read through Mr. McGarry's opening statement and probably missed all the important parts. However, the fact is that this is all about the port from a point of view of delivering offshore wind and renewables. Mr. McGarry's over-and-back with the Cathaoirleach Gníomhach dealt with...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Shannon Foynes Port Company: Chairperson Designate (Resumed) (19 Apr 2023)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: What will the proposed grid infrastructure be able to deal with? Is it fair to say, as some do, that we are not brave enough here and need to consider greater grid capacity and then a greater level of production? It is very easy to throw out figures.
