Peadar Tóibín: Where one lives in Ireland is a significant determinant of whether one will survive cancer or die from it. In Ireland today counties and postcodes should have Government health warnings. When a cancer diagnosis happens in a family, a dark cloud descends. While there obviously is hope in terms of treatment, there is no doubt that for serious cancers, every moment of the day is consumed with...

Transparency for Supermarket Profits: Motion [Private Members] (9 Jul 2025)

Peadar Tóibín: Ireland is the second-most expensive country in Europe. It is quite incredible we have a situation where parents are lying awake at night not knowing how they are going to pay certain bills. I know parents who, as soon as their monthly wages drop in, go into another overdraft to keep them going until the wages next come in. The Barnardos report yesterday was absolutely shocking. For some...

Committee on Infrastructure and National Development Plan Delivery: Judicial Review and Appeals Process: Engagement with Courts Service (9 Jul 2025)

Peadar Tóibín: Gabhaim buíochas leis na finnéithe as a gcur i láthair inniu agus cuirim fáilte rompu. The purpose of our committee is to try to unpick the delays and costs that are affecting so many infrastructural and housing projects. It seems to be the case that, even before construction ever starts for anything, the journey is so long. There are so many different hoops that have...

Committee on Infrastructure and National Development Plan Delivery: Judicial Review and Appeals Process: Engagement with Courts Service (9 Jul 2025)

Peadar Tóibín: Ms Denning said that 252 cases are currently in the system for this year. There are three full-time judges and two part-time. Let us say there are four judges in this scenario. That means each judge has 63 cases. If it takes two months for a judge to give a judgement on each of those cases, then we are talking about 126 months for those cases that are in place, which is ten years for this...

Committee on Infrastructure and National Development Plan Delivery: Judicial Review and Appeals Process: Engagement with Courts Service (9 Jul 2025)

Peadar Tóibín: No bother. Ms Denning has given us examples of two speedy cases and slow cases of four and six years. Can we as a committee get an average? I do think that is important. It may not be today, but at a further time. We are regularly told by Ministers that the judicial review process is slowing down the delivery of construction infrastructure. We need to know what the average time is.
