- Ceisteanna - Questions: National Emergency Plan (12 Apr 2017)
Micheál Martin: When we talk about national emergency and the role of the Department of the Taoiseach, it is opportune to again express thanks to all in the emergency services who put themselves in harm's way on a daily basis for the citizens of this country and those who visit. In particular, as Deputy Howlin said, we remember the crew of Rescue 116, Dara Fitzpatrick, Mark Duffy, Paul Ormsby and Ciaran...

- Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committee Meetings (12 Apr 2017)
Micheál Martin: I also pay tribute to Cystic Fibrosis Ireland on an extraordinary and very fair campaign by Philip Watt and his team. I also pay particular tribute to Jillian McNulty, who very bravely led the campaign for Orkambi. There are lessons to be learned. I wonder if the Cabinet committee has considered the broader question of how we deal with orphan drugs. That is the term given to drugs used...
- Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (12 Apr 2017)
Micheál Martin: One thing that has become absolutely clear during the current Bus Éireann dispute is that the Government does not have a transport policy. While the transport portfolio has been held by various high-profile Ministers over the last six years, the Government's only strategy is to try to get through the latest crisis. There is no sense that there is a policy on what level or quality of...

- Questions on Promised Legislation (12 Apr 2017)
Micheál Martin: I wish to make an observation. It is my understanding that since last July nobody has got any water bills. Is that correct? I do not think they will get any in the future either. That is just a little observation when all the outrage and rhetoric is made. There was a reason for that. The programme for Government said funding would be increased for home care packages and home help...

- Leaders' Questions (Resumed) (12 Apr 2017)
Micheál Martin: Calm down.
- Leaders' Questions (12 Apr 2017)
Micheál Martin: That response - €100 million - is meaningless. The hotel money is an appalling waste. The Capuchin centre gets €450,000 and the Taoiseach is talking about €100 million for children in emergency accommodation. I will give the Taoiseach the figures again. In 2013, 4,747 children attended for meals at that centre. At the end of last year, 8,353 had attended. That says...
- Leaders' Questions (12 Apr 2017)
Micheál Martin: Last Friday, I visited the Capuchin Day Centre for Homeless People and met Brother Kevin Crowley and his team. Their work is truly heroic; it is the personification of true Christian values. Their simple objective is to relieve the hardship endured by homeless people. However, their work gives crucial insights into the failure of the various housing strategies and interventions to date to...
- Ceisteanna - Questions: Brexit Issues (11 Apr 2017)
Micheál Martin: I would agree overall with Deputy Burton's point. I am concerned about the level of capacity behind the effort both diplomatically and in key areas, as well as in regard to bringing back people who have a lot of experience with Europe. It seems to me we should tap into that experience, particularly that of former diplomats, former civil servants and people in the private sector who could...

- Ceisteanna - Questions: Northern Ireland (11 Apr 2017)
Micheál Martin: I want to make a point through the Chair. The Northern Ireland Executive and the Assembly were deliberately scuttled on an issue that everyone knew about six months in advance, namely, the renewable heat scandal. Sinn Féin has no monopoly in the context of objecting to corruption, no more than anyone else. Tonight's "Panorama" programme might be revealing in that regard. I want to...
